Domestic PVC pipes are a type of plumbing pipe made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic. They are a popular choice for cold water plumbing applications due to their low cost, ease of installation, and durability.
Features:
- Affordable
- Easy to install: Domestic PVC pipes can be solvent welded together using a PVC solvent cement. This creates a strong, watertight joint.
- Durable: PVC pipes are resistant to corrosion and can last for many years when properly installed.
- Not suitable for hot water: PVC pipes can warp or deform at high temperatures. They are not recommended for hot water plumbing applications.
