Abstract

The choice of pipes requires professional knowledge, skills to evaluate the properties and features of these products. Ultimately, the choice is not limited only to the selection of the length and diameter of the pipeline, it is also necessary to take into account the physical and mechanical properties, taking into account the period of use of the pipeline system and the negative experience of the past years. Thus, the choice of pipe material becomes a difficult task that requires time. This article summarizes the experience of operating pipes in the outdoor water supply system, describes the main pipe materials and their characteristics, provides recommendations for the installation of pipeline systems and the necessary conditions for reliable transportation. As a result of compliance with the instructions and recommendations of this article, the installation of pipelines will be carried out in accordance with the requirements for outdoor water supply systems established by the current joint venture, SanPiN and GOST. This article is intended to familiarize construction companies specializing in the field of water supply and sanitation.
