A

Range boiler

34
Q
  • large hot water tank.
A

Storage tank

35
Q

made of galvanized sheet, steel or capper, built into cylinder shape with concave ends either welded or riveted.
- 0.30 to 0.60 meter in diameter with a length of not more than 1.80 meters.

A

Range Boiler

36
Q

made of heavy duty metal sheets with rust proof paint
0.60 to 1.30 meters diameter and its length is up to 5.00 meters long

A

Storage tank

37
Q

made out of a Mild Steel
subject to deposits of salts and lime
corroded by alkaline and acid water
when used in hot water line, it deteriorates faster

A

GALVANIZED IRON (G.I) OR STEEL PIPE

38
Q

Two types Plastic or Synthetic Pipe

A

a. Rigid type
b. Flexible type

39
Q

durable and is conveniently installed in most of the plumbing needs in building which are less than 25 storey high because water usually leaks at joints due to vibration

A

CAST IRON PIPE

40
Q

Type of cast iron pipe for building installations

A

SV

41
Q

Type of cast iron pipe for underground installations this are extra heavy.

A

XV

42
Q

Made of an alloy of cast iron and silicon. It is commonly installed in chemical laboratories where acid waste are being discharged.

A

Acid Resistant Cast Iron Pipe

43
Q

made of asbestos fibers and portland cement. The thickness is twice that of standard cast iron. Most suited for embedment on concrete structures.

A

Asbestos Pipe

44
Q

Cheapest light in weight, recommended for house sewer and septic tank installation. It could take slight soil movement without danger of cracking or pulling out of its joint.

A

Bituminous Fiber Sewer Pipe

45
Q

made from clay and with a length of 0.75 meter treated with glazed compound. This is highly resistant to most acids and is well suited in underground installations working either as public or house sewer or
storm in drain. Being made of clay. The physical property of this pipe is brittle. It easily cracks when laid on unstable ground or base

A

Vitrified Clay Pipe

46
Q

oldest plumbing materials. Lead is highly resistant and is very suitable to underground installation. But because it is poisonous
and injurious to human health, it is never recommended to convey
water for human consumption

A

Lead Pipe

47
Q

better than steel pipe for plumbing installation, because it is more resistant. to acid waste than the steel pipe

A

Galvanized Wrought Iron Pipes

48
Q

most expensive of all types of pipe. Made of an alloy of zinc and
copper mixed at a proportion of 15% and 85% respectively. The brass
pipe is a superior material for waste and water installation because of
its smooth surface aside from its high resistance to acids.

A

Brass Pipes

49
Q

A durable material which is extremely corrosive resistant-easiest to install.

A

Copper pipe
