- PVC - Is a plastic pipe. The typical use for standard PVC pipe has to do with drain, waste and venting systems, however it can be used to move supply water. Many irrigation systems utilize PVC piping.
- CPVC - Is also a Plastic Pipe, however it’s been modified to be acceptable for fire rated applications which are common with commercial construction. CPVC is built to have the same outside diameter as copper which makes it a good substitute for copper with regards to installation of common valves and fixtures.
- PEX - PEX stands for cross-linked polyethylene. It is a type of plastic tubing made from high-density polyethylene. It is used for radiant floor heat tubing and for water supply. PEX has a lot of advantages over copper piping, such as: it is far less expensive as a raw material and much more durable over time.
- Copper - Copper pipes are commonly used in the construction industry for water supply lines, gas and refrigerant lines in HVAC (heating, cooling, and air conditioning) systems. Copper pipes can be manufactured as soft or rigid copper and offer excellent corrosion-resistance and reliable connections.
