Hey there! As a supplier of PERT EVOH pipes, I've noticed that one of the common concerns our customers have is the noise these pipes can sometimes make. It can be quite annoying, right? Whether it's the sound of water flowing through the pipes or the rattling noise that comes with it, it can disrupt the peace in your home or office. But don't worry, I'm here to share some tips on how to reduce the noise of PERT EVOH pipes.

Understanding the Causes of Noise in PERT EVOH Pipes

Before we dive into the solutions, let's first understand what causes the noise in PERT EVOH pipes. There are several factors that can contribute to this issue:

  • Water Flow Velocity: When water flows through the pipes at a high speed, it can create turbulence, which in turn produces noise. This is especially true if the pipes are not properly sized for the water flow rate.
  • Pipe Vibration: As water moves through the pipes, it can cause the pipes to vibrate. If the pipes are not securely fastened, these vibrations can be transmitted to the surrounding structures, creating a rattling noise.
  • Air in the Pipes: Air pockets in the pipes can also cause noise. When water passes through these air pockets, it can create a gurgling or hissing sound.
  • Poor Installation: Incorrect installation of the pipes, such as improper support or the use of the wrong fittings, can lead to noise problems.

Tips to Reduce the Noise of PERT EVOH Pipes

Now that we know what causes the noise, let's look at some ways to reduce it:

1. Choose the Right Pipe Size

One of the simplest ways to reduce noise is to ensure that you choose the right pipe size for your plumbing system. Using pipes that are too small can increase the water flow velocity, leading to more turbulence and noise. On the other hand, using pipes that are too large can be wasteful and may not be cost - effective. You can consult a professional plumber to determine the appropriate pipe size based on your water flow requirements.

2. Secure the Pipes Properly

Properly securing the pipes is crucial to prevent vibration. Use pipe clamps or hangers at regular intervals to hold the pipes in place. Make sure the clamps are tight enough to prevent movement but not so tight that they damage the pipes. You can also use rubber or foam padding between the clamps and the pipes to absorb vibrations.

3. Eliminate Air in the Pipes

To get rid of air pockets in the pipes, you can open all the faucets in your plumbing system and let the water run for a few minutes. This will help flush out the air. If the problem persists, you may need to install an air separator or a vent valve in your system. These devices are designed to remove air from the pipes and prevent it from accumulating.

4. Insulate the Pipes

Pipe insulation is a great way to reduce noise. It helps to dampen the sound of water flowing through the pipes and also provides some thermal insulation. You can use foam or fiberglass insulation sleeves to wrap around the pipes. Make sure to cover the entire length of the pipes, especially the sections that are most likely to produce noise, such as those near the water source or the faucets.

5. Use Noise - Reducing Fittings

There are special fittings available in the market that are designed to reduce noise. For example, some valves and elbows are engineered to minimize turbulence and vibration. When installing your PERT EVOH pipes, consider using these noise - reducing fittings to help quiet the system.

6. Improve the Installation

If you suspect that poor installation is the cause of the noise, it may be necessary to have your pipes reinstalled by a professional. A qualified plumber will ensure that the pipes are properly supported, the fittings are correctly installed, and the system is balanced to minimize noise.
