The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Right Pipes and Taps for Your Home

Types of Pipes:

The two most common types of pipes used in plumbing are PVC pipes and metal pipes.

  • PVC pipes (Mosco's CPVC Pipes):

    • Less expensive than metal pipes
    • Easy to install
    • Good choice for cold water lines and drain lines
    • Not recommended for hot water lines because they can warp at high temperatures

Types of Taps (Mosco offers a wide variety of taps including bib cocks, stop taps and angle taps):

  • Bib cocks:

    • Most common type of tap
    • Has a handle that turns on and off the water flow
  • Stop taps:

    • Used to shut off the water supply to a particular fixture, such as a toilet or sink
  • Angle taps:

    • Used to connect pipes to fixtures
    • Available in a variety of shapes and sizes

When choosing pipes and taps for your home, consider the following factors:

  • The type of application:
    • Hot water
    • Cold water
    • Drain
  • The water pressure in your home
  • The size of the pipe or tap needed
  • Your budget

For any plumbing project, it's always recommended to consult with a licensed plumber to ensure you choose the right pipes and taps for the job. They can also help you with installation if needed.
