Preformed steel pipes (standard length of 21 feet) are immersed in molten zinc and then cooled. Once galvanized and cooled, the pipe is placed into a vise and cut to length, and then threaded at the ends to allow the addition of couplings to direct the pipe through the walls in the directions where water is needed, like the kitchen, bathrooms, laundry areas and other interior and exterior locations.
