Currently, the replacement or construction of a new sewage system is a fairly ordinary process. However, if cast iron or steel pipes were previously used, now plastic samples are becoming increasingly popular.
Product description
A 50 mm diameter sewer pipe is currently used for laying communications for facilities such as residential buildings, commercial or government buildings, entertainment or sports facilities. Today, it is most often plastic specimens that have begun to be used. Cast iron or steel are in less demand, since they have several significant drawbacks when compared with PVC material. Firstly, steel and cast iron is a metal that is susceptible to corrosion, secondly, they are very heavy, and thirdly, their cost is much higher.
While the sewer pipe 50 mm in diameter, made of plastic, has a large supply of positive qualities, among which the most notable is the fact that the use of such material allows you to complete sewer installation work much faster and better.
Positive qualities of plastic
The scope of plastic pipes is very large. This is made possible because they have a large number of advantages.
- Physical weight. This quality, which at first glance does not seem very important, actually plays a rather significant role, since it is much easier to transport, wear and install sewer pipes with a diameter of 50 mm made of plastic than similar ones made of steel or cast iron.
- Cost. Due to the fact that the demand for such a product is simply huge, almost all enterprises that are capable of doing it began to produce it, and therefore the price of the product has fallen markedly.
- One of the important advantages is the absence of harm to those around you. Ecological cleanliness of plastic allows you to use it for laying pipes in institutions such as kindergartens, hospitals, kitchens, etc.
- Naturally, a significant plus is the absence of rotting and mold of sewer pipes of 50 mm diameter, if they are made of PVC.
Distinctive qualities of the goods
This type of material has not only a number of positive qualities that make them much more profitable to use. There are also some features that have contributed to the fact that plastic with great speed displaces other materials from the market.
- One of the most distinctive qualities is its service life. The manufacturers of this product guarantee that the service life of the pipes is at least 50 years.
- Aesthetics. Since the product is not harmful to human health, the laying of the pipeline can also be carried out inside the building. In this case, the appearance of the pipes is pretty good. It does not require painting and will always remain brilliant.
- Sewer plastic pipe 50 mm can be carried out both inside and outside for another reason. The operating temperature range of this material is very wide.
Areas of use for pipes
These pipes are used in many situations. Their widespread use is justified by the fact that a number of their advantages and features are quite large and allows you to operate them in almost any situation. There are several uses for pipes.
- arrangement of internal sewage;
- 50 mm sewer pipe is perfect for laying external type sewers;
- the construction of a system designed to drain wastewater;
- installation of a water pressure system.
Depending on where exactly the pipes will be used, their strength indicator changes, and the thickness of the internal walls also changes. The greatest strength and thickness are those pipes that will be used to equip the water pressure system. The smallest sizes of sewer pipes are those that are used to create an internal water drainage system. This is justified by the fact that they practically do not experience any strong pressure.
Product Parameters
It is necessary to choose material for laying sewage at the design stage of the entire building. This is very important, because depending on the general characteristics, you need to choose the appropriate material and its parameters for the pipes themselves.
The main technical indicators of these products include the following parameters and dimensions of sewer pipes:
- Most often, the wall thickness of such things is 5 mm, and therefore the inner diameter is 45 mm.
- The outer diameter of the sewer pipe is 50 mm.
- The main material used in the production was polyvinyl chloride, not subject to combustion.
- Pipes can be operated at temperatures from -40 to +90 degrees Celsius.
- The maximum impact strength of the product is 2.2 kg / pg.
In order to assemble the sewage system using PVC pipes, the method of joining parts into the sockets is used. In some cases, a fitting may be used. In order to cut pipes into workpieces of the right size, a hacksaw is used for metal.
Terms of use
It is immediately worth noting that 50 mm sewer pipes made of PVC do not require the creation of special conditions for their storage, transportation or operation. When carrying out work using these products, it is necessary to adhere to some simple rules:
- It is prohibited to use this material for arranging a fire water supply system.
- Cutting long pipes into smaller pieces is permitted only by hand. Do not use a grinder or other automatic tools, as in this case the edges of the product will melt too much. In addition, after completing the cutting process, each edge must be thoroughly deburred.
- So that the workpieces do not bend during storage, they must lie in a strictly horizontal position.
- When joining pipes, it is recommended to lubricate the rubber edges with petroleum jelly or silicone. In this case, the connection process will be much faster and easier.
Choosing a diameter for sewage
It is important to understand that pipes for laying sewage are selected based on such a factor as the amount of effluent. Currently, the most common outer diameter for pipes is 110 mm. Products with a diameter of 50 mm are most often used as an internal pipeline system.
The price of a sewer pipe with a diameter of 50 mm varies greatly. The two main parameters that affect cost are diameter and length. For example, a plastic piece with dimensions of 50/150 (that is, 50 mm diameter and 150 mm length) will cost only 29 rubles. The largest segment size available on the market is 3,000 mm. A pipe with parameters 50/3000 will cost about 200 rubles. Low prices are due to the fact that there is currently an excess of this product on the market.
