SharkBite PEX pipe is cross-linked polyethylene pipe, which can be used for residential or commercial purposes. The pipes can be used for all drinking water pipes. There are also red and white pipes. SharkBite pipes can be clamped and pushed in. When inserting a pipe into a pipe fitting, the pipe has a printed mark on it, which can be used as an auxiliary help. This function is only effective when the pipe is cut in the middle of the printed mark.

Home piping As it is a concealed project in decoration, it is difficult to manage after decoration, so special attention should be paid to waterproof treatment and fixation of water pipes during decoration. The laying method of water pipes also affects the service life of water pipes to some extent, so the installation of water pipes is very important.
Water pipe installation What are the steps and techniques?
1. In home decoration, water pipes are installed on the top rather than on the ground. Because water pipes are installed on the ground, they have to bear the pressure of ceramic tiles and people on them, and there is a danger of stepping on the water pipes. In addition, the advantage of roof walking is that it is easy to repair, which is expensive, and ordinary people do not use it.
2. The depth of water pipe slotting shall be greater than 1cm after the cold water pipe is buried, and greater than 1.5cm after the hot water pipe is buried.
3. The cold and hot water pipes shall follow the principle of hot water on the left and cold water on the right, hot water on the top and cold water on the bottom.
4. PPR hot-melt pipe is generally used as the water supply pipe, which has the advantages of good sealing and fast construction. However, it is necessary to remind workers not to be too hasty. If the force is not correct, the pipe may be blocked and the water flow will be reduced. If this happens to the toilet flush valve pipe, the bedpan will not be cleaned.
5. After laying the water pipe and before sealing the groove, it shall be fixed with pipe clamps. The spacing between cold water pipe clamps shall not be more than 60cm, and that between hot water pipe clamps shall not be more than 25cm.
6. The height of the installed cold and hot water pipe heads should be on the same horizontal plane. Only in this way can the hot and cold water switches be installed in the future.
