L-Type Pagoda Water Pipe Connector

Product types

As a professional Chinese manufacturer of L-Type Pagoda Water Pipe Connectors, Shenchi offers two primary product types:

L-Type Pagoda Water Pipe Connector: Both ends feature a barbed pagoda structure, designed for creating a 90-degree directional connection between two flexible hoses.

L-Type Male Threaded Pagoda Connector: One end features a barbed pagoda structure for connecting to a flexible hose, while the other end features external (male) threads, designed for creating a 90-degree directional connection between a hose and a piece of equipment with an internal (female) threaded port.

Both types feature a 90-degree angled design with identical specifications for the barbed pagoda ends. They are available in a choice of materials: 304 stainless steel, 316L stainless steel, or brass. The key distinction lies in the connection method: the former facilitates a direct hose-to-hose connection, while the latter facilitates a transitional connection between a hose and a piece of equipment, thereby offering flexible selection options to suit various installation scenarios.

What is the difference between the L-Type Pagoda Water Pipe Connector and the L-Type Male Threaded Pagoda Connector?

Core Difference: The Shenchi L-Type Pagoda Water Pipe Connector features a dual-barb interface (both ends are barbed pagoda heads, designed for connecting directly to flexible hoses). The L-Type Male Threaded Pagoda Connector features an external thread on one end and a barbed pagoda on the other, designed for connecting a flexible hose to a rigid pipe or valve body with internal threads. Shenchi’s high-performance L-Type Pagoda Water Pipe Connectors are forged from brass or 304/316L stainless steel; their 90-degree right-angle structure is ideal for redirecting pipelines. The dual-barb design ensures a tight, secure grip—especially when paired with hose clamps—to prevent detachment and leakage. These fittings offer excellent resistance to pressure, corrosion, and aging. The 316L stainless steel variant is specifically suited for highly corrosive environments, such as those involving seawater or chemical processing. Easy to install, these fittings are ideal for low-pressure hose connections in plumbing, pneumatic systems, and industrial fluid applications, offering exceptional stability and durability.

Installation Instructions

The Shenchi brand L-Type Pagoda Water Pipe Connector, manufactured to national standards, is easy to install. Following the steps below ensures a reliable connection:

Step 1: Hose Cutting

Use a specialized hose cutter to cut the end of the hose squarely and flat, avoiding angled cuts or burrs, to ensure a perfect fit against the pagoda barbs. For braided or reinforced hoses, it is recommended to use a hot-cutting method to seal the edges and prevent fraying.

Step 2: Pagoda End Connection

Insert the hose vertically onto the pagoda end until the hose face makes contact with the base of the pagoda fitting. The pagoda barbs feature a stepped design that creates multiple sealing rings once the hose is inserted. For high-pressure applications, secure the connection using a stainless steel hose clamp or spring clip; the clamp should be positioned between the second and third pagoda barbs.

Step 3: Threaded End Connection

Select the appropriate sealing method for the threaded end based on its specifications: G-threads (parallel pipe threads) require a rubber or copper gasket for sealing; NPT or R-threads (tapered pipe threads) require wrapping 3–5 turns of PTFE thread seal tape before tightening. When tightening, apply the wrench to the hexagonal body of the fitting to prevent torque from being transmitted to the hose connection point.

Step 4: Pressure Testing

Upon completion of installation, perform a static pressure test at 1.5 times the system's working pressure. If no leaks are observed after maintaining this pressure for 3 minutes, the assembly is ready for use. The installation procedure for the corresponding L-Type Male Threaded Pagoda Connector in this series is identical—differing only in the thread type—allowing for flexible selection based on the specific interface requirements.

Application Fields

1. Water Treatment Equipment

The L-Type Pagoda Water Pipe Connector is designed for 90-degree directional connections between PE and PU tubing in water purifiers, water softeners, and RO (Reverse Osmosis) systems. When manufactured from 316L stainless steel, it meets food-grade sanitary requirements. A complementary L-Type Male Threaded Pagoda Connector within the same series is available for applications where the equipment interface features an internal (female) thread.

2. Pneumatic Automation Systems

Used for pneumatic tubing routing in air compressors, pneumatic valve manifolds, and automated assembly lines. Its L-shaped structure conserves internal equipment space, while compatibility with quick-connect collets facilitates rapid assembly, disassembly, and maintenance.

3. Sanitary Ware and Home Appliances

Connects water inlet hoses for smart toilets, dishwashers, washing machines, and similar appliances. When constructed from brass, the L-Type Pagoda Water Pipe Connector offers excellent thermal conductivity, making it suitable for hot water lines. The L-Type Male Threaded Pagoda Connector is designed to accommodate a wider range of interface standards found in imported equipment.

4. Industrial Cooling and Lubrication Systems

Applied in machine tool cooling lines and hydraulic lubrication systems. The stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance, enabling reliable performance in demanding environments involving oil mist, cutting fluids, and similar complex operating conditions.
