Which are the materials or metals used for making pipe?

Before copper and plastic pipes became available people used to use lead, iron or steel to make water pipes. Nowadays main water supply pipes for fresh water coming into buildings are made of plastic and pipes within buildings - delivering water to sinks, baths, showers and toilets - are made either of copper or plastic. Within buildings, pipes which take away waste water - which are also called drainage pipes - are usually made of plastic. Outside buildings, modern drainage pipes are mostly made of plastic but older drain pipes may be made of glazed earthenware (which is baked clay) or iron.
