Are copper plumbing too expensive? Many pipe fittings on the market are not cheaper than copper pipe fittings. Is it cost-effective to use copper pipes? In fact, the advantages of copper pipe fittings and the economic benefits they bring can completely make up for or even exceed the high price of raw materials. Among all kinds of pipe fittings, the performance-price ratio of copper pipe fittings is second to none. The flow performance of the liquid in the copper pipe is better than that of other pipes, the resistance is small, and it is not easy to cause the water flow to be blocked or even blocked; under the same flow rate, the inner diameter of the copper pipe is smaller than that of other pipes, and the pipe wall is thinner, which reduces the water flow pressure to a minimum. Therefore, the copper water supply system can not only use small-sized thin-walled copper pipes, save materials, but also save a lot of energy.
Let's calculate a clear account: if only from the first investment, the price advantage of copper water supply system is not obvious. For example, the initial investment of copper water pipe system is 2.5 times that of galvanized steel pipe. But the service life of the former is at least 3-4 times that of the latter. If the copper pipe fittings use less material than other pipe fittings, the installation is simple and maintenance-free, the maintenance performance is good, the sturdy and durable, and the environmental pollution is not polluted. High quality and cheap quality. In the case of hot water, coupled with the energy-saving advantages of copper, the difference between it and general pipes and copper pipes is even more significant.
As far as homebuyers are concerned, taking the decoration of two bedrooms and one living room in Shanghai as an example, all the hot and cold water pipes are made of copper pipes, and the cost is only about one thousand yuan. In terms of cost, the extra expenditure is not large, but it is completely worth the money. Then again, installing copper pipes and fittings in your home is like investing in savings. Because decades later, when the house is dilapidated and all other materials and equipment are useless, copper pipe fittings can still be easily disassembled and reassembled for use as needed, and even the sale of pipes can also yield higher returns.
