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:
  • 1/2” ND 3/4” diameter
  • 10 ft. lengths

PE ( Polyethelyne)

• Uses:
  • Underground water service
• Size Availability:
  • 3/4 to 2” 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: ¼’’ to 8’’ 20 ft.
  • Coils: ¼’’ to 1’’ - 100 ft.

TYPE M (Red)

• USES:

• Domestic water
• Service and distribution
• Fire protection
• Solar
• Fuel/fuel oil
• Liquefied petroleum (LP) gas
• HVAC
• Snow melting
• Size Availability:
• Straight lengths: ¼’’ to 12’’- 20 ft
• No coils

DMV (Yellow)

• Uses:
  • Drain
  • Waste
  • Vent
  • Solar
  • HVAC
• Size Availability:
  • Straight lengths: 1¼’’ to 8’’- 20 ft.
  • No coils
