Definitely! We constantly had problems with packing too much stuff on our shelves and they would fall down. This happened four times in two years. We got so sick of it we didn't know what to do. My father-in-law recommended the pipes and we used 2X8X10 boards for shelves. We could put a tank up there now and never have a problem!
The only drawback is that galvanized pipe is very ugly and painting won't help much. Maybe you could put some sort of rubber insulation around it and paint that? LOL
ya the galvanized pipecan be use in undergrounds,,, because it is an iron pipe
You can't. There is no fitting to do this. Galvanized has to be threaded.
No.
For maximizing durability and stability in a closet rod installation, consider using heavy-duty metal closet rod support brackets. These brackets are sturdy and reliable, providing strong support for the closet rod.
You should use black pipe -- Galv. pipe will flake off inside of pipe
To connect PVC to galvanized pipe, you can use a PVC to threaded adapter. This adapter has a female threaded end that can be screwed onto the male threaded end of the galvanized pipe. Make sure to use Teflon tape on the threads to create a tight seal and prevent leaks.
Yes, it's better pipe.
No, it is not safe to use galvanized pipe for gas because the zinc coating on the pipe can react with the gas and cause corrosion, leading to potential leaks and safety hazards. It is recommended to use black steel pipe or other materials specifically designed for gas applications.
Depends on local codes I use Galvanized piping and fitting when I know the piping is going to be exposed to moisture (dampness) or the elements
Use only black pipe
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.
To connect a galvanized pipe to a SharkBite fitting, you can use a SharkBite transition fitting specifically designed for this purpose. Simply push the fitting onto the galvanized pipe until it clicks into place, ensuring a secure connection without the need for soldering or special tools.
