   Pipe sizes can be confusing because the terminology may relate to historical dimensions. For example, a half-inch iron pipe does not have any dimension that is a half inch. Initially, a half inch pipe did have an inner diameter of 1 ⁄ 2 inch (13 mm)—but it also had thick walls. As technology improved, thinner walls became possible, but the ...

   [21]: 147, 149 A flexible fitting may be preferred to connect a shower or heavy tub to the drainage system without transmitting slight movements or stresses, which could eventually cause cracking. [21]: 159 Flexible fittings may also be used to reduce the transmission of vibration into the DWV system.

6. HDPE pipe - Wikipedia

   HDPE pipe is a type of flexible plastic pipe used to transfer fluids and gases. It is often employed for replacing aging concrete or steel main pipelines . Constructed from the thermoplastic HDPE (high-density polyethylene ), it has low permeability and robust molecular bonding, making it suitable for high-pressure pipelines .

7. Garden hose - Wikipedia

   This fitting is used with 1 ⁄ 2-inch, 5 ⁄ 8-inch, and 3 ⁄ 4-inch hoses. [4] [5] In other countries, a British Standard Pipe (BSP) thread is used, which is 3 ⁄ 4 inch (19 mm) and 14 TPI (male part outside diameter is 26.441 mm or 1.04 in). The GHT and BSP standards are not compatible, and attempting to connect a GHT hose to a BSP fitting ...
