What is an Elbow In Plumbing?

An Elbow, not that in your arm, but that used to join two lengths of pipes to introduce a change in direction of flow of fluid(gas or liquid) is what we are going to talk about today on Guardian Constructors.

In Plumbing, Elbows play vital roles in the life of every plumber. I am sure there are only a few plumbers who'd complete a project without coming in contact with at least one elbow.

So let's talk about Elbows and what they are in the piping world.

What are elbows In Plumbing?

As we rightfully described above, elbows are pipe fittings used to join 2 lengths of pipes to create a change in the direction of the flow of fluid.

It remains one of the many pipe fittings you are going to have to deal with in your career as a Plumber.

How Many types of Elbows in Plumbing?

In basic plumbing, there are 3 main types of the elbow. There are however more advanced you are going to come in contact with as you advance your plumbing career.

1. 90-degree elbow
2. 45-degree elbow
3. 22.5-degree elbow
4. Street Elbow

The 90-Degree elbow is the most common, it comes with a radius and has the 90-degree on the inside of it.

90-degree elbow

The 45-degree elbow is less common compared to the 90-degree elbows.

45-degree elbow

22.4-degree elbows are derived by further halving 45-degree elbows.

As for the street elbows, they are referred to as street elbows because while the regular elbows (90-degree elbows) has the hub or female threaded connections at each end, while a street elbow has the female fitting on one end and a male fitting on the other.

Street Elbow

Let's see more details about elbows used in Plumbing and this time, we are going to be answering what materials are used to make elbows.

Materials used to Make Elbows.

The most common elbow you are going to come in contact with as a plumber is that made with non-metallic materials like the PVC.

However, there are several other types of elbows made with Carbon, Galvanized steel, stainless steel, iron copper, etc.

Where are Elbows Used In Plumbing?

In Plumbing, an elbow irrespective of the materials used in manufacturing it, are used to change the angle or direction of the pipe run. 

Elbows are most common where there is 90-degrees or 45-degree turns. 

The sweep of the fitting describes how fast a transition or change in direction is made.

How To Enable 2 Factor Authentication for Facebook

How To Enable 2 Factor Authentication for Your Facebook Account

Today on Building Contractor Secrets, I have decided to take some time out and answer a very important question that would help every of my reader stay safe on the internet. It is about Internet security and this time, I am going to be teaching us how to enable 2 Factor Authentication for Facebook and we are going to be using Authy Android App.

After going through this article, you are expected to understand what 2-factor authentication stands for as well as be able to use Authy, one of the most advanced and reliable 2 Factor Authentication Apps ever developed to help solve 2 Factor authentication issues.

Let's quickly see what 2-Factor Authentication means for you like someone new in this aspect of internet security.

what is Facebook 2-factor authentication?

2-Factor authentication or 2FA as fondly called by Techies is a means of additional protection to our online accounts. It further safeguards against Cyber Attacks.

Cyber attacks could compromise your online security, expose some confidential details like passwords, linked accounts, etc to a hacker if this information is not properly safeguarded. This is the need for 2FA.

The truth remains Cyber attacks are on the rise especially as global cybercrime is expected to inflict a total of $6 Trillion in Damages by the end of the year 2021.

$6 Billion in damage? Remember Africa's total economy is worth about $3 Trillion. This equally means whatever the total damage resulting from cybercrime is, it is worth twice the economy of Africa. This is very sad.

In Nigeria, Businessday did make it known that Nigerian banks lost over N3.5 Billion within July and September. This happened in the year 2020. This only means a 534% increase from what was obtainable in the year 2019 where the total loss within the same period amounted to only NGN 552 Billion.

This does not mean cybercrimes only happen in Africa. Recent data from the FBI placed Nigeria as the 16th most affected country in the world - Sahara Reporters

What this means is that there are other countries where the damage is greater. This simply means there is a need to improve internet security for everyone. The cheapest way to achieve this is to properly set up 2-factor authentication across all your devices, especially those connected to the internet.

Do you know that 2 persons get attacked by hackers every minute? That means there is almost a total of 120 attacks from hackers every hour.

The Simplest Form Of 2 Factor Authentication is Failing

Before now, 2 Factor authentication meant receiving a time-based confirmation sent to your registered phone number. This could be a text message with a 6/8 digit code that must be entered to confirm your identity, confirm you are the current user trying to access such an online account.

It is sad because this type of 2-factor authentication has failed woefully as there are several ways a hacker could get access to your codes without having physical contact with your phone. Stay with me!

Do you know a hacker could bribe a telecommunication worker and have him or she reveal messages coming to your sim or perform a sim swap without your approval? This means whatever information (Including a 2-factor authentication directed to your phone) could be forwarded to another phone without your knowledge, thereby granting a hacker unlimited access to your bank account, social media account, etc.

Remember Lorrie Cranor? She was US Chief Technologist Federal Trade Commission. According to her

"A few weeks ago an unknown person walked into a mobile phone store, claimed to be me, asked to upgrade my mobile phones, and walked out with two brand new iPhones assigned to my telephone numbers. My phones immediately stopped receiving calls, and I was left with a large bill and the anxiety..."

- Hackers loot cellphone accounts

Now if such could be done to a Chief Technologist of America's Federal Trade Commission, who am I? Who are you? Do you have Armed Bodyguards? Do you have a private server and a series of Laser-enabled safe? I guess no!

Please and please, enable 2 Factor Authentication Now.

Ok, enough of the history. Let's see how we could enable 2-factor authentication on the world's most popular social media platform (Facebook)

How does Facebook 2-factor authentication work?

From series of research, i and my team realized that whatever Wikipedia wrote about Two-factor Authentication is true. On the page, Wikipedia explained 2-factor authentication as an electronic authentication method in which a user is granted access to a website/ application or online account only after he's able to present 2 or more pieces of evidence to an authentication mechanism

Sounds more like presenting your Passcode and a valid means of identification before you're allowed access into an examination hall right?

Now explaining how Facebook 2-factor authentication works, we could see that Facebook would require more than a username and password to allow you access to your Facebook profile (Online account)

For the sake of this piece of content, I am going to introduce you "Authy". A 2-factor Authentication
