Is it better to use 4 or 6 pipes for home water pipes?
In the hydropower layout, we need to use a large number of water pipes to meet the water demand. So when choosing water pipes, is it better to use 4 or 6 pipes? What are the differences? Let's learn about it with Xiaobian!
There are two specifications of water pipe, 4-branch pipe and 6-branch pipe, some of which refer to its size. The diameter of 6-branch pipe of PPR water pipe is 25mm, while that of 4-branch pipe is 20mm. As decoration owners, we only need to remember the same diameter of water pipes and pipe fittings to connect.
In general, most faucets on the market are 4-point connectors. In theory, when laying pipes, only 4 pipes are needed.
However, if at this time the water inlet pipe on the main road is selected with 4 branches, a big problem will occur, that is, the two outlets of the same water inlet pipe outlet at the same time, the flow amplitude is obviously insufficient, resulting in the situation that normal water cannot be used.
If the water pressure is insufficient again, the water output of the faucet at home will become very slow and few when it comes to the peak of cooking water consumption. Some of them even don't, which makes people regret.
Therefore, the best way to maintain and stabilize the water output of the faucet at home is to increase the diameter of the water pipe when distributing the water pipe, i.e. select 6 branches, at least the main water inlet at home must select 6 branches.
Of course, different families should also be determined according to their actual situation, such as a kitchen and a bathroom, if the washing machine is placed on the balcony, the water pipe is generally divided into two ways from the entrance, one way to the kitchen and one way to the bathroom, and the two water pipes must be in six branches.
Because the water pipes to the kitchen and bathroom are to be divided by the wash table, sink, water heater, etc., and the divided part can be divided into 4 branches.
In addition, after the water pipes are laid, it should be noted that a pressure test must be carried out after all the water pipes are closed, mainly to detect whether there is water leakage in the water pipes.
The above is about the choice method of PPR pipe diameter for home decoration. I hope it can help your home decoration.
