The main difference between 4 points and 6 points of pipe fittings lies in the diameter and applicable scenarios.
★ Diameter difference
The diameter of the 4-point pipe is shorter, about 20mm (0.787 inches); the diameter of the 6-point pipe is longer, about 25mm (0.984 inches). This difference in diameter directly affects the water flow and applicable scenarios.
★ Applicable scenarios
The 4-point pipe is suitable for low-flow environments, such as household tap water pipes, branch water pipes in the kitchen, etc. Due to its small diameter and fast water flow, it is suitable for occasions where a large amount of water is not required.
6-point pipe is suitable for high-flow environments, such as farmland irrigation, industrial production, etc. Due to its large diameter, it can provide a larger water flow and is suitable for occasions that require a large amount of water.
★ Material and pressure resistance
The material of the 6-point pipe is usually stronger, has stronger pressure resistance, and can withstand higher water pressure, so it is more popular in occasions that require higher safety.
★ Selection suggestions
When choosing pipe fittings, you should decide whether to use a 4-way pipe or a 6-way pipe based on the specific usage scenario and needs. If the household water consumption is not large, you can choose a 4-way pipe to save space and cost; if a large amount of water is required, it is recommended to use a 6-way pipe to ensure smooth water flow.
