21 Nov.,2022

PVC hoses (also known as sanitary plastic hoses, plastic hoses, plastic corrugated hoses, food grade hoses, sanitary hoses, etc.) are widely used in water piping systems and gas piping systems. PVC hoses are designed to withstand damage from almost all corrosive chemicals and gases. So they can carry water for long periods of time without any problems, and using PVC materials for drinking water is not a health hazard!
PVC plastic is therefore an affordable choice for household plumbing. It is non-corrosive, flexible, and easy to install, and can be used for many different connections. However, PVC cannot withstand extreme heat, it melts and can have negative health effects.

1. What is PVC plastic?

 

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) was one of the first synthetic plastics to be discovered. PVC plastic can be used for items such as signage, flooring, window frames, and piping.

 

2. Applications of PVC plastic piping

 

PVC was one of the first plastic pipes used to replace old copper pipes, is affordable, will not rust or corrode over time, and is the most popular choice for piping. PVC plastic is easy to work with, requires no welding or metal work, is versatile, and can be used with many different fittings and sizes.
PVC pipe is usually white, but it is also available in different colors and thicknesses and is marked differently on the pipe for specific uses. PVC pipe is typically used for the sink, toilet, and bathtub drain lines, as well as main water supply lines, irrigation pipes, and exhaust pipes.

 

3. Limitations of PVC pipe

 

PVC plastic has many uses. While it is an excellent choice for most hot and cold water piping, PVC pipe cannot be used for hot water supplies. This is because PVC will begin to warp under extreme heating conditions and will degrade under UV light for extended periods of time, such as outdoors in the summer.
