The best types of plumbing pipes depend on several factors such as quality, durability, corrosion resistance, and their specific applications. Here are some common types:
PVC Pipes (Polyvinyl Chloride):
Lightweight, easy to install, and corrosion-resistant.
Primarily used for cold water systems and drainage.
PPR Pipes (Polypropylene):
Strong, durable, and highly resistant to heat and pressure.
Suitable for both hot and cold water systems.
Copper Pipes:
One of the older types used in plumbing.
Can withstand high temperatures and resist corrosion well, but are more expensive.
Galvanized Steel Pipes:
Resistant to rust and have a long lifespan.
Used in cold water systems and drainage, though they can corrode over time.
Cast Iron Pipes:
Extremely strong and capable of handling high pressures, often used in sewer and drainage systems.
Each type has its advantages depending on the usage and location where the pipes are installed.
