The replacement of water pipes is usually encountered during the overhaul of an apartment or house. Naturally, for your home you want to choose only the best. In this case, it is necessary to take into account not only operational characteristics, but also the features of the installation process, since in some situations, you have to install the pipes yourself, without involving a professional plumbing. In addition, the piping system may need to be repaired in the future. It is not always possible and simple.
To begin with, it is worth evaluating the guaranteed service life of such products. If we are talking about home installation, twenty-five years will be able to serve iron pipes. Copper products are considered the most durable. They do not lose their characteristics for seventy years. Half a century, polypropylene and stainless steel products fulfill their functions. Polyethylene is designed for thirty years, metal-plastic - for twenty-five to thirty years.
Do not save on systems that perform vital functions. However, hardly anyone wants to overpay.
Practically any pipes can be used in the apartment water supply, their reliability will be enough. However, much further depends on which system they will be involved in. If we are talking about a boiler room, it is better to purchase the most durable and reliable copper products, which are the most expensive at the same time. Branded metal-plastic, copper and steel pipes - are quite suitable for heating. Polyethylene, polypropylene options are pipes for organizing water supply.
The most versatile are stainless and copper products. Their reliability can only be affected if installation technologies are compromised.
Even an ordinary person is unlikely to have methods with crimping installation methods. The only exception is steel pipe welding. But this will require additional tools, the cost of which is high enough for a one-time use. Projects using plastic pipes will cost less than with metal counterparts. Also, plastic is distinguished by the fact that deposits do not accumulate from inside the pipes, corrosion is not afraid of this material. The most affordable version of the water supply system is made of propylene pipes, since a cheap apparatus is required to solder them, buying fittings will also not be able to hit your pocket.
