Plumbing Material Name List - Summary

Plumbing is a system that transports liquids for a variety of applications such as waste removal, heating and cooling, and portable pipe delivery. Plumbing has used for plumbing fixtures, tanks, pipe valves, etc.

Plumbing Material Name List

Material	Description
Copper Pipes	Durable, corrosion-resistant, suitable for hot and cold water supply lines.
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)	Lightweight, cost-effective, used for drain, waste, and vent (DWV) systems, and cold water supply lines.
PEX (Cross-linked Polyethylene)	Flexible, resistant to scale buildup and freezing, used for hot and cold water supply lines.
CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride)	Similar to PVC but designed for hot water applications.
Soldered/Brazed Fittings	Joined using solder or brazing, commonly used with copper pipes.
Compression Fittings	Join pipes and fittings without soldering, using compression nuts and rings.
Push-fit Fittings	Easy installation without tools, simply push the pipe into the fitting.
Gate Valves	Control flow by lifting or lowering a gate or wedge.
Ball Valves	Use a rotating ball with a hole to control flow, durable and reliable shut-off.
Check Valves	Allow fluid flow in one direction only, preventing backflow.
Sinks, Faucets, Toilets	Common fixtures found in plumbing systems for residential and commercial use.
Showerheads, Bathtubs	Essential for bathroom plumbing systems.
Water Heaters	Various types such as tankless, electric, and gas, used for heating water.
Thread Seal Tape	Create a watertight seal on threaded pipe connections.
Pipe Dope	Applied to pipe threads to enhance the seal and prevent leaks.
Pipe Joint Compound	Similar to pipe dope, used to seal threaded pipe connections.
Pipe Insulation	Protects pipes from freezing and prevents condensation buildup.
Hangers and Supports	Secure and support pipes to prevent sagging or movement.
Pipe Cleaners and Solvents	Used for cleaning and preparing pipe surfaces before installation.

Common Plumbing Materials:

Pipes:
- Copper: Known for its durability, corrosion resistance, and ability to handle high pressures. It’s commonly used for both hot and cold water supply lines.
- PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): Lightweight, cost-effective, and easy to install. PVC pipes are commonly used for drain, waste, and vent (DWV) systems as well as for cold water supply lines.
- PEX (Cross-linked Polyethylene): Flexible and resistant to scale buildup and freezing. PEX pipes are often used for both hot and cold water supply lines, especially in residential applications.
- CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride): Similar to PVC but designed for hot water applications. CPVC pipes are commonly used for hot water supply lines.
Fittings:
- Soldered or brazed fittings: Typically used with copper pipes for water supply lines. Requires heating and melting of solder to create a joint.
- Compression fittings: Used to join pipes and fittings without soldering. They consist of a compression nut and ring that create a tight seal when tightened.
- Push-fit fittings: Also known as quick-connect or push-to-connect fittings, these fittings allow for easy installation without tools by simply pushing the pipe into the fitting.
Valves:
- Gate valves: Used to control the flow of fluid by lifting or lowering a gate or wedge.
- Ball valves: Utilize a rotating ball with a hole to control flow. They are durable and provide reliable shut-off.
- Check valves: Designed to allow fluid to flow in one direction only, preventing backflow.
Fixtures:
- Sinks, faucets, and toilets: Common fixtures found in residential and commercial plumbing systems.
- Showerheads and bathtubs: Essential for bathroom plumbing systems.
- Water heaters: Used to heat water for domestic use, available in various types such as tankless, electric, and gas.
Sealants and Adhesives:
- Thread seal tape (Teflon tape): Used to create a watertight seal on threaded pipe connections.
- Pipe dope: Applied to pipe threads to enhance the seal and prevent leaks.
- Pipe joint compound: Similar to pipe dope, used to seal threaded pipe connections.
