Izinsiza zokuxhuma ze-copper pipe ziyizixhumi ezisetshenziselwa ukuhlanganisa amapayipi e-copper. Ziyimikhiqizo yokucubungula ethulwe phansi emkhakheni wamapayipi e-copper, ezisetshenziselwa ukuhlanganiswa kwamapayipi ngezindlela ezifana nokuhlanganiswa kwe-socket, ukuxhumana okunezintambo, ukuxhumana kwe-flange, noma ukuxhumana okusheshayo ukuze kuhlangatshezwane nezidingo ezahlukene zobunjiniyela.

Ihlukaniswe ngokusebenza, izinsiza zephayiphi zensimbi zensimbi zifaka ikakhulukazi izinsiza zokufaka (ezixhumanisa amaphayiphi amabili aqondile), ama-reducers (axhumanisa amaphayiphi anobubanzi obuhlukile), ama-elbows (afana nama-elbows angu-90° noma angu-45°, asetshenziselwa ukushintsha indlela yamaphayiphi), ama-tees (okwakhiwa kwephayiphi), kanye nezinsiza zokuxhuma (okwakhiwa okuphambene). Ngokwehlukaniswa kwezinto, izinsiza zephayiphi zensimbi zingahlukaniswa zaba yizigaba ezintathu: insimbi ebomvu, ibhasi, kanye ne-bronze. Izinsiza zephayiphi zensimbi ebomvu (ezifana ne-T2 noma i-TP2) zinejazi elibomvu, zinekhono elihle lokuhamba, kanye nokuhamba kahle kokushisa nokuhamba kukagesi, futhi zisetshenziswa kakhulu emanzini, ekupholiseni, nasezishintsheni zokushisa. Izinsiza zephayiphi zibhasi (ama-alloy ensimbi ne-zinc, ezifana ne-H59 noma i-H62) zinezakhiwo ezinhle zomshini, kulula ukuzenza, futhi ziqinile ekugugeni, okwenza kube yindlela esetshenziswa kakhulu, ikakhulukazi efanele emanzini, igesi, kanye nezinsiza zokuhlanzeka. Izinsiza zephayiphi ze-bronze (ezine-insimbi, itini, i-phosphorus, njll.) zinegunya eliphezulu, ziqinile ekugqokeni nasekugugeni, ikakhulukazi ziqinile ekugugeni kwamanzi olwandle, futhi zisetshenziswa kakhulu ekwakhiweni kwemikhumbi, emikhiqizweni ye-chemicals, nasezinhlelweni ezinzima. Ngokwezindlela zokuxhuma, izinsiza zephayiphi zensimbi zifaka ukuxhumana okunezintambo (oxhumanisa ngok tightening internal and external threads, ezifanele izinhlelo eziphansi zok pressure ezifana namaphayiphi amanzi noma amaphayiphi agesi), i-socket welding (iphayiphi ifakwa ngaphakathi kwe-socket bese ibhontshiswa, inikeza amandla aphezulu okuxhuma kanye nokuhlala kahle, efanele izinhlelo eziphezulu zok pressure nezishisayo ezifana nokupholisa noma amaphayiphi e-hydraulic oil), ukuxhumana kwe-flange (oxhumanisa nge-flanges kanye ne-bolts enephedi yokuhlala phakathi, efanele amaphayiphi amakhulu noma amaphayiphi adinga ukuhoxiswa kaningi), kanye nezixhumi ezisheshayo (ezifana nezinsiza zokucindezela noma izinsiza zokukhulula ngokushesha, zakhelwe nge-snap-fit ​​noma izinhlelo zokuvula, zivumela ukuxhumana okusheshayo nokuhoxiswa ngaphandle kwezinsiza, zisetshenziswa kakhulu nezinsiza ze-pneumatic noma ezimweni ezidinga ukuhoxiswa nokuhlanganiswa kaningi). Izinsiza zephayiphi zensimbi zisetshenziswa kakhulu kumadivayisi okupholisa, ezinhlelweni zokuhlinzeka ngamanzi, ezimotweni, emikhumbini, nasezinhlelweni zokuhlunga amanzi olwandle. Emkhakheni wokwakha, zisetshenziswe ezinhlelweni zokuhlinzeka ngamanzi ezinhlelweni ezifana ne-Great Hall of the People kanye ne-National Centre for the Performing Arts eBeijing. Ngokuthuthukiswa kwamazinga okusebenza kwe-air conditioning, ukusetshenziswa kwezinsiza zephayiphi zensimbi ezishintsheni zokushisa kuye kwanda, lapho imishini yokupholisa kanye nezinsiza zokupholisa zenza cishe u-75% wokusetshenziswa kwezinsiza zephayiphi zensimbi.
