Common Issues with Distribution Piping and How to Address Them
Monday, September 2nd, 2024What is Distribution Piping and How Does it Work?
Monday, May 13th, 2024Water distribution piping refers to the network of pipes and fittings used to transport water from its source, such as a treatment plant or well, to various points of use within a building, facility, or community. This system is crucial for delivering potable water for drinking, cooking, bathing, and other purposes, as well as for industrial processes, heating, and cooling.
Water distribution piping systems typically consist of pipes made from materials like copper, PVC (polyvinyl chloride), PEX (cross-linked polyethylene), or steel, along with various fittings, valves, and connectors. These pipes are laid out in a network of interconnected lines, often buried underground or concealed within walls, floors, or ceilings.
