PVC -PIPE
(OP)
Dear Gentlemen:
I am planning to use U-PVC pipe in lieu of DI pipe for a sewage traetment plant in hot climate area. I am aware that there are pressure rated U-PVC pipes and C-PVC pipes can be used.Also, U-PVC cannot be exposed to sun where as C-PVC can be.
In addition to the above characteristic nature of the PVC pipe, Is there any other problem which I need to consider if I use U-PVC pipe in lieu of Ductile Iron pipe?
Your suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
JR

RE: PVC -PIPE
The uv problem can be overcome by painting the pipe.
another plastic you could also look into is abs but cost might be an issue.
ps - u stands for unplasticized pvc what does c stand for?

Thanks for the respond. C-PVC stands for Chlorinated PVC pipe.

PVC pipe is normally not as forgiving of poor pipe bedding as D.I. pipe.
