What is the best pipe for home heating?

In the floor heating and radiator system, the performance and role of the heat carrier "heating pipe" can not be ignored, what materials are good for heating pipe installation, the following follow the flagship of the flag of the Golden Brother to learn more about it.

Commonly used heating pipes are the following three categories:

①: metal heating pipes. For metal heating pipes are commonly used galvanized pipes. Like the pipe diameter is relatively large, is generally used to seamless pipe. However, it is essentially carbon structural steel made. It just has a lesser layer of galvanization than galvanized pipes. Like the metal pipes we see in the family, basically are galvanized pipe. The common diameters are dn20, dn25, dn32, dn40 and several other specifications.

②: plastic pipes. For plastic pipes, the common is PPR heating pipes. For example, the connecting pipes used for the radiators installed in our rooms are PPR pipes. In addition, there are PPR pipes in the form of coils, also known as coiled PPT, which exist in whole coils, so there are no joints in the middle. In addition to the plastic material of the pipeline is the floor heating, the more commonly used pert pipeline is also connected to pex pipeline. These pipes also exist in the form of coils. The pipe itself is a certain bending properties, but personally I do not think they belong to the hose.

③: aluminum-plastic composite pipe. For the aluminum-plastic composite pipe, generally commonly used in the transformation of the open heater. For example, many neighborhood heating renovation, the indoor installation of heaters are using aluminum-plastic composite pipe. Aluminum-plastic composite pipe is a composite pipe made of plastic and aluminum. This type of pipe has a certain bending performance. So it is still relatively easy to install. But personally I don't think it belongs to our traditional sense of hose either.

Which kind of hose can I choose when the heating is locally connected?

When we find that the home heating installation space is limited, or we temporarily want to install a set of heaters and other operations, this time we all want to find a hose to connect directly. Because the hose can be installed in a small space, ideal for heating remodeling as well as repair. Then this time if it is a temporary use, I personally recommend the following three kinds of heating hose selection suggestions. However, you must know that these are not regular heating pipes, and after a few years of use will also have certain problems. The details are as follows.

①: corrugated metal hose. For corrugated metal hose, we will often see in the home of the tap water system. For example, we want to wash basin above the installation of the corner valve, and the corner valve is basically connected to the corrugated metal piping, that is, metal hose. There are also metal hoses used in our water heaters and so on. Metal hose is made of braided metal material and plastic material inside. At this time when we choose, we must look at its working pressure and applicable objects, then we must choose the working pressure of 0.8MPa or more, applicable objects can be hot water.

②: rubber hose. For the rubber metal hose, we are common with our gas stove connected to the rubber hose. For this type of hose, its own pressure resistance is not particularly good, and the caliber is relatively small, so if we want to use for the connection of the heater, it is necessary to choose a rubber hose with the same caliber as the heater. In addition, the rubber hose alone to buy ah ability to reach more than 0.8MPa, and to meet the conditions of the internal can pass hot water, otherwise it is easy to aging and cracking over time.

③: plastic hose. Plastic hose is a common hose on the market, it can be used for water supply, drainage and other different types of pipe connections. And plastic hose diameter is very much, like from the common dn15 to dn50, a variety of specifications and sizes. When we choose plastic hose, the same need to pay attention to the problem is that the pressure resistance of plastic hose must meet the requirements of our indoor heater, while meeting the characteristics of long-term hot water through.
