What else can I help you with?
There is only a trickle of cold water coming out of the cold tap in the kitchen the pipe is blocked took the stopcock off and it has disintegrated and think the fiber washer fell into pipe?
Sounds as though you have galvanised piping. Your only solution there is to take the section of piping out and inspect it at the next joint and see whether the condition of the piping is adequate. If not take out the next section of piping until you find that the piping is in better condition. My recommendation is to replace with copper, for two reasons, copper does not corrode and is easy to install. Would be advisable to replace the stopcock and even in some cases the tap as well.
Which would corrode more quickly a pipe with hot water or a pipe with cold water?
the pipe with the hot water will.]The piping with cold water as many hydronic systems are over 100 years old and the piping looks as new as the day it was installedAs long as thermo stress and velocity are taken into consideration hot water lines can last longer then their cold countter parts as cold piping becomes more brittle over the years
Why is cooper good for piping?
Copper is an excellent material for piping due to its durability, corrosion resistance, and antimicrobial properties. It can withstand high temperatures and pressures, making it suitable for both hot and cold water systems. Additionally, copper pipes are easy to work with and can be joined using various methods, including soldering and brazing, ensuring reliable connections. Its longevity and recyclability also contribute to its popularity in plumbing applications.
Is ppr pipe can be use for gas piping system?
No, PPR (Polypropylene Random Copolymer) pipe is not suitable for gas piping systems. It is primarily designed for hot and cold water distribution and is not approved for transporting gas due to its inability to withstand the pressures and potential chemical reactions associated with gas. For gas piping, materials like steel, copper, or specific types of plastic such as polyethylene (PE) are recommended. Always consult local regulations and codes for proper materials in gas applications.
Can L or M grade copper pipe be used in a home?
Both. M used for hot water heat. L used for domestic hot and cold water.

What is the purpose of a heat trap on water heaters?
to keep hot water from backing up into the cold water piping.
In many areas gas piping must be bonded to what?
Gas piping must be bond to the appliance it serves.
What happens when copper sulfate dissolves in cold water?
When copper sulfate dissolves in cold water, it forms a blue solution due to the formation of hydrated copper ions. The solubility of copper sulfate is slightly lower in cold water compared to hot water. The dissolution process is endothermic, meaning it absorbs heat from its surroundings.
Why is the cold water warm in some rooms even in winter. Do I have a bad or leeking hot water heater?
Nope, no leak. But if the piping is near an outside wall or passing through an area and the piping is hotter then the ambient temperature then the water in the piping will give off more heat then passing through a warmer area.Best bet is to insulate the piping
