Water Supply System

The water supply system is considered an essential part of every construction project. It is a system for providing water by using pipes to each area of the property such as bathrooms and kitchens.

In general, PVC, PE, and Galvanised pipe are used. However, PVC pipe is the most popular in recent times thanks to its outstanding characteristics such as imperviousness to climate and humidity, not rusting and not requiring serious maintenance. PVC pipe for water supply systems are normally 1/2-1 inch with class of 13.5 which is suitable for high pressure work from water pumps.

PVC Valve Socket Union

SCG shares these three tips related to pipe systems:

Difficult to replace a broken pump?

It is always not easy to replace a broken pump. The PVC pipe has to be cut and the pump removed out to be repaired, which wastes both time and money. It is recommended to use a “PVC Valve Socket Union” by connecting the plain side to the water inflow pipe and the threaded side to the pump. When a pump breaks down, separate the plain side and threaded side of the “PVC Valve Socket Union”, then replace a new pump or repair the broken pump without cutting the pipe.

Why is the pump broken?

Pumps may break due to water flow reverse which causes pump malfunction. Therefore, it is recommended to install a “Check Valve” which protects water flow reversing into the pump.

Brass Faucet Socket

Stop leakage at the connection point of the faucet

When replacing faucets, it will make the thread loosen or break if poor quality faucet socket is used or the screw faucet is neglected. Using a “Brass Faucet Socket” will eliminate the cause of leakage at the connection point of the faucet. This is also used at the point which is often twisting or requires replacement.
