PVC-U Water Supply Pipe

There is no heavy metal additives in PVC-U water pipe and it would not be covered with dirt or contaminated by bacterium.

■ High Flow Capacity

The smooth interior walls and low friction of PVC-U water pipe result in low flow resistance and high volume. 

■ Corrosion Resistance 

PVC-U water pipe is non-conductors of electricity and unaffected by electrochemical reactions caused by acids, bases, and salts that cause corrosion in metals.

■ Low Installation costs

PVC-U water pipe is lightweight and is installed with solvent cement, thread, flange, and gasketed joint. Ease of installation reduces the installation costs

■ Longevity

PVC-U water pipe can work for more than 50 years under proper use.

■ Environment-friendly

PVC-U water pipe can be recycled.

PVC-U Water Supply Pipe is a pipe commonly used in water supply systems, does not contain plasticizers, and has better physical and chemical properties. PVC-U/UPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride) pipes are usually round, with a smooth inner wall and a solid outer wall. Meaning that they do not contain plasticizers, are corrosion-resistant, have good resistance to chemicals and water quality changes, and are not easy to rust or corrode. 

Compared with metal pipes, PVC-U pipes are lighter, easier to transport and install and reduce construction costs. They are widely used in urban and rural tap water supply systems to ensure safe drinking water. They can also be used in farmland irrigation systems to help improve the efficiency of water resource utilization. As well as for water supply in industrial production to ensure water demand in the production process.

UPVC water pipes specifically refer to UPVC pipes for water supply, usually used in water systems such as tap water supply and irrigation. These pipes are designed to withstand the pressure and flow of water. UPVC plumbing pipes cover a wider range of pipe applications, including water supply and drainage. Commonly used in pipe systems inside buildings, they can be used for the transportation of hot and cold water, as well as the discharge of sewage and wastewater.

Compared with PVC-U pipe, PVC pipe may contain plasticizers, so it is more flexible and resistant to low temperature and impact, but it performs poorly under high temperature and pressure. PVC pipes are easily deformed in high-temperature environments and are generally not suitable for hot water transportation (over 60°C). In addition, the production and disposal of PVC may release harmful chemicals, which will affect the environment. So, if you want to use pipes for the hot water system, choose an unplasticized PVC pipe.
