Gaining access to hot and cold water lines:
Whether for your renovation or for a new addition the procedure for tapping into or extending off existing hot and cold water lines is the same. Choose the type of water line pipe system available at your local plumbers’ merchant store. In Australia and New Zealand
Secura by Dux industries is preferred. Since the late 1970’s early eighties. These poly plastic
hot and cold water piping systems have come a long way. And now generally carry a 50-year warranty. You will find either an old poly system or copper or galvanized water pipes in your walls behind existing plumbing fixtures such as your shower, bath, basin, laundry and kitchen. And also under the floor if wooden or overhead in the roof cavity above the ceiling.
Whatever piping material you find we will be redirecting the old lines into new poly crimped brass and copper elbows and tees and adaptor fittings. The first task is to turn off the hot and cold water supply.
