Galvanized pipe,
Galvanized pipe is steel pipe covered with a protective coating of zinc that
greatly reduces its tendency to corrode and extends its life expectancy. It
may be used in residential water supply lines, but not gas lines because
natural gas causes the zinc to flake off and clog the system.
It's
not frequently used for water supply lines because the minerals in the water
react with the galvanizing material and form scale, which builds up over
time and will eventually clog the pipe. Galvanized pipe was commonly used
for water supply lines many years ago, but over time many have filled with
scale, which is why some older homes suffer from low water pressure. Hard
water greatly reduces the life of steel pipe.
