Different Types of Home Plumbing Pipes

1. EZ PLUMBING USA DIFFERENT TYPES OF HOME PLUMBING PIPES

2. PEX PIPE • PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) is a durable plastic piping that's used to supply water. It is rigid enough to withstand the pressures of water supply but flexible enough to weave throughout walls, ceilings, basements, and crawlspaces • Best for: Water supply lines

3. PVC PIPE • PVC (polyvinyl chloride) pipe is a white plastic pipe material that's commonly used for waste lines. It initially gained popularity because it was lighter and easier to work with than traditional galvanized steel pipe. It's also inexpensive and fairly durable. • Best for: Drain and vent lines

4. RIGID COPPER PIPE • Copper pipes are primarily pure copper as evidenced by their shiny reddish-brown appearance. Rigid copper is often used for water supply lines within the home. It is valued because it does not come with health risks unlike other pipe materials, such as plastics, that can leach chemicals.1 • Best for: Water supply lines SOURCE : HTTPS://BIT.LY/3DARZPA

5. ABS PIPE • ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) pipe is made of a thermoplastic resin and looks very much like PVC pipe except it is black and slightly softer. It's mainly used as a vent and drain line. • Best for: Drain and vent lines

6. FLEXI PIPE • Flexible pipe, often called flexi for short, is flexible tubing typically made of stainless steel. It's commonly used for final piping connections to appliances, such as water heaters, toilets, and sinks. It's generally not permitted for use inside walls or floors. • Best for: Connections

7. GALVANIZED STEEL PIPE AND CAST IRON • Galvanized steel is rigid, corrosion-resistant steel piping that was used for decades for drainage, water supply, gas supply, and several other purposes. While galvanized steel pipe is still around (particularly for gas supply), it is far less common and not used for water supply in new construction or remodel projects • Best for: Water supply lines, drain and vent lines
