Ka taea te wehewehe i ngā takirere pūrerehua ki ngā takirere pūrerehua hau, ngā takirere pūrerehua hiko, ngā takirere pūrerehua ā-ringa, me ētahi atu. Ko te takirere pūrerehua he takirere e whakamahi ana i te pereti pūrerehua porowhita hei wāhanga whakatuwhera me te kati, ā, ka huri me te kakau takirere hei whakatuwhera, hei kati me te whakarite i te ara wai. Ka tāutahia te pereti pūrerehua o te takirere pūrerehua ki te ahunga diameter o te paipa. I roto i te ara porotaka o te tinana takirere pūrerehua, ka huri te pereti pūrerehua āhua kōpae huri noa i te tuaka, ā, ko te koki hurihanga kei waenganui i te 0° me te 90°. Ina tae te hurihanga ki te 90°, ka tuwhera katoa te takirere. Ko te takirere pūrerehua, e kiia ana ko te takirere taupoki, he momo takirere whakahaere he hanganga ngāwari. Ka taea hoki te whakamahi mō te whakahaere whakaweto-whakaweto o ngā pāpāho paipa pēhanga iti. Ko te takirere pūrerehua e pā ana ki tētahi momo takirere ko tōna wāhanga kati (kōpae, pereti pūrerehua rānei) he kōpae, e huri ana i te kakau takirere hei whakatutuki i te whakatuwheratanga me te kati. Ko te nuinga o te wā ka whakamahia mō te tapahi me te whakawhāiti i te paipa. Ko te wāhanga whakatuwhera me te kati o te takirere pūrerehua he pereti pūrerehua āhua kōpae, e hurihuri ana i tōna ake tuaka i roto i te tinana takirere hei whakatutuki i te kaupapa o te whakatuwhera me te kati, te whakatikatika rānei. Ko te takirere pūrerehua he iti iho i te 90° mai i te tuwhera katoa ki te kati katoa. Kāore he kaha raka-ake o te takirere pūrerehua me te kakau pūrerehua. Mō te tūnga o te pereti pūrerehua, me tāuta he whakaiti taputapu kutukutu ki te kakau takirere. Mā te whakamahinga o te whakaiti taputapu kutukutu, ehara i te mea ka taea anake te hanga i te kaha raka-ake o te pereti pūrerehua, ka mutu te pereti pūrerehua i tetahi tūranga, engari ka whakapai ake hoki i te mahi a te takirere. Ko te āhuatanga o te takirere pūrerehua ahumahi he ātete pāmahana teitei, he awhe pēhanga teitei, he whānui ingoa nui o te takirere, he mea hanga te tinana takirere ki te maitai waro, ā, ko te mowhiti hiri o te pereti takirere he mowhiti whakarewa hei utu mō te mowhiti rapa. Ko te takirere pūrerehua pāmahana teitei nui he mea hanga ki te whakarewa pereti maitai, ā, ko te nuinga o te wā ka whakamahia mō ngā awa hau me ngā paipa hau o ngā pāpāho pāmahana teitei.

E ai ki te hanganga, ka taea te wehewehe i ngā takirere pūrerehua ki te momo pereti taurite, te momo pereti poutū, te momo pereti piko me te momo rīwhi. E ai ki te āhua hiri, ka taea te wehewehe ki ngā momo e rua: te momo hiri āhua me te momo hiri mārō. Ko te momo hiri ngohengohe he hiri mowhiti rapa te tikanga, ā, ko te momo hiri mārō he hiri mowhiti whakarewa. E ai ki te momo hononga, ka taea te wehewehe ki te hononga flange me te hononga wafer; e ai ki te momo tuku, ka taea te wehewehe ki te tuku ā-ringa, te tuku taputapu, te hau, te waipēhi me te hiko.
