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.
