Skill Builder Guides & reviews for building and construction
Roger visits the Abacus Bathrooms showroom to demonstrate a powerful comparison between two plumbing methods: continuous bent pipes versus push-fit fittings. If you’ve ever wondered how your plumbing method can affect water flow and efficiency, this experiment will show you the difference firsthand.
What’s Covered:
🚰 Continuous Pipe vs. Fittings: Roger sets up an experiment comparing two identical pipe runs—one using continuous bent Viega tube, and the other using standard push-fit fittings.
💧 Flow Rate and Efficiency: The results are clear — the continuous bent pipe provides a much higher flow rate. Using fittings can slow down water flow and increase resistance in your plumbing system.
🛁 Impact on Shower Pressure: If you’re experiencing low water pressure in your shower, the culprit might be your pipe fittings. Discover how your plumbing setup could affect your water pressure and flow rate.
🔧 Advantages of Bent Pipes: Continuous bent piping is superior for reducing leaks, improving water flow, and ensuring a more reliable plumbing system – especially for large installations like hotels and housing projects.
⚙️ Crimp Fittings vs. Push-Fit Fittings: Crimp fittings offer a leak-proof solution and add durability to your plumbing system.
Key Takeaway
Sometimes, the good old-fashioned pipe-bending method is the best way to ensure efficient water flow and reduce potential problems.
