Engineering plumbing in modern water supply and heating systems
Affiliate material. In modern water supply and heating systems, it is rather difficult to separate engineering and household plumbing from each other.
First of all, engineering plumbing includes control valves, connecting pipes and fittings for communications. Do household plumbing primarily include visible appliances that are directly used by the consumer? Sinks, baths, faucets and more.
And if household plumbing is intended for domestic use, then engineering plumbing is for the smooth and continuous operation of the entire communications system.
Installation of engineering plumbing is carried out at the construction stage during the construction of houses and buildings of any size.

The basis of engineering plumbing is pipes. There are 3 main types of pipes that differ from each other in the material from which they are made.
1. Metal pipes. This type of pipe was especially widely used in the past. Nowadays, metal has been replaced by polymer materials. Metal pipes have a great advantage: they are heat-resistant and have high mechanical resistance. Their disadvantages include the high cost and complexity of installation.
2. Polymer pipes. They have a number of advantages: durability, lack of overgrowth, ease of delivery and installation, affordable price. Among the disadvantages are low frost resistance and strength. The main materials used in the production of polymer pipes are polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene.
3. Reinforced-plastic pipes. They have several layers that are made from different materials. The most common are PEX-AL-PEX, in which the outer and inner layers are made of cross-linked polyethylene, and between them is a reinforcing layer of aluminum foil.
They are highly resistant to deformation and withstand high temperatures and pressures. But expensive enough.
Installation of pipes is impossible without fittings that perform a connecting function. Usually made of the same material as the pipes.
Fittings are used:
- for turning and branching pipes (tees and swiveling),
- to switch to pipes of a different section (adapters),
- to plug the edge of the pipeline,
- for urgent dismantling of pipeline parts.
