The times when the repair or replacement of the water supply system, heating system, sewer drain in the apartment "rested" on such a problem as finding a good welder with all the necessary equipment are in the distant past. Today:
- Inexpensive - it costs an order of magnitude cheaper than steel or cast iron counterparts.
- Practical - convenient for transportation, storage, does not require painting.
- Durable - 50 years warranty.
Modern plastic pipe allows you to implement the most complex design and finishing projects of residential premises with the transfer of communications to almost any place, without special material costs. Let's take a look at the most common ones.
PVC polyvinyl chloride
Pipes made of this material are considered the most common and demanded. Their main advantages include:
- Withstand temperature extremes.
- Sufficiently strong and flexible in bending.
- Do not collapse from dynamic shocks and small mechanical influences.
Pipes made of this material can be used to transport chemically active liquids (oil products, acids, soda-containing flushing mixtures). At the same time, they are non-toxic and approved for use in the food industry.
Polypropylene pipes
Perfect for hot water and heating installations. They withstand exposure to high temperatures up to 140 degrees C and are absolutely non-toxic. Polypropylene is an excellent insulator of electricity and therefore pipes made from it are widely used in various high-tech areas of industrial production.
The choice of plastic pipes for water supply and heating systems in modern living quarters is quite large. It is best to choose the best option taking into account the recommendations of the specialist who directly carries out the installation work.
