What are the materials of the downspout downspout how to maintain

We all know that the downpipe is an important building material for our home improvement, so do you know what materials are available on the market downpipe? And how to maintain the downpipe? Now I will explain to you.

One, what are the materials of the sewer pipe

1, aluminum composite pipe

Aluminum composite pipe is a popular pipe on the market, its lightweight, durable and easy to construct, its bendability is more suitable for use in home improvement. The main drawback is that when used as a hot water pipe, due to long-term thermal expansion and contraction may cause the ferrule connection misalignment resulting in leakage. Currently on the market in the sale of aluminum-plastic composite tube varieties, quality, price varies greatly.

2, copper piping

The use of this material is a big deal, because the cost of the above must be much higher, generally only use a small section, of course, there are special circumstances must be used in this material, but here or do not recommend that you choose copper piping.

3, PE pipe

As a new type of plumbing material, it can be used as both cold pipe and hot water pipe, because of its non-toxic, lightweight, pressure resistance, corrosion resistance, is becoming a promotion of the material. It is also suitable for hot water pipes, and even pure drinking water pipes. PE pipe's interface adopts heat fusion technology, and the pipes are completely fused together, so once the installation pressure test is passed, it will not be like aluminum-plastic pipe that exists for a long time aging and leaking phenomenon, and PE pipe will not be scaled.

Two, how to maintain the sewer pipe

1, kitchen sink drain is easy to clog, to prevent oil clogging, often put hot water plus laundry detergent poured into the drain, and then put a pool full of water flushed down, it will not be easy to clog,
