Different Types of Plumbing Pipes Used in Home
Traditionally, copper and metal pipes were the standard for plumbing pipes & fittings. However, they were heavy, which made installation challenging, and they were prone to rust and degradation over time. With advancements in technology, non-metal pipes like PVC, PEX, and CPVC pipes have gained popularity due to their lightweight design, durability, and wide range of practical benefits.
PEX Pipes
Cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) plumbing pipes & fittings are among the most popular and affordable solutions for homes. Their unique blend of rigidity and flexibility makes them ideal for installation in basements, walls, and ceilings. Durable enough to withstand high water pressure and extreme temperatures, PEX pipes are easy to work with which makes them a popular choice.
PVC Pipes
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic pipe fittings are lightweight, cost-effective, and primarily used for waste disposal systems. They are rust and corrosion-resistant, preventing sediment buildup and ensuring long-term performance. Easy to cut and install with glue, PVC pipes are a practical choice for sinks, toilets, and shower drains.
CPVC Pipes
CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) pipes are high-performance plastic pipe fittings designed to withstand high temperatures and pressure. Widely used in hot water distribution, they are known for their durability, corrosion resistance, and long service life. It is what makes them ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing applications.
UPVC Pipes
uPVC (Unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride) pipes are rigid, durable, and safe for potable water transport. They are inert, ensuring no taste, odour, or harmful substances affect water quality. Ideal for water supply, sewage and drainagesystems, uPVC pipes are suitable for both underground and above-ground installations due to their strength and chemical resistance.
ABS Pipes
Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plumbing pipes & fittings are durable, black-coloured pipes mainly used for vent and drain pipelines. They are cost-effective and can endure cold temperatures but are sensitive to UV exposure, which can degrade their quality over time.
