Plumbing Pipes & Sizes Used In Homes

September 30, 2021|General Plumbing

  

When repairing or replacing your home plumbing, it’s important to make a thorough and well-informed decision. After all, the integrity of your plumbing pipes can have a direct impact on the quality of your life. Currently, there are various types of residential plumbing pipes available on the market. Some of these are made from traditional materials like copper, whereas others are manufactured from engineered materials like galvanized steel. Each type has its advantages and limitations. 

The following blog takes a closer look at the main types of plumbing pipes and how their uses vary.


Copper Pipes

Copper pipes are one of the oldest materials used for residential water lines. 


They come in two different forms: rigid and flexible.

  • Rigid copper pipes are a popular option for the plumbing of the whole house as they have astonishing durability. The average lifespan of a hard copper pipe is over 50 years. Moreover, these pipes are not susceptible to corrosion and leakages.
  • While flexible copper pipes offer the same advantages as their rigid counterparts, they are mostly used for connecting water lines in tight spaces like corners and under kitchen sinks. 

The size or width of copper pipes can range from 15mm to 108mm or more. At times, they are also labeled by thickness.


Type DWV 

These are the thinnest form of copper pipes that are used for DWV plumbing, such as drain, waste, and vent. They are commonly found in older residential homes. However, they are still used extensively in commercial settings today.


Type M 

Type M copper pipe is the thinnest and most economical of the standard copper pipe types, K, L, and M. It's commonly used for residential plumbing applications like water supply lines, particularly for branches or where pressure isn't high. While cheaper and lighter than Type K or L, it's not as durable and may not be suitable for all situations, especially underground or where pressure is high. 


Type L 

Type L copper pipe is a common, medium-wall thickness copper pipe suitable for many residential plumbing applications, particularly for water supply lines, both indoors and outdoors. It's more durable than Type M but less heavy than Type K, making it a versatile choice for various plumbing needs. 


Type K 

Type K copper pipe is the thickest and most durable of the common copper pipe types. It's known for its heavy wall thickness and is often used in applications requiring high pressure and resistance to damage, such as underground water mains and commercial plumbing systems. 


In addition to their longevity, copper pipes also offer the benefit of safety for potable water lines. This is because bacteria cannot grow in this material, nor does the metal leach any chemical into the water. This, in turn, ensures the water is safe to drink at all times.


Plastic Pipes And Black Iron Pipe

Plastic pipes have become a standard in residential plumbing because they are relatively cheap, easy to install, and inherently resistant to corrosion. There are various types of plastic pipes to choose from for your home water lines. Some of the main varieties include:


ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) Pipes

ABS pipes are commonly used in residential plumbing for drain, waste and venting in new homes today. These pipes are non-toxic and resistant to abrasion, making them the perfect choice. You can also use these in sewer systems and for electrical cable insulation. The sizes vary from 1¼ inches to 6 inches. 


PVC Pipes

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) pipes initially gained popularity as a lighter and more inexpensive alternative to cast iron and copper plumbing pipes. PVC pipes of different lengths can be easily glued together with a solvent. 


However, DIY repairs with PVC are not recommended as the pipes require careful fitting and testing after installation. The size of PVC pipes ranges from half an inch to 8 inches in diameter and is usually marked on the side. PVC pipes are suitable for main water lines as they can handle high water pressure, but they are not a good choice for bathroom waterline plumbing as the plastic tends to warp when transporting hot water.


CPVC Pipes 

Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride or CPVC pipes were developed to maximize the utility of PVC pipes. In other words, CPVC overcomes the temperature sensitivity of PVC. Therefore, you can use CPVC for hot water lines in bathrooms and kitchens. However, make sure to check your local building codes first. The size graduations of CPVC are the same as that of copper pipes. 


Black Iron Pipe 

Black iron pipes are commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial gas lines today. The purpose of a black iron pipe is to help transfer natural and propane gas. This is a seamless pipe that allows optimum gas transportation and fire sprinkler systems that can ensure that a fire does not break out. It does the job better than a galvanized pipe. 


Pex Pipe 

The cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) pipe is currently used as an industry-standard in residential waterline systems. It can be white, red or blue. It is commonly used above ground but can also be used underground. Pex pipes are flexible and heat resistant. Moreover, they are known to be extremely durable. 


Galvanized Steel Pipe And Cast-Iron Piping

Galvanized steel pipe and cast are generally not used for residential plumbing anymore. However, they were a popular choice in the 1980s. If your house was constructed during that time, you must have a professional plumber inspect your water lines immediately. This is because these plumbing pipes have an average lifespan of 30 to 40 years. 


While this may seem quite long, you will realize it isn’t the case when you compare it to alternatives like copper pipes which last for at least 50 years. Galvanized steel pipes are also prone to lead contamination and mineral build-up. Therefore, the water can become unsafe to drink. Similarly, homeowners with this type of piping are also more likely to experience clogs and leakages. 


Cast-iron piping is formed with gray cast iron. In the past, it was used as a pressure pipe to ensure the smooth traveling of water, gas, and sewage. Galvanized and cast iron are still used commonly in commercial and industrial settings today.


Poly B Plumbing

Poly-B (polybutylene) piping was once a popular choice for home plumbing due to its low cost, flexibility, and ease of installation. However, over time, it became clear that Poly-B pipes were prone to significant problems.


The main issue with Poly-B piping is its susceptibility to degradation when exposed to chlorine and other chemicals in water, causing the pipes to become brittle, crack, and burst. This led to numerous leaks and water damage in homes, which contributed to the widespread decline of Poly-B use.

Additionally, the fittings and connections of Poly-B pipes were often the first to fail, further increasing the risk of costly repairs. After several class-action lawsuits, Poly-B piping was largely replaced by more durable alternatives like PEX and CPVC, which offer greater reliability and resistance to degradation.

If your home still has Poly-B piping, our expert plumbers can assess your system and help with replacement options to avoid future water damage and plumbing issues. You can learn more about Poly-B piping here, or contact us today to schedule an inspection!
