Why Choose UPVC Plumbing Pipes Over Metal Pipes

upvc pipe fittings

When it comes to planning plumbing projects, the choice of piping solution plays an important role. You need to evaluate the various types of pipes. Earlier, metal pipes such as galvanised iron pipes and steel pipes were used. But as they are prone to corrosion, scaling and lead poisoning, they fell out of favour. Over the last few decades, UPVC pipes have emerged as a cost-effective and durable choice for many plumbing projects. Reliability, easy installation and corrosion resistance are some of the many advantages that UPVC pipes offer over metal pipes:

Over here we discuss features that make UPVC plumbing pipes a better choice than metal pipes:

1. UPVC pipes are resistant to corrosion: One of the major drawbacks of using metal pipes is that they deteriorate due to corrosion, which not only leads to leaks but also compromise the quality of water. Unlike metal piping systems, UPVC pipes do not corrode or rust over time as the compound does not react with air and water the way metal does. This results in the safe transportation of potable and significantly longer life of the pipe.

2. UPVC pipes are resistant to bacterial growth: Biological contamination presents a serious concern for many plumbing applications. They contaminate water, making them unfit for use. Our UPVC plumbing pipes and fittings are resistant to bacterial growth.

3. UPVC pipes are strong and durable: UPVC pipes have high tensile and impact strength which make them a long-lasting plumbing solution. Unlike metal pipes, they are flexible which makes them even ideal for tight areas.

4. Metal pipes are prone to leakage: As metal pipes corrode easily, they rust and break down, leading to leaks. Whereas UPVC pipes do not corrode, keeping chances of leakage to the minimum. Our UPVC pipes do not rust even in hard water. Joint fittings are attached and sealed with solvent cement, ensuring no leakage.

5. Metal pipes are toxic: Lead poisoning is one of the many safety concerns that make metal pipes the wrong choice of transporting drinking water. Lead not only causes health problems among people but results in extensive environmental contamination. Our UPVC pipes are made from environment-friendly, lead-free and non-toxic compound. This makes it safe for potable water distribution.

6. UPVC pipes are cost-effective in the long run: UPVC pipes are lightweight and are easier to work with. They are not as heavy as metal pipes and, thus, not as arduous to work with. They can be easily cut. The installation requires simple tools that are not very expensive. As UPVC pipes do not corrode, they do not require frequent maintenance. The overall labour costs and maintenance costs are low in comparison to metal pipes. They outlast metal pipes and thus are cost-effective alternatives. Our UPVC pipes are designed to last for over 50 years.

We offer a wide range of UPVC plumbing solutions that are ideal for cold water plumbing applications. Made from high-quality UPVC compound, our UPVC pipes are protected against corrosion and chemical deterioration. We also provide training and services for single-family homes, large residential buildings and commercial buildings.

Which Pipes Are Best For Underground Drainage?

uds pipe fittings

Underground drainage pipes play an important role in getting rid of human waste. Lack of proper drainage or use of poor quality underground drainage pipes can lead to a lot of troubles such as flooding, damage to property and last but not the least unhygienic conditions. Underground drain pipes are subjected to various types of chemical and physical attacks and therefore you must choose them carefully.

Here are some of the features of the best underground drainage pipes:

1. Resistance to corrosion and chemicals: Metal pipes deteriorate due to a corrosive soil environment. It is one of the reasons why PVC piping systems are the go-to choice for underground drainage. Our underground drainage pipes are corrosion resistant. There is no scaling or pitting, ensuring optimum flow. They also do not react with the chlorine and other chemicals present in the water.

2. Leak-free: A leak in the underground drainage pipe can cost you a lot in repairs. Always go for an underground drainage pipe that ensures leak-free performance. Made using novel foam core technology, our underground drainage pipes are designed for superior performance. The ringfit jointing system ensures leak-proof joints.

3. Flexible: Underground drainage pipes are often installed in tight spaces, therefore, look for a pipe that offers greater flexibility. Our underground drainage pipes are specially engineered to provide increased flexibility in piping runs. They are ideal for tight spaces. Our drainage underground pipes offer significant flexibility in comparison to generic pipes.

4. Long service life: An underground drainage pipe is a long-term investment and thus quality should not be compromised. A good drainage system should be highly robust and durable with high impact strength. Made of the compound imported from the United States, our underground drainage pipes are designed to deliver long-term results.

5. Fast and easy installation: When pipes are easy to install, they can result in significant cost savings. Our pipes are quite flexible that makes them easier to install, handle and bend. As they are flexible, they require fewer fittings. Moreover, our pipes are lightweight and, thus, easy to transport and install, making them cost-effective.

6. Anti-rodent: Drains offer the perfect environment for rodents. They gnaw at pipes leading to leakages which can damage your property. One sure way to prevent the rodents from eating away the pipes is to go for anti-rodent drainage pipes. Manufactured under constant quality control, our underground drainage pipes are tough enough that rodents cannot damage them.

7. Easy to transport and handle: When you are buying underground drainage pipes, different installation options are available for different types of commercial and domestic applications. As a leading name in the plumbing industry, our pipes and fittings are tested and can be implemented on all types of surfaces. Made of highly stable compounds, our lightweight pipes make transportation and installation very convenient.

8. Anti-microbial: A hygienically clean drainage system is essential. Therefore, our underground drainage pipes are anti-microbial — this means the bacteria cannot survive and thrive on the surface of the pipes. The anti-microbial characteristics of the pipes enhance their durability and reduce bad odour caused by bacteria.

If you are looking for long-lasting underground drainage pipes, we have the right solutions for all your needs. For the last 50 years, we, at Ajay Pipes, have been offering all kinds of underground/below-ground drainage solutions.
