PVC Drainage Pipe

PVC drainage pipe is a lightweight, corrosion-resistant plastic pipe used for gravity soil, waste, and stormwater drainage above and below ground. It is typically joined by solvent cement or rubber-ring sockets and is valued for low cost and easy handling.

FAQ

Is PVC drainage pipe suitable for underground use?

Yes, buried-grade PVC pipe (with an appropriate stiffness/SN class) is widely used underground, but confirm the class against the datasheet and burial depth.

How are PVC drainage joints made?

Typically by solvent cement for permanent joints or by rubber-ring push-fit sockets where movement or easy assembly is needed.
