Water pipes are crucial materials in home decoration. Whether it's a new renovation or a refurbishment, water pipes are essential for providing our daily water supply. Choosing good water pipes is what everyone hopes for. What kind of water pipes are good for renovation? Below, we will introduce them, and also share some precautions for water pipe selection. We hope everyone will pay attention.
"Concealed engineering" is a very important issue. Water pipe leakage and bursts will lead to irreparable consequences. In the past, cast iron pipes were mainly used for water supply. Sand-molded cast iron pipes were mainly used outdoors, while galvanized cast iron pipes were used indoors. However, after several years of use, a large amount of rust and scale is easily produced, breeding bacteria and seriously endangering human health. It can be seen that the choice of water pipe materials is very important.
Water pipe bridge classification: Metal and plastic have differences
Water pipes are pipes for supplying water. Modern renovation water pipes are all installed using embedded wall construction. There are three types of water pipes: metal pipes, such as internally plastic-coated hot-dip galvanized cast iron pipes, copper pipes, and stainless steel pipes; plastic-clad metal pipes, such as plastic-clad steel pipes and aluminum-plastic composite pipes; and plastic pipes, such as PB and PP-R.
Standard water pipes have requirements: Meeting actual needs is very important
Water pipes are concealed engineering in home decoration, and the water pipes in the kitchen and bathroom are indispensable parts of the home. Daily water use, bathing, and bathroom drainage all depend on water pipes. However, due to their concealed nature, the choice of water pipes becomes extremely important. Data shows that once these concealed projects are renovated, the investment will be more than 10 times the initial investment. So what requirements should standard water pipes meet?
(1) Economic performance
The economic performance of water pipes cannot be measured by a one-time investment, because it is a product with "low investment and high losses." Long lifespan, maintenance-free, and no losses are the key to the economic performance of water pipes. If water pipes and pipe fittings cannot have the same lifespan as buildings, they will bring consumers losses more than 10 times the initial investment of water pipes (mainly multiple losses of decoration materials), and may also cause property losses to families and increase maintenance costs.
(2) Environmental protection and hygiene performance
Good water pipe materials should not pollute the water and can be used repeatedly without any concerns about reuse. They will not leave a large amount of polluted waste for future generations without a good way to deal with it. We must consider future generations.
(3) Corrosion resistance
In addition to sufficient strength, good water pipe materials must also have strong corrosion resistance. This mainly includes resistance to water flow corrosion, water quality corrosion, and air corrosion. Corrosion is a factor in water pipe leakage, but it is also a factor that causes water pipes to pollute water sources.
(4) Thermal expansion performance
We use cold water and hot water; our living environment also changes throughout the year. Therefore, good water pipe materials should not be heat-conducting materials, but should have a low coefficient of thermal expansion and strong adaptability to environmental and operating temperatures. A high coefficient of thermal expansion is also one of the reasons for leakage.
