The modern market offers a large selection of pipes of various manufacturers. The pipes made of polyvinyl chloride and polyethylene are very much in demand. What to choose?
If you need to create a pipeline in your apartment or house, then the question arises: which pipes to choose? And how the plastic pipes differ from metal -plastic? And which of them will suit you? First you need to determine which manufacturers of polyethylene pipes are best. You also need to decide on operating conditions: operating temperature and pressure. Then you should get acquainted with the features of the pipes you are interested in and the specifics of installation. The most common are plastic and metal -plastic pipes.
If we talk about metal -plastic pipes for the water supply, then they consist of several layers. The inner layer is made of aluminum foil, which on both sides is glued to a thick layer of plastic. This design feature combines the best sides of plastic and metal pipes. Such products are easily bending, so you can bypass all obstacles and do not use additional fittings. They withstand high temperatures and are great for heating and water supply. There is one feature of the installation of such a pipe: a piece of the product of the size you need is crimped on both sides and is connected using fittings. This type of connection is reliable and eliminates all kinds of leaks. But in this case, a special testing tool will be required. The price of fitting is very high. There is also one more feature: the water supply in this case is completely collapsible and it is very easy to mount. If you are interested in such products, then the company Plasttorgmonta offers metal -plastic pipes that remarkably tolerate pressure drops. But they have one drawback – this is their price.
The price of plastic pipes is relatively low. There are several types of them in total: polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride. The working parameters of the pipes change depending on the material. They are not suitable for use in the heating system. If you connect them to a water heater or column, you need to pay attention to the temperature of operation. Typically, water supply can be assembled by adhesion. The price of the rotary corners is low. When installing this type of pipes, certain skills are required and at the same time a special soldering iron is needed.
It should be said that in addition to the cost of the material, it is also necessary to take into account the cost of installing your pipeline. Collecting pipe from plastic is harder, which means it is more expensive. The installation of metal -plastic pipes is much cheaper.
