- Hot-dip galvanized steel pipe
- Advantages
Hot-dip galvanized steel pipe is inexpensive and easy to lay, usually consisting of several small pipe connections welded together. In addition, hot-dip galvanized steel pipe is not easy to burn, has high corrosion resistance and weathering resistance, and can maintain good drainage for a long time.
- Disadvantages
The life span of hot-dip galvanized steel pipe is relatively short compared with cast iron pipe, which is susceptible to external factors and requires frequent and regular maintenance and replacement. In addition, hot-dip galvanized steel pipe will rust under high temperature and high humidity environment, which will cause blockage and damage to the pipe, and have a bad impact on the kitchen environment.
- Cast Iron Pipes
- Advantages
Cast iron pipe is a high-quality piping material that is widely used in kitchen drainage systems. Cast iron pipe is thick and sturdy, with solid structure, high pressure resistance and load bearing capacity, which can effectively remove kitchen sewage. In addition, cast iron pipes are corrosion-resistant and have a long durable life, with a service period of more than 50 years.
- Disadvantages
Cast iron pipes are more expensive than hot-dip galvanized steel pipes, and the tools and equipment required for installation are more complicated. In addition, cast iron pipes are heavier and require better installation techniques, which usually need to be carried out by professionals.
Considering the importance of the kitchen drainage system, it is recommended that cast iron pipes are preferred as the material for kitchen drains, but hot-dip galvanized steel pipes are also a good choice if you have a smaller budget and the drainage system won’t be subjected to too many shocks and damages.
[Conclusion
Both hot-dip galvanized steel pipe and cast iron pipe have their advantages and disadvantages in the kitchen drainage system. The specific choice of which material should be considered according to the actual needs and installation requirements to ensure the stability, safety and long life of the drainage pipe.
