    CONTENTS

     WATER SERVICE CONNECTION IN PLUMBING


     SERVICE PIPES AND MATERIALS USED FOR SERVICE
    PIPES
    INTRODUCTION

     Water Service Connection


     means the water or recycled
    water pipe, valves and other
    facilities by means of which
    the utility conducts water or
    recycled water from its
    distribution mains to the
    meter and meter box located
    at a specified place of delivery
    of water to a parcel of land.
     Water from various sources is
    treated and purified through
    various steps
     It is then stored in tanks and
    reservoirs for use
     Water Service Connection  is any
    water line or pipe connected to a
    distribution supply main or pipe
    for the purpose of conveying
    water to a water user’s system.
    SERVICE CONNECTION
    COMPONENTS OF HOUSE WATER CONNECTION

    FERRULE:
    GOOSE NECK:
    A cap widely used in pipe and fixture joints to create
    Forms a flexible connection between water main and
    a tight compression fitting
    service pipe
    STOP COCK: WATER METER:
    Controls opening and closing of Measures the quantity and velocity of
    water supply water consumed
    SERVICE PIPES AND MATERIALS USED
    FOR SERVICE PIPES
    SERVICE PIPES

     Service pipes are pipes that run


    between the distribution mains in
    the street and the meter in a
    household
    MATERIALS FOR SERVICE PIPES

     Cast iron

     Wrought iron

     Galvanized iron

     Steel

     Copper

     Brass

     Stainless steel

     CPVC

     HDPE, etc…
    CAST IRON PIPES:
    1. Most common form of pipes for water supply
    2. Can handle high pressure and huge quantity of water
    3. Long life span, good tolerance for temperature
    Demerits:
    4. Prone to rusting, needs frequent maintenance
    5. Heavy, difficult to transport
    6. Due to weight, limitations in size

    GALVANIZED IRON PIPES


    1. Made of iron coated with a layer of zinc
    2. Good corrosion resistance, long life span, light
    weight
    Demerits:
    3. Needs frequent maintenance, rust can build up on
    the inside
    HDPE PIPES
    1. High density polyethylene pipes are strong, flexible,
    durable, lightweight
    2. Zero leakage when fixed together
    3. Joints and heat fused, resists corrosion, chemical,
    bacteria
    4. Good temperature resistance
    Demerits:
    5. Susceptible to crack
    6. Poor UV resistance

    COPPER PIPES
    1. Used commonly before CI and GI pipes
    2. Resistant to corrosion, bacteria
    3. Lightweight and durable
    Demerits:
    4. Expensive
    5. Susceptible to extreme heat or cold, can burst it extreme
    cold and crack when heated
    CPVC PIPES
    1. Handles higher temperatures, up to 180 degrees
    2. Stronger than PVC
    3. Can be used for both hot and cold water application
    4. Easy to cut and join
    5. Corrosion resistant and lightweight
    Demerits:
    6. or strength compared to CI and GI pipes
    7. Cant be used in very high pressure
