Yes, if they meet Saudi drinking-water standards and have proper anti-corrosion treatment. They are common in home and project distribution networks. Choose the right wall thickness and working pressure. Matkel offers matching pipes and fittings to help reduce leaks during installation.
Metal pipes handle higher pressure and heat, making them good for main or buried lines. Plastic pipes are lighter, easier to install, and usually lower cost. The best choice depends on network pressure, water type, and the route inside your home or building.
It depends on the metal type and surface treatment. Drinking-water pipes are often treated or coated to reduce rust. With correct use and proper design life, they can last long. In coastal or humid areas such as Jeddah, choose stronger anti-rust protection.
Select size based on water outlets, kitchen, bathrooms, and network pressure. Use a larger size for the main line and smaller branches for outlets. Match fittings to the pipe opening. Reviewing the project plan helps reduce joints and avoid extra pressure on the system.
Yes, when you use matching fittings, correct thread sealing or gaskets, and proper installation. Metal pipes give a stable connection that is less affected by vibration. It is best to pressure-test after installation and before closing walls or burying the line.
