Things to Consider When Installing Laboratory Plumbing Systems

Before installing a full laboratory Plumbing System, there are things to consider, ranging from code compliance, waste disposal, laboratory users’ needs. Be rest assured that our plumbers can fully handle your installation system. When you contact us, here the things we will consider:

Need of the Laboratory Users: When contracted, there’s a need to fully understand what the user wants and the type of activities done in that laboratory. With that, we can establish the kind of plumbing system to install in the laboratory. As well, we will consider the hazard of the chemicals being used and then, the space available. All these and more will play a crucial role in determining the type of plumbing system to install.
Compliance with Canadian Plumbing Codes: The Canadian plumbing code is one of the things we will also consider. For instance, we might need to install emergency eyewash or shower because of the presence of hazardous chemicals in the laboratory. Depending on the size of the laboratory, we might require a large hot water system. Under this code, we will also determine the pipe material and the design requirements
Pipe Material: Based on the need and the design requirements, decisions need to be made as regards the pipe materials to be used in the plumbing system. Possible materials for acid waste piping include polypropylene (brownline), proxylene (blueline), chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), etc. For reverse deionized or osmosis water pipe material involves polypropylene, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), chlorinated polyvinyl (CPVC). However, in choosing the pipe material, considerations need to be done as to the location to install the pipes. For instance, if piping is to be laid near return air plenum, then, ensure to use pipes that meet the required fire rating. All these and more will be considered.

Common Piping Materials

In Canada, there are two major piping materials used by piping or repiping companies. They include:

Copper Pipes: Pipes from copper materials are very durable and can last long. As compared to PEX pipes, copper pipes usually have a higher upfront cost. Normally, their joints are quite strong and they have high unlikely to sag after a long time.
PEX Pipes: PEX pipes have been in existence for a long time. And they are quite popular among plumbers. These types of pipes are very easy to install and are not expensive. When compared to copper pipes, they are more resistant to freezing or reaction with acidic substances. This made them good for laboratories. However, they are susceptible to Ultraviolet Rays, so they are not advisable to be used outdoors. Due to their flexibility, they cannot be directly attached to water heaters
