PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is a thermoplastic polymer comprising more than half of its composition a natural element: sea salt. In addition to their rather attractive recyclable character, PVC pipes have many advantages for creating a drainage network. or water supply. A whole range of PVC fittings is available for this purpose.
PVC evacuation pipes are widely used for the evacuation of waste water , whether in collective or individual housing.
In this context, the 100 mm or 110 mm PVC tube is used for the evacuation of sewage, while gray water can be satisfied with a 32 or 40 mm PVC tube.
If the downspout of a collective housing is not made of cast iron, then a 200 mm PVC tube will be more appropriate because of the daily volume to be evacuated.
PVC pressure pipes are intended for water supply . Their strengths are to meet the standards for the supply of drinking water, but also to be able to withstand a service pressure of up to 16 bars.
