Guidance for Selection of Pipe for House Sanitary Wiring, PPRC VS GI Pipes
Sanitary work have top priority over everything. If all works are poor, you can live in house, but if sanitary work is poor then house commercial price will decrease by 40% straightly. Poor sanitary work can destroy structure completely in couple of months due to leakages in walls, leakages under the floor.
Always award sanitary work to good/ reputed team in the market. Never be trapped with extremely low rates or low rates.
USE ONLY AND ONLY PPRC PIPES AND FITTINGS, NEVER GO FOR IRON PIPES.
Old sanitary guys will convince you for using GI Pipes but ignore them immediately.
Reasons of Not Using the GI Pipes
-Made of non pure alloy/metal
-Extremely un-hygenic due w.r.t drinking, water used in kitchens and even shower
-Extra salt deposition in line ultimately chocks your fittings
-In case of repair you usually need to replace full length of pipe
-Porn to contamination and bacterial growth very very easily
-Very high corrosion rates, maximum life is between 8-12 years.
-Poor fluid flow due to non-smooth surface
-Pressure drop due to corrosion
-Algae and Fungus growth
-More leakages chances as joints are poorly threaded
