Plumbing Connections and Flow Resistance

Front

Forming or bending pipework into shape offers less resistance to water flow than using a fitting.

Back

Bending pipework is more efficient for water flow.

Front

Plumbing systems require connections, which can be achieved through fittings or bending.

Back

Connections are necessary for plumbing functionality.

Seal type

Back

Couplers provide a watertight seal.

Front

An elbow has a very abrupt corner, which offers resistance to the flow of water.

Back

The resistance offered by an elbow is due to its abrupt corner.

Front

A bend has a sweeping corner, which offers little resistance to the flow of water.
