If you suspect there are lead pipes or plumbing in your home, take these steps. Bongs being hard to clean is one of the biggest misnomers out there. DIY solutions such as mixing Coarse Seal Salt and rubbing alcohol do exist, but this can eventually damage your bong and prove costly.
1/2″ PVC on the other hand is not the same size as 1/2″ tubing, and therefore requires either a threaded male or female adapter to connect them. When used in agricultural irrigation, the singular form “pipe” is often used as a plural. Thousands and thousands of homes in Paterson, Clifton and Passaic still have lead service lines.

These premium pipe-makers handcraft every piece in Los Angeles, California. You know your water pipe is made by a true enthusiast when they include a high-quality banger nail with every dab rig. There are dozens of percs out there, but they all provide smoother hits at some drag cost. Bongs that have perc like a tree perc bong and have a removable downstem are easy to clean. However, more intricate pieces, such as the fab egg or the inline perc bongs, offer smoother hits but are sometimes harder to clean. The filtering and cooling power of water gives bongs a clear advantage on joints, hand pipes, etc.
Pipe is available in rigid joints, which come in various lengths depending on the material. Tubing, in particular copper, comes in rigid hard tempered joints or soft tempered water pipes rolls. PeX and CPVC tubing also comes in rigid joints or flexible rolls. The temper of the copper, whether it is a rigid joint or flexible roll, does not affect the sizing.
It’s an impressive feat, especially considering that recently updated federal regulations allow cities 33 years to accomplish the same task. Consider installing specific products made to insulate water pipes like a “pipe sleeve” or installing UL-listed “heat tape,” “heat cable,” or similar materials on exposed water pipes. Check around the home for other areas where water supply lines are located in unheated areas. Look in the garage, and under kitchen and bathroom cabinets. Both hot and cold water pipes in these areas should be insulated. Copper pipe and tubing was widely used for domestic water systems in the latter half of the twentieth century.
