2.Pipe fixing method: The data shows that clamp fixation (accounting for 62%) is the most recommended, and its seismic performance is better than welding.
3.Insulation material selection: Comparison of popular models:
| Material type | Thermal conductivity (W/m·K) | Service life | Price (yuan/meter) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rubber and plastic sponge | 0.034 | 10-15 years | 18-25 |
| glass wool | 0.042 | 8-12 years | 12-18 |
4.Decorative solutions: Creative solutions include pipe painting (23%), wood edging (41%), and industrial style exposure (36%).
3. Detailed explanation of professional construction steps
1.Measuring and setting out stage: A slope of 3‰ needs to be maintained, and the drop per meter should not exceed 5mm.
2.Pipe laying essentials:
| Pipe material | Maximum span (m) | Compensator spacing |
|---|---|---|
| PPR pipe | 1.2 | every 6 meters |
| galvanized steel pipe | 2.5 | every 10 meters |
3.Pressure test acceptance criteria: The working pressure is 1.5 times the test pressure, the pressure stabilization time is ≥30 minutes, and the pressure drop is ≤0.02MPa.
4. Emerging Solutions in 2023
