Laulaha,paipu kila ʻeleʻelea paipu kila kalaponaloaʻa i nā kaʻina hana like no ka wili.ʻO ia inā ʻoe e kamaʻilio e pili ana i ka wili maʻamau a ʻaʻole no kekahi noi kikoʻī e like me ke anuanu loa.ʻO ka paipu kila ʻeleʻele ʻaʻole ia he kikoʻī akā he huaʻōlelo maʻamau i hoʻohana mua ʻia e nā mea paipu e hoʻokaʻawale i ka paipu kila maʻamau mai ka paipu kila galvanized.

ʻO ka hapa nui o ka paipu kila ʻeleʻele he ʻano like me ka paipu ASTM A-53.ʻO ka ʻokoʻa ma waena o A-53 a me ka paipu kila maʻamau e like me A-106 ua kokoke loa i kaha ʻia kekahi paipu e hoʻokō i nā kikoʻī ʻelua.ʻO ka paipu ʻeleʻele a me ka A 53 hiki ke hoʻopaʻa ʻia a i ʻole ke wili ʻia a ʻo ka A106 ka maʻa ʻole.

Hoʻolei ʻia ka paipu kila ʻeleʻele mai nā pae he nui o ka ductile a i ʻole ka hao malleable, ʻoiai ʻo ka paipu kila kalapona i hana maʻamau ʻia me ka welded a ʻole.Hoʻohana ʻia ka paipu kila ʻeleʻele no ka hoʻohana ʻana i lalo o ka lepo a i ʻole i loko o ka wai a no nā paipu mahu nui a me nā lālā i hoʻopili ʻia i nā waikawa.He mea maʻamau ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka paipu hao hao a me nā mea pono no nā laina wai anuanu o ke aupuni 4″ anawaena a i luna.ʻAʻole kūpono ka hoʻolei ʻana i ka make kalepa no nā laina i hoʻonui ʻia i ka hoʻonui ʻana, ka ʻokiʻoki, a me ka haʻalulu ke ʻole ke kaumaha loa ka paipu.ʻAʻole kūpono ia no ka mahu wela nui a i ʻole no nā wela ma luna o 575 degere F. ʻO ka paipu hao hao ma lalo o ka lepo (e like me nā laina sewer) maʻamau ka bele a me nā welau spigot akā ʻo ka paipu i hōʻike ʻia he mau flanged nā welau.

Ma waho aʻe o nā mea i luna aʻe, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohui i ka pahu kila kila (threaded) me nā mea hoʻololi keleawe i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ʻoiai ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohui i ka paipu galvanized a me ke keleawe.E ʻino kēlā ke ʻole ʻoe e hoʻohana i nā mea hoʻohui kūikawā.Ke poina nei au i kā lākou kapa ʻana iā lākou.He inert lākou no laila ʻaʻole e loaʻa iā ʻoe ka pala.Manaʻo wau hiki i kekahi ke kōkua i ka inoa.Kūʻai lākou iā lākou ma nā hale lako paipu.ʻAʻole au i ʻike iā lākou ma ka hale waihona hale. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e hui pū i ka ʻeleʻele a me ka galvanized i nā holo like.Hāʻawi iā lākou i ka manawa kūpono a e ʻino lākou a kahe i nā ami.ʻAʻole lākou i ʻike i ka wā i holo ai lākou i nā laina kinoea i loko o koʻu hale a hui pū ʻia me kekahi mau mea galvanized ma kahi o hoʻokahi haneli mau makahiki i hala.A i ʻole ua ʻike lākou akā ua manaʻo lākou e make lākou a kanu ʻia i ka manawa i hoʻomaka ai ka hū ʻana o ka mea holoi kaomi.Pono wau e holo i nā paipu ʻeleʻele hou a pau.

Inā hele ʻoe e noi i ka paipu kila ʻeleʻele 40 (a i ʻole 80), e loaʻa iā ʻoe ka paipu kila, maʻalahi ke kaula a welded.ʻO ka papa hana 40 (a i ʻole 80) paipu he mea like ia, akā ua uʻi ʻia, ʻoiaʻiʻo, no laila ʻaʻole ʻoe makemake e weld. ʻaʻole hoʻohana i ka paipu galvanized no ke kinoea. Ua manaʻo mau wau he ʻaila carbonized ka uhi ʻeleʻele (e like me ka pā hao ʻeleʻele) akā heluhelu wau i kēia manawa he lacquer wale nō.

Me he mea lā, ʻo ka pilikia me ka mea paahana galvanized no ka paipu kinoea, ʻo ia ka hiki ke komo i loko o nā puka valve, a pēlā aku.
