Piping

What Is This About?

Rigid copper pipe and flexible copper tubing are not inexpensive but the quality and application of the products may be worth the price to a homeowner. Both products can be used for hot and cold water supply, drain waste and vent systems and for heating and ocoling applications. With adaptors the pipes can be connected to existing copper plastic and galvanized steel pipe runs.

Copper when compared to galvanized steel pipe is lightweight, readily available, easy to fabricate, strong, noncorrosive and resistant to very high temperatures. If you have hot water (hydronic heating you can make repairs with copper pipe.

Steel pipe has been used in more homes than any other kind of pipe and unless your home is brand new it is very likely there will be threaded steel galvanized pipe somewhere in the water supply/drainage system.

Repairs to a steel pipe system or adding into the system with steel pipe require specific tools and require more skill than working with copper and lastic piping, yet it is still within skill-reach of most DIY'ers

Plastic pipe is a DIY'er dream product. It's lightweight. It's easy to assemble with basic tools, it will last 100 years and probably more without replacment. It won't rust or corrode and it is fairly inexpensive to buy compared with it copper and galvanized steel pipe cousins.

In this guide you will learn the applications and uses of the three different piping materials use in the trade; copper piping, steal piping and plastic piping.
