Drainage & Plumbing Pipes (439 items found)

Pipes are essential materials for many plumbing projects. Whether you're working in the bathroom, the kitchen, the basement or beyond, Ace Hardware can help you find the plumbing pipe that you need to get the job done with a huge selection of water pipe products available in stores and online.

Types of Plumbing Pipe Materials

One of the first things to consider when shopping for plumbing pipes is what type of material you need. If you're replacing pipes, choose the same type of material as the other pipes and pipe fittings currently in place. For new projects, some material options include:

• PVC pipes:Plastic pipes made from PVC can run across long distances and are highly durable. Because they resist damage and corrosion, they are often a good choice for sewage drainage pipe applications. For water pipes, use them only for cold water, such as when connecting toilets.
• PEX pipes: Lightweight and durable, PEX pipes are suitable for both hot and cold water. They're often used as replacements for copper pipes, but they usually aren't ideal for outdoor projects.
• Galvanized iron pipes: You'll most often find galvanized pipes used for water supply lines and well pumps in older homes, and they're rarely found in new construction today. Still, you may need to purchase galvanized pipe if you're replacing a single plumbing pipe in a home that already has galvanized iron in place.
• Corrugated pipes: Usually fashioned out of plastic, corrugated pipes are highly flexible due to their system of ridges and grooves. Plumbers often use them as drain pipes.
• ABS pipes: Because they can withstand higher temperatures than other plastic pipes, ABS is commonly utilized as a drain pipe.
• Pressure pipes: Made out of a variety of materials, pressure pipes feature unique construction that allows them to transport water that is under pressure. How much pressure these plumbing pipes can withstand depends on their ratings, measured in pounds per square inch or PSI. Be sure to select water pipes with adequate PSI ratings for your project for the best results.

Comparing Pipe Sizes

Size is another important consideration when stocking up on plumbing pipe for a project. To determine which diameter size you need, measure your existing pipes. For male pipes, use the outer diameter by measuring across the pipe from one end to another. When replacing female pipes, determine the inner diameter by measuring from inside edge to inside edge.
