PVC Pipes
This document provides information about PVC pipes, including how they are made from salt and oil/gas, their properties such as being chemically stable and having good insulation, and their various applications. PVC is used in medical supplies, transportation, construction, toys, and more. The document then focuses on PVC pipes, noting they are durable and do not corrode. It describes the different types of PVC pipes like water, sewage, and drainage pipes. It provides details on characteristics, uses, advantages and disadvantages of PVC pipes.

- 5. PVC PIPE Polyvinylchloride (PVC) pipe is made from a plastic and vinyl combination material. The pipes are durable, hard to damage, and long lasting. They do not rust, rot, or wear over time. For that reason, PVC piping is most commonly used in water systems, underground wiring, and sewer lines.
- 6. CHARACTERSTICS The Colourof PVC Pipe is White or Dark Grey. PVC is available in both rigid form and flexible form. It is safe to touch and handle.

- 8. PVC WATER PIPE PVC water pipes are also very smooth, which means there is no loss of flow or water pressure due to friction. Finally, PVC water pipe does not react chemically with water, so there is little risk of rust or corrosion. Polyvinyl chloride pipe, or PVC pipe, is more often used to remove water, rather than supply it for consumption.
- 10. PVC PIPE CONNECTORS Plumbers join pipe tees to surrounding pipes using a variety of methods. Many metal pipes and connectors are threaded, and can be screwed together by hand or with a wrench. PVC plumbing is plumbing done with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe. Around half of the world's PVC production goes to making pipes for plumbing applications, and PVC plumbing is extremely common around the world for new structures and replacements of existing plumbing systems.
- 13. PVC PLUMBING PIPE PVC plumbing is plumbing done with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe. Around half of the world's PVC production goes to making pipes for plumbing applications, and PVC plumbing is extremely common around the world for new structures and replacements of existing plumbing systems. PVC drain pipe, or perhaps more generally, PVC pipe, is the ubiquitous white tube most often used in plumbing applications.
- 15. PVC SEWER PIPE It is typically used to allow water to pass from one location, such as a roof, to another location, such as a sewer or gutter. Polyvinyl chloride pipe, or PVC pipe, is more often used to remove water, rather than supply it for consumption. City water and sewer carrier pipes are housed inside containment pipes, particularly when a pipe is built exposed.
- 17. PVC DRAINAGE PIPE Since then, industry standards have been developed and piping that is appropriate for water is marked with designations such as NSF-61. PVC drain pipe is often preferred over other forms of drainage pipe, including cast iron pipe, flexible tubing, or galvanized steel pipe. Users can manipulate it to send water flow in any desired direction. Drainage pipes are also made of ceramic. This type of drainage pipe is similar in strength to many types of plastic piping.
- 19. PVC PIPE SUPPLY Because the flexible pipe can easily routed in any direction necessary, this form of PVC piping can be used in areas where space is very limited or that simply would not accommodate a rigid pipe. Flexible PVC pipe fittings are much like the fittings for any type of pipe, so no special tools are needed for the installation. A coupler or union type of PVC pipe fitting is like a sleeve that slides over the end of each PVC pipe at a joint and is used to join the two pieces of pipe together. Cap PVC pipe fittings usually are used to cap off the flow of water at one point.
- 20. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGE Pipesused in soil and waste water discharge systems Rigid PVC pipes are used for distribution of water with temperature below 450C. At higher temperature, the strength of the pipes decreases. Similarly ultraviolet radiation from sunlight as well as frequent changes in temperature reduces the life of PVC pipes. These pipes are costlier than AC pipes but cheaper than GI pipes. PVC Pipes resist corrosion and degrade from chemicals classified as an Acid and Alkali. Functional temperature is 200 Degree Fahrenheit. Light in weight Pipes are durable.
- 21. PVC Pipe VsCast Iron Pipe Cast iron is time tested, durable and quiet. PVC pipe is easy to cut. Use cast iron for large drain stacks and PVC for vent pipes. PVC pipe is lighter weight than cast iron. It cuts faster with a regular saw you'd use to cut lumber. To cut cast iron, you need a cut-off saw with an abrasive blade that creates a shower of sparks.
