No. Galvanized pipe is what they used to use, and now should either be replaced with modern type of water pipe such as PEX or copper.
COMMENT: Complete agreement. Galvanized served it's purpose and did bring water into a lot of people's homes for a lot of years. That was then, this is now. Today, it would be a dead last choice for a Plumbing system.
galvanized iron pipes commonly used on water pipe lines, it is dipped into zinc for corrosion protection
James Davies has written: 'Galvanized iron' -- subject- s -: Galvanized Iron, Iron industry and trade
Galvanized iron is iron that has been coated with a layer of zinc to protect it from corrosion. This zinc coating increases the durability and longevity of the iron, making it resistant to rust and other forms of corrosion. Galvanized iron is commonly used in outdoor and industrial applications due to its corrosion-resistant properties.
The density of Galvanized Iron is 7850 kg/m3. Density of steel is equal to the density of galvanized iron
GI Pipe is "Galvanized Iron" Pipe. These days the pipe will likely be made from steel rather than iron.
Galvanized iron and galvanized steel have similar thermal conductivities, but they are not identical. Galvanized iron, typically made from wrought iron coated with a layer of zinc, can have slightly lower thermal conductivity compared to galvanized steel, which is usually made from carbon steel. The differences in composition and microstructure between the two materials can affect their thermal conductivity, but both are generally effective conductors of heat.
yes old galv pipe will flake and the iron will start to rust causing rusty water.
Yes, "galvanized" is the English term for the Filipino word "yero." Galvanized refers to the process of coating iron or steel with a protective layer of zinc to prevent corrosion, while yero specifically refers to galvanized iron sheets used for roofing.

Black iron pipe is used for gas installations but ONLY if the piping is indoors. Outdoor gas piping is usually done in galvanized pipe. Steam is also piped with black pipe, fire sprinkler and standpipe systems also use black pipe.
