PVC Pipe Fitting

 While metal pipes have been in use since ancient civilization for plumbing systems, in the modern world, there has been an increasing shift towards plastic pipes. Since the discovery of the advantages of polyvinyl pipes in the 1930s, there has been a gradual preference for PVC pipes in plumbing and sanitation applications. Let is take a look at the various advantages that PVC pipes bring for applications: 

 Since its inception, Wavin has been committed to innovating solutions that enable sustainable water supply and management for people around the world.

Polyvinyl chloride or PVC is one of the most preferred materials nowadays for pipe networks for water and gas pipe systems. Since their first use for pipelines in the 1930s, PVC pipes and fittings have come to acquire widespread popularity and usage on account of their enhanced durability, strength, flexibility and resistance to corrosion and rusting. Let us take a look at some of the common applications of PVC pipes and fittings:

While the first evidence of piped plumbing can be traced back to 2500 BC, these systems made use of metal pipes. Since the 1930s, plastic pipes came to be first used and gradually, normalised for use in plumbing and sanitation systems. Among the various thermoplastics used in plumbing and sanitation networks, polyvinyl chloride is widely employed in various applications. PVC sanitary pipes and fittings are suitable for different environments on account of their many properties, which are listed as under:

For plumbing and sanitation networks, one of the most preferred materials for pipes and fittings is polyvinyl chloride, or PVC as it is commonly known. PVC is preferred on account of its many advantageous properties which include long-lasting durability, high corrosion resistance, and ease of installation, among others. When it comes to installation of PVC pipes and fittings, precision is of great importance. Only the right types and dimensions of pipes and fittings can ensure optimal performance. Read on for a brief guide on how to choose the right pipes and fittings:

 While the installation of the right pipes and fittings in a plumbing network is of great importance, equally important is correct maintenance. The popular plastic and PVC pipes and fittings are increasingly being used in plumbing and sanitary pipe networks and while they are low maintenance, if the system is exposed to undue stress, it can clog and lead to blockages which are highly inconvenient. As is always recommended, prevention is better than cure, so it is better to keep an eye out for some warning signs to prevent any extensive damage to the pipe network. Read on to know what are some of the steps you can take to find out if there is clogging in the pipe network:
