Copper plumbing pipes
Appearing on the building materials market in the 80s of last century, composite tubes and immediately won popularity among professional and amateur. Until that time, the real problem was the installation of plumbing and its connection to the water supply, and installation of internal heating network. Steel pipes have a relatively short period of operation, corrosion, due to their capacity passage, constantly decreasing, and the installation of required welding and special skills. More promising in terms of performance polymer tube is almost solved all the problems of steel pipes, but there was one problem – the coefficient of linear expansion. In polypropylene and polyethylene, he is big enough to use the tube of the PEX polymer in hot water and heating systems. The real breakthrough was the technology of combining metal and plastic in the manufacture of pipes. Copper plumbing pipes have adopted all the advantages of both metal and plastic pipes: they are not subject to corrosion, have a long life, do not require sophisticated equipment and skills to install in a residential area, bending (which is very handy when installing), to the inner layer is stable clogging and sticking of solid particles. Yes, and at a rate of linear expansion of metal tubes are much superior to conventional plastics (they have it five times lower). All these advantages were immediately evaluated and composite tubes used successfully in the repair of houses, as well as finishing the new building projects. According to market demand, as is known, gives rise to the proposal, and very soon the market was filled up with products of different manufacturers. And the price of composite tubes were significantly different, which, as often happens, due to savings on quality. Naturally, lower prices for metal and plastic pipes, imported from Asia, the sellers account for a lower cost due to low labor costs in these regions. But in fact the result of low prices becomes risks increase as savings. Here and cheap low-quality raw materials and low-efficiency equipment, and violation of technology due to lack of qualified vendors, etc. All this may in the near future impact on the operation and lead to accidents. This means that, saving on quality, soon will have to pay for unplanned repairs or replacement of pipes. How do you choose from the variety of Copper plumbing pipes of high quality? What are the characteristics and properties of Copper plumbing pipes should be to ensure the reliability, durability and safety? These questions are important and relevant, and require detailed analysis.
The Canadian quality of the various products has long been known throughout the world. No other than steel or composite tubes manufactured in Italy, which are well proven itself in the USA market, showing high performance. Use in the production of extremely high quality PEX materials and aluminum foil, the use of modern equipment, work with the latest technology – thanks to these factors, composite tubes manufactured in Italy to meet the high European quality standards. The outer and inner layer of the molecular cross-linked polyethylene, between which a double-sided adhesive joint is a thin layer of aluminum, making composite tubes capable of withstanding the operating pressure of the internal environment of up to 10 bar, have a high resistance to temperature, chemical environments in operation for more than 50 years. High-tech way of connecting an aluminum foil “butt” at the same time provides a pipe flexibility and ability to commit to the required shape, as well as increasing the durability of the product in contrast to the inefficient and therefore a cheaper way to “lap” around 15%. An important point in the production are the two adhesive layers, which are firmly linked polyethylene aluminum, preventing their lamination due to regular fluctuations in temperature. All this can be successfully used composite tubes manufactured in Italy in the cold and hot water supply, furnishing heated floors in bathrooms and living areas, for heating at different coolants, for greenhouses and greenhouse plants, as the heat exchanger piping, and connecting different home appliances (washing machines, dishwashers, water heaters, boilers), plumbing (faucets, bathtubs and shower stalls, toilets, etc.) and other elements. PEX plumbing pipes and convenient for transportation: the production of finished metal and plastic pipes are wound on reels in a special bay and thus transported from producer to retailer.
