What are PVC pipes and fittings?
PVC means polyvinyl chloride. Pipe-grade PVC is usually uPVC, the unplasticised and rigid form, which is light, cheap and does not rust. It suits cold water supply, drainage, sewer and irrigation lines.
PVC fittings join with solvent cement, which softens the pipe and socket surfaces so they bond into one piece. CPVC is a chlorinated version that handles higher temperatures, so it can carry hot water where standard PVC cannot.
How to choose and install PVC
- Use pressure-rated PVC for water supply and drainage grade for waste and storm water.
- Choose CPVC for hot water, because standard PVC softens with heat.
- Cut pipe square, remove burrs and clean both surfaces before applying solvent cement.
- Push the pipe fully into the socket with a slight twist and hold it for a few seconds.
- Allow the joint to cure before you pressure test the line.
- Protect exposed PVC from direct sunlight with paint or cover.
