How to choose the right water pipe? What water pipes are used for home decoration?

Generally, we need to use water pipes for decoration. Water pipes are concealed works in home decoration, which are very troublesome to maintain. Choosing good quality water pipes can relieve your worries. It is suggested that the water pipe should be better in the later stage, so there will be no trouble! At present, the water pipes for residential decoration are mainly divided into galvanized pipes, UPVC pipes, aluminum-plastic pipes, PPR pipes, copper pipes and stainless steel pipes, which are common in the market. Teach you how to buy water pipes. Steps/Methods 1 Galvanized pipes: Galvanized pipes are mostly used in old houses, and now iron pipes for gas and heating are also galvanized pipes. After several years of use, a large amount of rust scale has been produced in the pipeline, and the yellow water flowing out not only pollutes the sanitary ware, but also is mixed with bacteria growing on the unsmooth inner wall. Corrosion leads to high content of heavy metals in water, which seriously harms human health. In 1960s and 1970s, developed countries began to develop new pipes and gradually banned galvanized pipes. China Ministry of Construction and other four ministries and commissions also issued a document explicitly prohibiting galvanized pipes from 2000. At present, galvanized pipes are rarely used for cold water pipes in newly-built residential areas, and galvanized pipes are used for hot water pipes in some residential areas. 2.UPVC pipe: actually, it is a plastic pipe, and the interface is generally glued. UPVC pipe has poor frost resistance and heat resistance, so it is difficult to be used as hot water pipe. Because their strength cannot meet the pressure requirements of water pipes, cold water pipes are rarely used. In most cases, PVC pipes are suitable for electric wires and sewage pipes. In addition, in recent years, the scientific and technological circles have found that phthalein, a chemical additive that can soften PVC, has a great influence on the kidneys, liver and testicles in the human body, which will lead to cancer and kidney damage, destroy the human functional reconstruction system and affect development. So I advise you not to buy it. 3. Aluminum-plastic pipe: Aluminum-plastic composite pipe is a popular pipe in the market. At present, Rifeng and Jinde are well-known in the market. Because of its light weight, durability and convenient construction, its flexibility is more suitable for home decoration. Its main disadvantage is that when it is used as a hot water pipe, long-term thermal expansion and cold contraction will cause dislocation of the pipe wall and leakage. Many residential areas in Beijing use aluminum plastic pipes. In Guangdong, Shanghai and other places where the decoration concept is relatively new, aluminum-plastic pipes have gradually lost their market. At present, aluminum-plastic pipes are still active in the Beijing market. I believe that in the near future, the aluminum-plastic pipes in Beijing market will also face elimination. 4.PPR pipe: As a new type of water pipe material, PPR pipe has unique advantages. It can be used as both a cold water pipe and a hot water pipe. It is becoming a popular material because of its non-toxicity, light weight, pressure resistance and corrosion resistance. PPR pipes are not only suitable for cold water pipes, but also for hot water pipes and even pure drinking water pipes. The interface of PPR pipe adopts hot melt technology, and the pipes are completely fused together, so once the installation and pressure test pass, the aging and water leakage phenomenon like aluminum-plastic pipe will not occur for a long time, and the PPR pipe will not scale. Honey. I won't introduce it here because of the time. The above pipes are common in home decoration, but the quality must be good. Generally, it can be used for about 5- 10 years, and it doesn't need to be replaced frequently in the later period. The water pipes need to be maintained frequently, and the service life will be longer! It doesn't matter if the price is expensive, personally. If you are free, I suggest you go to the specialty store. Shopping around is very important!
