Piping is traditionally made from metallic materials such as copper and lead, but plastic pipes are also used for certain applications. The choice of pipe material will depend on factors such as pressure rating and chemical compatibility. The following are several types of pipes materials. CPVC/PVC pipe is primarily used to transport water in a plumbing system. It is often used for the supply of hot and cold potable water. ABS/SAN pipe or Co-polymer plastic pipes are also used to transport drinking water, but it is not as durable compared to PVC and CPVC pipe because it has a shorter lifespan. Galvanized steel pipe, this material is also known as black iron. It is still in use, but it has been replaced by PVC and CPVC pipes due to its higher cost opposing threaded joints are used for the creation of a piping system in plumbing. They connect two components together while allowing them to rotate freely in relation to each other. Pipe fittings are used to connect pipes to other components of the plumbing system. Some pipe fittings include elbows, tees, and reducers. A fitting is used in conjunction with a pipe for allowing it to rotate freely in relation to another component or fixture. A hose bib (or faucet) is a device that dispenses water. It can be used for drinking or to wash clothes. Different materials have different costs, which is something else to take into account. You might want to save a few dollars right now by choosing the cheapest material available, only to spend more lately when you have paid for repairs. For example, copper is one of the most expensive materials, but it also lasts longer than other metals. If your home is already set up with copper pipes, you might want to avoid replacing them for costs alone.
