There are several types of plumbing pipes; everyone has their own role and specific utility. Used in domestic plumbing, are also used in irrigation and industrial sectors. In this section, we will talk mainly of household pipes.
In the domestic plumbing, copper and plastic are the most used, lead is forbidden for hygiene and safety reasons. One can also find concrete pipes, stoneware and fiber cement; the latter are used in evacuation.
- Plastic pipes
The plastic tubes are flexible and supple. In this category, we can distinguish PVC, CPVC and PEX. PVC is typically used for the evacuation circuits, generally of a larger diameter, these tubes are attached to the wall by collars and are connected with simple connections.
The CPVC pipes are used for food, their diameter is 12 mm and can be connected with reparation fuiteua paris8 joint connectors. These tubes are attached to the wall with screw clamps. They offer more benefit than PVC in assembly and sealing.
PER or high density polyethylene Reticulated are the most revolutionary plastic pipes. They are of a strength and sealing which make handling and easy use for the hot water supply and cold water (ECFS), central heating and floor heating. The connections of these tubes are seamless, no need for bonding, assembly is done just by sliding or crimp fittings. They are fixed to the wall by simple necklaces and are easy to cut. PEX tubes generally available in 3 colors, blue, red and green; these colors just serve as reference arrivals and returns within heating and sanitation cold / hot water (blue for domestic cold water or returns within heating systems; red for water hot (ECS) and the arrival of heating). PERs are also used by their lifespan, which can reach 50 to 200 years, which is why it is a good copper replacement item.
- Copper tubes
Copper tubes are easy to recognize because of their color. These are rigid bars, that is why their use requires a lot of experience and ability. Their attachment to the wall is much more complex than for plastic pipes.
Note that each type of pipe follows a list of standardized diameters, it is used for evacuation, food or sewage system.
