Stainless steel pipe has become the main pipe system in foreign countries like America, Germany and Japan.

But it’s not common in China. Why? Here I list 4 reasons.

Except property, price is very important to users, so they will make a balance between the price and performance. In another hand, not better than stainless steel doesn’t mean the rubber hose doesn’t work.

Second, user’s cognition

Some users may not believe the advantages of stainless steel pipe like nontoxic, no pollution healthy and eco-friendly. Besides, these advantages will be reacted after a long time, especially the healthy and eco-friendly.

Third, rubber and plastic hose have their advantages

Stainless steel pipe has certain professionalism. The pipe worker should have professional acknowledge to install this hose. Besides, the water pipe may used in complex conditions and the hose may not goes straightly.
