Aluminum-plastic pipe
Aluminum and plastic composite pipe is a popular material on the market. It’s durable and light in weight. More important, the excellent bend property makes the construction very easy. Thus it’s an ideal pipe for household decoration. However, it’s not suitable for hot water. Because the long-term expansion and contraction will cause the wall mismatch, then cause leakage.
Galvanized pipe
According to the investigate, the old houses adopt such pipe. Besides, the heating pipe and fuel gas pipe are also galvanize pipe. As water pipe, there will be lots of scale inside it after several years’ use. The terrible yellow water will not only cause pollution, but also cause germs breed in the inner tube. Besides, the rust will cause the heavy metal exceed the standard, then hazard human’s health seriously.
UPVC pipe
Actually, it’s a kind of plastic pipe. While the connection point adopts glue. UPVC has poor cold and heat resistance, thus it’s not suitable for hot water pipe. Because the strength can’t meet the pressure requirement, it’s also seldom used for cold water. On the most occasions, UPVC pipe is suitable for wire conduit and waste discharge.
