One of the
greatest moments in human history was the advent of indoor plumbing. Since the
1840s indoor plumbing has been taking the world by storm and many different
materials have been used to provide plumbing lines. In recent years, PVC piping
has been gaining popularity over copper tubing as a top choice for indoor
plumbing. PVC is durable, inexpensive, and easy to install, which cements its
place as one of the best choices for plumbing.
Advantages to Using PVC PIPES & FITTINGS In
Plumbing
PVC piping has
been around since about 1935 and started to be used in drain-waste-vent piping
during the reconstruction following World War II. Since then it has only gained
in popularity and has become a top choice in plumbing around the world. And,
while we may be a little biased, it’s easy to see why this is the case.
PVC is one of the most
cost-effective materials on the market today. Not only that but is lightweight,
durable, and easy to install. PVC pipes can resist temperatures up to 140° and
can withstand pressures up to 160psi. Overall, it is a very resilient material.
It’s abrasion-resistant, chemical resistant, and can withstand many different
weather conditions. All of these factors combine to make PVC a long-lasting
material that has the ability to be used for about 100
years. Plus, these infrequent replacements help to reduce
environmental impact.
CPVC and CPVC
CTS in Residential Plumbing
Like we said, we’re a little
biased to PVC, but that doesn’t mean we can’t recognize other amazing products
when we see them – namely CPVC and CPVC CTS. Both products are similar to PVC,
but they hold some distinct advantages.
CPVC is PVC that has been put
through a chlorination process (which is where the extra C comes from). CPVC has
a temperature rating of 200°F, making it a top choice for hot water
applications. Just like PVC piping, CPVC is easy to install,
durable, and requires little to no maintenance.
Both PVC and CPVC use the same
sizing chart, which isn’t compatible with copper tubing. Copper tubing for most
of the 20th and early 21st century was the go-to for plumbing lines. Because of
the different sizing styles, you cannot use PVC or CPVC in a copper tubing
line, which is where CPVC CTS comes in. CPVC CTS is
CPVC in Copper Tube Size. Produced just like CPVC, these pipes can
be used with copper pipes and fittings.
Why You Should
Use PVC for Plumbing
Plumbing is a vital part of
any home or business, and it can also be costly. Save yourself the hassle of
expensive repairs and the upfront cost of metal piping by using PVC pipes. With
its resistance to high heat, pressure, and chemicals, its an investment that
will literally last a lifetime.
