    Pipe tube connection

    Hi , I have a 3/4 pipe closed at one end.. I need to connect a isolation valve for venting purpose. What are the best connection type to connect the pipe and the valve without having to weld (just cut the closed end and connect)? What fittings are required ? Can you refer to any standard that...

    voltage drop & high alarm

    Hi guys, Was wrong about power connection. Detector is loop powered (not external power supply). Its a two core wire, and there's a junction box and termination panel between detector and plc. Thank you
