Our plumbing systems

The distribution of hot and cold water takes place through a hydraulic system that conducts water through pipes. The hydraulic system mainly has three functionsi:

  • The supply of hot and cold water, both through the waterworks or water tank
  • The water distribution within the hydraulic system
  • Discharge of dirty water in the sewerage or collection tank

The most important parts of a hydraulic system are:

  • The junction box: when the junction box is placed outside the building, it's necessary to place a general shut-off valve in the building, in an easily accessible position.
  • The internal hydraulic system: from the junction box the water is distributed through pipes from the internal system to the user devices. The pipes may be installed in two ways : visible or inside the walls so that they aren't visible. When installing an internal system with the underground pipes, it's extremely important to comply with the safety regulations. The UNI 9182 legislation applies to this.
  • User devices
  • Drainage: the drainage systems serve to allow the water from washbasins, toilets, showers, bathtubs, sinks etc. to leave the building. A distinction is made between "black" water (toilets), "grey" water (sinks, washing machines, bidet etc.) and "grease" water (kitchen).
