Some Information about Plumbing and Plumbing tools

Piping materials used in plumbing: At one time, lead pipes were used for water supply distribution. Then, the standard became galvanized steel piping and then, copper piping. Today, many domestic water systems use either CPVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride) polyethylene or copper. Copper is considered superior to plastic piping because of its durability, rigidity, and repairability. However, copper can become subject to corrosion pitting arising from elevated levels of chlorine which can be found in many rural private water systems. In those cases, plastic piping is preferred. Plastic piping is much easier for homeowners to install and repair without the assistance of a plumber. Copper water piping should never be used for an electrical service ground. Electrical systems should have their own independent ground. Doing so prevents galvanic corrosion of the copper water piping and, often the domestic water service line entering the house underground may be plastic, which will not function as a proper ground.

Some Plumbing DOs and DON'Ts

DO - If you can't put heat in an area where water pipes are, use an electric heat tape.

DO - If your kitchen sink is located on an outside wall, leave cupboard doors open in severe cold weather.

DO - Shut off all outside faucets in cold weather if they are not of the frost proof type.

DO - If you are closing up a home in the wintertime and there will be no heat in the home, shut off the water supply at the street or in the basement.
