Why PVC Pipes Are a Smart Choice for Water Distribution Systems

When you are asked to name a pipe, if not the only answer, one out of the many answers is definitely PVC. The name PVC is used almost as a substitute for piping or plumbing. The reach this piping system has achieved is beyond ordinary. But one look at the features of the pipe tells us that it is no coincidence. PVC or Poly Vinyl Chloride Pipes are made to be versatile and consistently deliver the best performance. With the varied and premium quality product range of TRUFLO, you can now experience the best among the best.

The Enduring Legacy of PVC Piping in Water Distribution Projects

PVC pipes have been in use for over a century. Made of polyvinyl, a thermo softening plastic, PVC is used in a variety of applications. It is one of the most popular options for potable water distribution. It is cost-effective and easy to handle, adding to its popularity among contractors looking to build highly efficient and sustainable water distribution systems. PVC dominates our country’s municipal pipeline system and drainage systems.PVC dominates our country’s Municipal pipeline systems and drainage systems.

Safe, Strong, Sustainable: The Benefits of PVC Pipes You Didn’t Know

Take a look at some of the defining features of PVC. It is everything that you look for in an ideal piping system:

Afavourite feature of PVC for contractors and consumers alike is its resistance to corrosion. Unlike its traditional counterparts such as metal pipes, PVC resists corrosion under all weather conditions and constant exposure to moisture.
As PVC doesn’t yield to weather variations, the chances of leakage and water contamination are very low. PVCs are also odourless and hygienic. This makes them an ideal choice for potable water distribution.
No corrosion also means a low maintenance charge. Ideally PVCs last for around 60 years(as per IPEX Longevity Assessment&Vinyl Institute Findings), which is beyond the expected period for housing projects.This is hence a piping system that meets the value for money.
PVCs have a smooth internal surface when compared to other piping systems like cement and CI, GI pipes etc. This ensures a smoother and more efficient flow of water and lesser wastage of electric and mechanical energy.
PVC pipes promise safety not only with regard to water quality but also in their integration into buildings. PVCs have the quality ofself-extinguishing. They do not support combustion and hence do not cause or support fires.
All the above features of PVC come together in the product at very competitive market prices. PVC is economical in its purchase, transportation, installation,and repair. Hence it supports both small-scale housing projects and large water distribution projects.

Eco Meets Efficiency: PVC Pipes and the Push for Sustainable Plumbing

We live in a time when daily and easy access to clean water is considered a privilege. This privilege however should at any cost be not taken for granted. By choosing PVC you also contribute to the safekeeping of our resources. Here is how:

Get rid of the outdated piping infrastructure and shift to PVC which is highly resistant to corrosion to make sure that no drop of water is wasted through leaks or breaks in pipes.
The amount of waste produced during the installation of PVC is much lower. Owing to its stable good performance over a long time, no frequent replacements are needed,hence lowering the impact on the environment.
The unplasticized variety of PVC, commonly known as uPVC is manufactured using resins compounded with lubricants, and stabilizers. They are free of plasticizers which makes them an increasingly popular green choice.

Points of Consideration Before Choosing PVC

Like any other product with an impressive set of good qualities, PVCs also have limitations. But these are easily manageable situations for a well-informed contractor/consumer.

When installed by trained professionals and handled with care, PVC pipes offer excellent durability and long-term performance, minimizing the chances of installation-related issues.
PVCs are not ideal for transporting water at extremely high temperatures. It can usually withstand up to 60 °C which covers the usual needs of domestic and commercial projects. If the temperature goes beyond that, they may crack or melt.
