Identifying and Selecting Plumbing

Materials and Fittings

TYPES OF MATERIALS

  • PLASTIC
  • COPPER TUBING
  • MALLEABLE IRON PIPE
  • CASTE IRON SOIL PIPE
  • VITRIFIED CLAY PIPE

TYPES OF PLASTIC

  • ABS ( Acrylonitrite-Butediene-Styrene)
  • PVC ( Polyvinyl Chloride )
  • CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride)
  • PE (Polyethelyne)
  • PB (Poybutylene)

ABS (Acrylonitrite-Butediene-Styrene)

  • Uses:
    • Sanitary Drainage
    • Vent Piping
    • Storm Water Drainage
  • Size Availability:
    • 11/4- 6 inch diameter
    • 10 ft or 20 ft. lengths

CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride)

  • Uses:
    • Cold and hot water lines
    • High temperature and pressure lines
  • Size Availability:
    • 1/2โ€ ND 3/4โ€ diameter
    • 10 ft. lengths

PE ( Polyethelyne)

  • Uses:
    • Underground water service
  • Size Availability:
    • 3/4 to 2โ€ diameter
    • 100 ft. coils

TYPES OF COPPER PIPE

  • K (Green)
  • L (Blue)
  • M (Red)
  • DWV (Yellow)
  • Types K, L, M, DWV and Medical Gas tube are designated by ASTM standard sizes. Each type represents a series of sizes with different wall thicknesses. Type K tube has thicker walls than Type L tube, and Type L walls are thicker than Type M, for any given diameter. All inside diameters depend on tube size and wall thickness
  • Copper Pipe - Used to carry water to fixtures and appliances. Use Type M for most residential work. Type L is required if the pipe is buried

TYPE K (GREEN)

  • Uses:
    • Domestic water
    • Service and distribution
    • Fire protection
    • Solar
    • Fuel/fuel oil
    • HVAC
  • Available Sizes:
    • Straight lengths: ยผโ€™โ€™ to 8โ€™โ€™ 20 ft.
    • Coils: ยผโ€™โ€™ to 1โ€™โ€™ - 100 ft.

TYPE M (Red)

โ€ข USES:

  • Domestic water
  • Service and distribution
  • Fire protection
  • Solar
  • Fuel/fuel oil
  • Liquefied petroleum (LP) gas
  • HVAC
  • Snow melting
  • Size Availability:
  • Straight lengths: ยผโ€™โ€™ to 12โ€™โ€™- 20 ft
  • No coils

DMV (Yellow)

  • Uses:
    • Drain
    • Waste
    • Vent
    • Solar
    • HVAC
  • Size Availability:
    • Straight lengths: 1ยผโ€™โ€™ to 8โ€™โ€™- 20 ft.
    • No coils
