The PVC pipe

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) pipe is the most widely used plastic piping material.

PVC piping systems are:

• Environmentally sound.
• Provide long service life.
• Easy to install and handle.
• Corrosion resistant.
• Cost effective.
• Widely accepted by codes.

PVC pipe is manufactured by extrusion in a variety of sizes and dimensions and generally sold in 10' and 20' lengths. PVC pipe is available in both solid wall or cellular core construction. Cellular core construction involves the simultaneous extrusion of at least three layers of material into the pipe wall: a solid outer layer, a cellular core intermediate layer, and a solid inner layer. PVC pipe is made to conform to various ASTM standards for both pressure and non-pressure applications.
