Hybrid piping systems are becoming more popular with the need for value engineering to meet budgets and tight production schedules. What was once a one-piping-material project for domestic water or mechanical hydronic systems has turned into a multipipe opportunity.
I say “opportunity” because having multiple piping systems in a project can often maximize the best characteristics of each pipe type. For example, what works best for risers and mains might not work best for in-suite piping. Some pipe materials have greater benefits the larger they get. Others have more benefits in smaller sizes.We are fortunate these days to have many piping
