Tubing
Tubing has many benefits against piping:
- Pipe threading and welding is more difficult to disassemble and re-assemble
- Piping requires skilled workers for welding & threading
- Piping is more bulky
- Tubing is quick to assemble with simple wrench make-up on tube fittings; assembly time and overall cost of installation reduced
- Tubing is bendable and allows for lower presser drop with fewer connections; reduces costs with less fabricating manpower
