Galvanized Pipes & Tubes
has long been one of the most used building materials in the world. For
decades, designers, builders & consumers seeking long term structural
performance, in the tuff outdoor applications, have turned to zinc coated
steel pipes. Galvanized Pipes resist the attack of wild, water & road
salts.
Galvanized
Steel if the one, that’s been covered with a layer of zinc metal. During
galvanizing, steel is immersed in a molten zinc bath, ensuring a tough,
uniform barrier coating. Zinc’s natural corrosion resistance provides
long-term protection, even in outdoor environments.
Apart from preventing water corrosion, it is equally effective in dry &
indoor environments also.
Galvanized pipe
is steel pipe covered with a protective coating of zinc that greatly
reduces its tendency to corrode and extends its life expectancy.
It may be used in residential water supply lines, but not gas lines
because natural gas causes the zinc to flake off and clog the
system.
It's not frequently used for water supply lines because the minerals
in the water react with the galvanizing material and form scale,
which builds up over time and will eventually clog the pipe.
Galvanized pipe was commonly used for water supply lines many
years ago, but over time many have filled with scale, which is why
some older homes suffer from low water pressure. Hard water greatly
reduces the life of steel pipe.
While it can be used for all piping inside a building, its most
popular use today is for handrails or for replacement of existing
pipe. Copper pipe and plastic are preferred for underground
installation.
Fittings for this type of pipe are of galvanized malleable (soft)
cast iron. They connect by screwing onto the threaded pipe, after
applying a small amount of pipe joint compound on the threads.
Larger diameter pipe is welded rather than threaded. Galvanized pipe
is cut either with a heavy-duty tube cutter or cutoff saw, or by
hacksaw
It is sold in the same standard 21-foot lengths. Connectors and
fittings are screwed onto the pipe, after applying a small amount of
pipe joint compound onto the pipe threads. It is cut either with a
heavy-duty tube cutter or cutoff saw, or by hacksaw.
