Explanation:

Galvanized pipes are steel pipes that have been dipped in a protective zinc coating to prevent corrosion and rust. Galvanized piping was commonly installed in homes built before 1960. ... Today, however, we have learned that decades of exposure to water will cause galvanized pipes to corrode and rust on the inside.

Answer 2

Answer:

Water pipes are made up of iron. Rusting of iron occurs when iron interacts with air and water. Therefore, to prevent rusting of iron, water pipes are galvanized, i.e. iron pipes are coated with metals such as zinc or chromium to prevent iron from interacting with air.
