Polyvinyl chloride is most commonly known as PVC. PVC pipe is the most commonly requested form of plumbing pipes, varying in size, style and color depending on what your business needs. PVC plastic is lightweight and durable, making the transporting of PVC to work sites easier than traditional metal pipes.
PVC pipe is available in sizes that range from 1/2 inch to 9 inches in diameter. There are three basic types of PVC pipes: PVC plumbing, flexible PVC and PVC conduit. PVC pipes are the most common forms of PVC. Flexible PVC pipes are used in plumbing and ventilation systems. PVC conduit is a less expensive version of metal conduit of electrical wires.
