I kēia mau lā a me nā makahiki, nui nā ʻano hoihoi a noʻonoʻo o ka paipu. ʻO ka PEX (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) kekahi o nā lako paipu hale kaulana loa i kēia mau lā, he ʻōnaehana paipu intuitive a me ka ʻōnaehana kūpono e hiki ke hele a puni i ka papahele a me nā mea keʻakeʻa i ka paia, akā paʻakikī ke pale aku i ka ʻino a me ka wai wela. Hoʻopili ʻia nā paipu PEX i ka plastic a i ʻole nā ​​mea metala ma ka hub i loko o ka ʻōnaehana ma ka crimping ma mua o ke kāpili a i ʻole ka wili. I ka hiki ʻana i ka paipu PEX vs PVC maʻalahi, ʻo wai ka koho maikaʻi?

ʻO PVC hikiwawe ke ʻano o kona ʻano. He paipu maʻalahi o ka nui like me ka PVC maʻamau a hiki ke hoʻopili ʻia i nā pono PVC me ka sima PVC maʻalahi. ʻOi aku ka mānoanoa o PVC maʻalahi ma mua o ka paipu PEX no kona nui 40 a me ka mānoanoa o ka pā. E heluhelu no ka ike inaPaipu PEX a i ʻole PVC hikiwaweʻoi aku ka maikaʻi no kāu noi!

mea komo
Ua like nā mea ʻelua ma muli o kā lākou mau waiwai maʻalahi, akā ʻokoʻa loa kā lākou haku mele ʻana, noi a me ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana. E hoʻomaka mākou ma ka nānā ʻana i ka mea. ʻO ka PEX kahi polyethylene i hoʻopili ʻia. Hana ʻia ia me ka polyethylene kiʻekiʻe me nā mea paʻa i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i loko o ka hale polymer. He mea paʻakikī ia, akā ʻo ia wale nō ka maʻalahi o ka mea a hiki ke kū i nā kaomi kiʻekiʻe (a hiki i 180F no nā noi plumbing).

Hana ʻia ka PVC maʻalahi mai ka mea likemea kumu e like me PVC mau: polyvinyl chloride. Eia nō naʻe, hoʻohui ʻia nā plasticizers i ka pūhui e hāʻawi iā ia i ka maʻalahi. Hiki i ka PVC maʻalahi ke kū i nā mahana mai -10F a 125F, no laila ʻaʻole kūpono ia no ka wai wela. Eia nō naʻe, pono loa ia i nā noi he nui, a mākou e uhi ai ma ka ʻāpana aʻe.

palapala noi
ʻOi aku ka ʻokoʻa ma waena o nā paipu ʻelua ma mua o ko lākou ʻano. Hoʻohana ʻia lākou i nā noi like ʻole. Hoʻohana pinepine ʻia ka paipu PEX i ka paipu hale a me ka ʻoihana ma muli o kāna mau wahi liʻiliʻi a me ke kūpaʻa wela kiʻekiʻe. Kūpono ʻo PEX no kēia mau hana no ka mea hiki iā ia ke kūlou a kūlou i kēlā me kēia ʻaoʻao me ka ʻole o ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea lako. ʻOi aku ka maʻalahi o ka hoʻouka ʻana ma mua o ke keleawe, ʻo ia ka wai wela no nā hanauna.

ʻAʻole hiki ke mālama i ka wai wela, akā he mau mea maikaʻi ʻē aʻe. ʻO kona paʻakikī a me ka paʻakikī paʻakikī e hoʻololi i ka PVC kūpono no nā loko a me ka irrigation. He liʻiliʻi ka hopena o ka chlorine i hoʻohana ʻia no ka wai loko i kēia paipu paʻakikī. He mea maikaʻi hoʻi ʻo Flex PVC no ka hoʻoulu ʻana i ka māla, no ka mea hiki ke hele i nā wahi āu e pono ai me ka ʻole o nā mea hoʻonāukiuki.

E like me kāu e ʻike ai, ʻo ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana i ka paipu PEX i ka PVC maʻalahi e like me ke kau ʻana i kahi kime baseball me kahi hui hockey. He ʻokoʻa lākou, ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke hoʻokūkū kekahi i kekahi! Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole kēia ka hopena o nā ʻokoʻa. E nānā mākou i kekahi o nā hiʻohiʻona koʻikoʻi o kēlā me kēia ʻano paipu: ke kau ʻana. E heluhelu hou e pili ana i nā polokalamu PEX i kēia ʻatikala mai The Family Handyman.

Hoʻokomo
I kēia manawa e hoʻomaka mākou me ka PVC maʻalahi, ʻoiai ua kau ʻia ma ke ʻano i kamaʻāina loa mākou ma PVC Fittings Online. Hoʻokomo ʻia ka paipu me nā ʻano mea like me ka paipu PVC maʻamau. No ka mea, ua aneane like ia me ka PVC maʻamau, hiki ke hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻia ka PVC maʻalahi a hoʻopaʻa ʻia i nā pono PVC. Loaʻa ka sima PVC hikiwawe kūikawā i hoʻolālā ʻia e kū i nā haʻalulu a me nā kaomi i loaʻa mau i nā loko ʻauʻau a me nā ʻōnaehana spa.

nā pex, nā apo crimp a me nā mea hana crimp Hoʻohana nā paipu PEX i kahi ala pili kūʻokoʻa. Ma kahi o ke kāpili a i ʻole ke kuʻi ʻana, hoʻohana ʻo PEX i nā metala ʻala a i ʻole nā ​​mea palaki i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia a kau ʻia paha ma ka hub. Hoʻopili ʻia ka paipu plastik i kēia mau ʻāpana ʻili ma o nā apo crimp metala, i hoʻopaʻa ʻia me nā mea hana crimping kūikawā. Ma ka hoʻohana ʻana i kēia ʻano, hoʻopaʻa ʻia ka pilina i mau kekona wale nō. I ka wā e pili ana i ka paipu home, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o nā ʻōnaehana PEX e hoʻokomo aikeleawe a i ʻole CPVC. ʻO ke kiʻi ma ka ʻākau e hōʻike ana i kahi kāʻei PEX multi-alloy, kahi apo crimp keleawe, a me kahi mea hana crimp, loaʻa nā mea āpau i kā mākou hale kūʻai!
