Key Points for Installation and Maintenance

Q1: What are the advantages of stainless steel water pipes compared to plastic pipes?

A1: 1. Better hygiene-no toxic substances precipitation, complying with drinking water standards; 2. Strong corrosion resistance-will not be corroded by water quality, avoiding secondary pollution; 3. Long service life-service life can reach 70-100 years, far longer than plastic pipes; 4. High temperature resistance-can withstand high-temperature hot water, without deformation or aging.

Q2: What are the common connection methods of stainless steel water pipes?

A2: Common connection methods include compression connection, welding connection, and push-in connection. Compression connection is simple and convenient, suitable for small-diameter pipes; welding connection is firm and reliable, suitable for large-diameter pipes and high-pressure systems; push-in connection is fast and efficient, suitable for quick installation scenarios.

Q3: What should be paid attention to during the installation of stainless steel water pipes?

A3: 1. The pipe should be kept clean to avoid debris entering the pipe and blocking the waterway; 2. The connection should be tight to prevent water leakage-check the sealing ring for damage before installation; 3. Avoid excessive bending and collision during installation to prevent pipe deformation; 4. The installation position should avoid direct sunlight and high-temperature environments to extend the service life of the sealing ring.

Q4: How to maintain stainless steel water pipes daily?

A4: 1. Regularly check the connection parts for water leakage, and replace the sealing ring in time if there is leakage; 2. Flush the pipeline regularly to remove scale and impurities; 3. Avoid using strong corrosive cleaning agents to clean the pipeline surface; 4. For outdoor pipelines, take thermal insulation measures in winter to prevent freezing and cracking.

Q5: Can stainless steel water pipes be used in hot water supply systems?

A5: Yes, stainless steel water pipes have good high-temperature resistance and are very suitable for hot water supply systems. 304 stainless steel can withstand hot water temperatures up to 80°C, and 316 stainless steel can be used in higher temperature hot water systems. It should be noted that the sealing ring of the connection part should be selected as a high-temperature resistant type.
