Introduction
What Is Plumbing System
A home plumbing system comprises plumbing materials which includes a complex network of pumps, tanks, pipe & fittings, vents, taps, sanitary ware and fixtures among a plethora of other valves and apparatuses. This system in any building is responsible for moving around fluids for a wide range of uses. The common uses of plumbing include – delivering portable water, heating and cooling and waste removal. If this system is properly set in place then it will distribute and deliver the right amount of water to the water using appliances everywhere in the building. This includes a proper water supply to the bathroom and kitchen. The primary purposes of a plumbing system is to supply water for human use.
For this a large and densely complicated network of various pipes are set in place. Plastic pipes manufactured by Ajay pipes are an ideal and complete solution for any home or building plumbing.
Application Of Plumbing System
Plumbing products are widely used in domestic plumbing and commercial plumbing applications like water distribution systems for kitchen, wash area, bathrooms and toilets in residential and commercial complexes, offices, factories and laboratories etc. Plumbing can also be used for industrial application for transportation of chemicals and chemical drainage.
A house plumbing for water supply covers the following areas:
- Bathroom plumbing
- Toilet plumbing
- Kitchen plumbing
- Shower Plumbing
- Bathtub plumbing
- Basement plumbing
- Sink Plumbing
- Garden plumbing
The chief aim of a good plumbing work that Ajay pipes guarantees is divided into 3 parts:
- No damages to plumbing materials during transportation and handling
- Ease of installation and resistance to damages during plumbing work at sites
- Efficiently supply of water to the every plumbing fixture, efficient drainage andLong term maintenance free performance
Types of Pipes and fittings materials Used in plastic Plumbing
Plumbing is a complex system of pipes connected together. Here are the different types of plumbing pipes material:
UPVC Plumbing
UPVC stands for Unplasticised PVC and is also known as rigid PVC. UPVC pipes and fittings are most commonly used for cold water plumbing system.They are light and easy to handle. They offer high mechanical performance, durability for a longer time, resistance to chemicals , UV exposure, and are 100% recyclable.
PEX Plumbing
PEX pipes or Cross-linked polyethylene pipes is a plastic material used commonly for water supply piping systems. PEX pipes have successfully replaced copper, PVC and galvanized steel plumbing pipes since they offer several advantages. These pipes are flexible, offer high-heat resistance, durable and are easy to install.
PPR Plumbing
Made from polypropylene Random copolymer plastic, PPR pipes are straight and cylindrical pipes. They are produced through a continuous extrusion process. PPR can be used in hot and cold water as well as for purified drinking water systems.
PERT Plumbing
PERT pipes are polyethylene (PE) pipes designed to withstand raised temperatures (RT). These pipes are extremely flexible and are ideal for plumbing, water service, hydronic heating and cooling and ground source geothermal piping systems.
CPVC or Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride pipe is a thermoplastic polymer used for hot & cold water plumbing applications in residential, commercial and industrial buildings, They are produced as a result of chlorinating the PVC polymer. CPVC pipes are bendable and exhibit fire-retardant properties. Apart from being resistant to chemicals, CPVC is resistant to many acids, alcohols, hydrocarbons and bases. CPVC pipes are made in both CTS (Copper Pipe Size) and IPS (Iron Pipe Size) standards.
TYPES OF PLUMBING PIPES & FITTINGS BASED ON JOINTING SYSTEM
THREADED JOINT
It is the mechanical joint between threaded pipes or between a threaded pipe and threaded fitting.
SOLDERING
It is a joining process used to join together different types of metals by melting solder.
METAL HEAT WELDING
It is a fabrication process that joins metals or hermoplastics by using high heat to melt the parts together.
PLASTIC HEAT WELDING
It is the process of creating a molecular bond between two thermoplastics.
SOLVENT CEMENT
It is either available in the liquid or gel forms. They are used to join PVC pipes and other types of plastics. Solvent cement is very convenient to use.
RUBBER RING
In this technique, a fluid seal is provided by compressing a rubber ring housed in the socket of a pipe or fitting when the spigot is passed into the socket.
COMPRESSION
This technique is used to connect two pipes or a pipe and a fixture or valve.
Plumbing Problems
Some of the major plumbing problems include
- Leakage
- Rusting
- Breakage
- Joint failure
- Damage due to nailing
- Pipe bulging & Bursting
- Scaling
- Bad odors
- Inadequate water flow and pressure
- Frequent maintenance
