GI & GP PIPES

---

GI and GP pipes are both galvanized steel pipes, meaning they're coated with zinc to prevent rust and corrosion, but they can differ slightly in their manufacturing and intended use; GI (Galvanized Iron) typically refers to pipes that have undergone a hot-dip galvanization process, resulting in a thicker zinc coating and making them ideal for heavy-duty applications like plumbing and water supply, while GP (Galvanized Plain) pipes often refer to those made from pre-galvanized steel, which may have a thinner coating and are commonly used in lighter applications such as fencing and scaffolding, though the terms are often used interchangeably.
