What Type Of Pipes Is Used For Plumbing?

Why is the selection of pipes a key decision for construction projects?

In the design of building water supply and drainage system, “what type of pipes are used for plumbing” is the core question that every engineer and purchaser must face. As an industry leader with more than 10 years of plumbing manufacturing experience, we have found that:

65% of pipe system failures result from poor material selection

30% of maintenance costs can be saved by optimizing pipe configuration

The new composite pipe market is growing at 12% annually

Here we will delve into the characteristics of 3 main pipes – PVC Pipes,Cooper Pipes & PEX Pipes and share industry-leading selection solutions.

Depth comparison of 5 mainstream pipes (with performance parameters)

1. PVC Pipe – The king of cost performance

Material characteristics: PVC + stabilizer

Pressure range: 0.6-1.6MPa

Temperature tolerance: -5℃ to 60℃

Advantage scenario:

Cold water supply system

Drainage/sewer lines

Chemical liquids delivery

Shopping tip: Check ASTM D1784 standard, pay attention to the wall thickness and pressure level match

Our advantages: The use of German KraussMaffei production line, wall thickness tolerance control within ±0.1mm, through NSF/ANSI 61 certification.

2. Copper Pipe – High-end durable choice

Service life: more than 50 years (according to the American Copper Development Association)

Antibacterial properties: natural antibacterial rate >99.9%

Installation points:

Requires professional welding technology

Phosphorus-deoxidized copper pipe (C12200) is recommended

Cost analysis: Material cost is 40% higher than PEX, but maintenance cost is 60% lower

3. PEX Pipes – New trend of flexible installation

Revolutionary breakthrough:

Temperature range: -70℃ to 110℃

Memory rebound features reduce joint use

Three types for comparison: 

Our innovation: The development of PEX-AL-PEX composite pipe, bursting pressure up to 8.5MPa, suitable for high-rise buildings.

Selection & Decision

Recommended scheme according to the application scenario:

Residential water supply: PPR+PEX combination solution

Branch pipe: DN16 PEX pipe (flexible mounting)

Commercial building: copper pipe + stainless steel composite system

Water supply system: C12200 copper pipe

Fire system: 304 stainless steel pipe

Industrial pipe system: customized according to the characteristics of the medium

Chemical transmission: PVC-U+ fiberglass reinforced

High temperature steam: Seamless steel pipe + ceramic coating
