Metal-plastic pipes for hot water

Your choice: plastic pipes for hot water

How is this expedient?

1. Metal products have not been considered an effective material for a long time and morally obsolete.
2. Corrosion susceptibility and service life not more than 20 years.
3. At installation welding devices are used, which change not in the best side structural components of metal. Each joint becomes a risk of leakage.
4. On the internal walls of communications, deposits may appear due to flow resistance in the pipe.
5. Heat loss. The material is heated and conducts heat.
6. Additional repairs. Pipes paint and oil.
7. Installation is expensive.

Advantages of metal-plastic pipes:

1. Affordable price and long service life.
2. Easy to install and no additional hardware. You can install it yourself.
3. The operation of the devices is extremely high. They do not rust and according to estimates of scientists-inventors should serve up to 100 years.
4. Heat loss is much reduced, because the inherent minimum heat conductivity is inherent.
5. Fittings and couplings will quickly assemble the structure.
6. Hot water can reach 95 ° C, and pressure up to 10 Mpa
7. Have literally a tiny weight and noise insulation from water.
8. Communications do not work with stray currents.
9. Working with metal-plastic pipes does not require any special additional devices for mounting
10. Pipes are endowed with excellent appearance, which allows you to permanently get rid of the need for painting.

As a way to create heat conductive and heating communications - this choice of material is the best, mainly through the use of compression fittings that provide strength and stability.

Like steel products, the most dangerous connection points are joints and hidden communications, so for them and safe use it is worthwhile to use press fittings mounted by press jaws.

Polypropylene is the market leader in the use and use of

. Metal-plastic hot water pipes are the most commonly used material for water supply systems today. This depends, first of all, on how long the material can serve and under what conditions. For the note: polypropylene normally operates at a temperature of 95 ° C and is able to withstand even 120 ° C but only for a short time.

Of the bad: the coefficient of thermal increase. That is, if you mount pipes without following the instructions, some deformations may occur, but they can be avoided if the pipes are reinforced.

Pipes are inexpensive and provide extreme reliability. Moreover, welding can occur at a low temperature, which means that even a beginner in the installation will cope with this.

Cross-linked polyethylene for pipelines

Cross-linked polyethylene is not very common material to date, but its qualities are several times higher than those of its previous mentor. These new features make it possible to become a communication element for hot liquids.

Longevity of joints, as already mentioned earlier, correlates to approximately 100 years. The material is flexible and easy to assemble even in the most sophisticated circuits.

Manufacturers for this type of pipes produce their considerable length, which avoids a large number of joints that could disrupt the reliability of the system.

Of the shortcomings of the system: the material is expensive.

The importance of pipe diameter

To properly install metal-plastic pipes for hot water, a professional always pays attention to the choice of the diameter of communications, so you should also choose the diameter for the system. It is selected based on several parameters.

1. Water consumption.
2. The length of communications.
3. Surface resistance of pipes.

So as not to be mistaken in the calculations, it is worth to devote this matter to specialists.

But nevertheless, if it's necessary to make wiring inside the apartment, you need to use 0.5 inches diameter, for hot water pipe - ¾ inch, and if a large water flow, then you can and 1 inch diameter.

For different conditions and rooms, a variety of pipes are selected. With this there are no problems, but it's worth being afraid of high temperatures and possible melting of the material. Fortunately, that the classical water supply systems do not reach those temperatures, when the material can be deformed. You will be provided with operation for many years!
