What kind of water pipes are good for renovation? Considerations for selecting water pipes.
Author:
Water pipes are key materials in home decoration. Whether it's new decoration or renovation, water pipes are important materials that provide assurance for our daily water use. Choosing good water pipes is what everyone hopes for. What kind of water pipes are good for decoration? Below, Jiu Zheng Pipe Network will introduce this to everyone, along with some purchasing tips for water pipes, hoping everyone pays attention.
"Hidden works" is a very important issue. If water pipes leak or burst, it will lead to irreparable consequences. In the past, the pipes used for water supply were mainly cast iron pipes. Outdoors, sand mold cast iron pipes were mainly used, while indoors, galvanized cast iron pipes were used. However, after a few years of use, they are prone to rust and bacteria, which seriously endangers human health. It is evident that the choice of water pipe materials is very important.
Classification of water pipe bridges: There is a difference between metal and plastic.
Water pipes are the pipelines for water supply. Modern decoration uses wall-embedded construction for water pipes. There are three types of water pipes: first, metal pipes, such as inner enamel plastic hot-dip cast iron pipes, copper pipes, stainless steel pipes, etc. Second, plastic-coated metal pipes, such as plastic-coated steel pipes, aluminum-plastic composite pipes, etc. The third type is plastic pipes, such as PB and PP-R.
Standard water pipes have requirements: meeting actual needs is very important.
Water pipes are hidden works in home decoration, and the water pipes in kitchens and bathrooms are essential parts of the home. Daily water use, bathing, and bathroom drainage all rely on water pipes. However, due to their hidden nature, the choice of water pipes becomes exceptionally important. Data shows that once these hidden works undergo renovation, the investment will be more than ten times the initial investment. So what requirements should standard water pipes meet?
(1) Economic performance
The economic type of water pipes cannot be measured by a one-time investment because it is a product with "small investment, large loss." Long lifespan, maintenance-free, and no loss are the key aspects of the economic performance of water pipes. If the water pipes and fittings cannot match the lifespan of the building, it will cause consumers to incur losses of more than ten times the initial investment in water pipes (mainly due to repeated losses of decorative materials), and may also lead to property losses and increased maintenance costs.
(2) Environmental and sanitary performance
Good water pipe materials should not cause pollution to water and should be recyclable, with no concerns about reuse, leaving behind a pile of polluted waste for future generations without good ways to handle it. We need to think about future generations.
(3) Corrosion resistance performance
Good water pipe materials should not only have sufficient strength but also strong corrosion resistance. This mainly includes: resistance to water flow corrosion, resistance to water quality corrosion, and resistance to air corrosion. Corrosion is a factor that causes water pipes to leak, but it is also a factor that causes water pipes to pollute the water source.
(4) Thermal expansion performance
We use cold water and hot water; the environment we live in also changes with the four seasons of the year. Therefore, good water pipe materials should not be heat-conductive materials and should have a small thermal expansion coefficient, with strong adaptability to environmental and usage temperatures. A high thermal expansion coefficient is also one of the reasons for leaks.
