Is copper pipe a water pipe

1. Choose the method of aluminum plastic composite pipe. Aluminum plastic composite pipe is a kind of pipe material which is more popular in the market. It is light, durable and convenient for construction, and its bendability is more suitable for use in home decoration. The main disadvantage is that when used as hot water pipe, the long-term thermal expansion and cold contraction may result in the misplacement of ferrule connection, resulting in leakage. Consumers should first pay attention to the appearance of the product when purchasing. The quality of the product is clearly marked on the wall of the product, such as the number and quality of the product on the wall of the product. But the inferior product general outer wall is rough, the mark is unclear or incomplete, the packing is simple, the address or the telephone number are not clear.

2. Choose PP-R pipe as a new type of water pipe material. PP-R pipe has unique advantages, such as non-toxic, light weight, pressure resistance, corrosion resistance, and is not easy to corrosion and rust. However, there are a large number of counterfeit products in the market. If you do not pay attention to identification, you may be cheated and buy back poor quality water pipes. Therefore, consumers can refer to the following identification methods when selecting: the product name of real PP-R pipe should be "PP pipe for hot and cold water" or "PP-R pipe for hot and cold water". Those with non regular names such as PP-R or PP-R cold water pipe, PP-R hot water pipe and pp-e pipe are all pseudo PP-R pipes. The density of pseudo PP-R tube is slightly higher than that of true PP-R tube. The true PP-R tube is white matt or other color matte, and the pseudo PP-R tube has bright luster or bright color. The true PP-R tube is completely opaque, while the pseudo PP-R tube is slightly or semi transparent. The handle of real PP-R tube is soft, and that of pseudo PP-R tube is smooth. The landing sound of real PP-R pipe is dull, while that of pseudo PP-R pipe is relatively clear.

3. Choose the method of copper pipe. Copper pipe has the advantages of corrosion resistance, antibacterial, etc., and is the first-class product in water pipe. But the disadvantage of copper tube is that it conducts heat quickly, so the hot water pipes produced by famous copper pipe manufacturers are covered with plastic and foaming agent to prevent heat emission. Consumers should choose thermal insulation copper water pipe when choosing, which can avoid copper pipe from freezing, blocking and exploding in cold winter season, and will not lose heat in hot water. Zui greatly reduces energy waste.
