Faucets, Fixtures and Pipes

Running new lines takes coping with the constraints of your situation and an understanding of how supply, drain, and vent pipes work.  Our technicians are adept at planning  supply lines  which require no slope or venting, just the correct pipe size as well as the most complicated arrangements of drain-waste-vent (DWV) lines that carry away water, waste, and gases.

Facinating Pipe Facts:

Copper comes in three grades, M for thin wall pipe used mainly inside homes, L for thicker wall pipe, used mainly outside for water services and K, the thickest, used mainly between water mains and the water meter. Copper lasts a long time, is durable and connects well to valves.

Copper should not be installed if the water has a PH of 6.5 or less.    The majority of public utilities supply water at a PH between 7.2 and 8.0 .    Many of the utilities that have source water with a PH below 6.5 are treating the water to raise the PH.  Private well water systems often have a PH below 6.5.    When this it the case, installing a treatment system to make the water less acidic becomes a good idea.
