Article Introduction Understanding irrigation pipe sizes is essential when you are working with PVC pipes. Every PVC pipe is measured in different ways using different metrics, and knowing how to understand these measurements is essential in finding and using the right sized pipes. Irrigation systems are used everywhere, from residential and commercial gardens, backyards, golf courses, and farms among others. Given the broad and many uses of irrigation pipes, it would be beneficial to learn more about their specificities. Regardless of use, whether you’re a plumber, builder, irrigator, or even an auto mechanic speak a similar language. Irrigation pipes are measured based on their diameter, thickness and the thickness of the pipe wall. This information is used to connect PVC…
Article Introduction In daily life, if PVC drain pipes are not glued without pressure, they may not leak in a short period of time, but they will definitely leak after long-term use. This is because the contact parts of the PVC water pipe and the joint cannot fit perfectly, and there must be certain gaps. The role of glue is to fill these gaps, make the joint surface sealed without gaps, and connect the PVC water pipe and the joint into a whole through the bonding force of the glue, so as to withstand the pressure of internal and external liquids and gases and prevent leakage. Through the following article, you can have an in-depth understanding of the relevant content…
Article Introduction When it comes to plastic pipe fittings, PVC is the first word that comes to most people’s minds these days. PVC pipe fittings have been in use for over 50 years since their first manufacture. Plastics offer several advantages over metal pipes. PVC pipes are the first choice for plastic pipes and fittings. Also known as PolyvinylChloride, PVC is one of the most common thermoplastic polymers used all over the world. It is naturally white and very fragile plastic before the addition of plasticizers. PVC is generally produced in two forms a rigid or unplasticized polymer and another as a flexible plastic. PVC pipe fabrication involves shaping and assembling PVC pipes using techniques like cutting, welding, bending, and…
Article Introduction When it comes to pvc pipes and fittings, a tight connection between pvc pipes is crucial. Without the right bonding, your home could suffer from leaks, flooding, and water damage. Thankfully, joining PVC plastic pipes is easy and quick as long as you’re accurate and use the right glue, tools, and techniques. In the following article, we’ll teach you how to bond PVC pipes and help you avoid common mistakes! What is PVC pipe PVC stands for polyvinyl chloride. Like PEX pipe, PVC is a type of plastic. However, PVC has many specific benefits that set it apart and make it ideal for home plumbing, including: High chemical inertness, or resistance to chemical reactions, making it ideal to…
Article Introduction PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) pipes are widely used in both residential and industrial applications due to their durability, affordability, and resistance to corrosion. Despite these benefits, PVC pipes can sometimes experience unwanted movement or shaking. This issue often arises from water pressure changes, mechanical vibrations, or thermal expansion. If left unaddressed, PVC pipe shaking can lead to excessive noise, wear and tear, and even damage to the piping system over time. In this article, we will explore the common causes of PVC pipe shaking and provide practical solutions how to keep PVC Pipe from shaking. Causes of PVC Pipe Shaking Understanding the causes of PVC pipe shaking is crucial for implementing effective solutions. Below are some of the most…
Article Introduction Cutting pvc pipe is a relatively easy task, but you’ll need the right tools to make a clean cut, CPVC and PVC are common types of rigid plastic pipe commonly used in home plumbing systems. The tools and techniques used to cut and prepare these pipes are similar. This guide outlines how to cut PVC pipe by choosing the best and safest methods based on the different PVC pipe sizes ! Choose Your Pipe 1. PVC pipe：Use PVC pipe for cold water, irrigation, main gas lines and drain-waste vents. PVC can become brittle with sun exposure. It’s available in 10-foot and 20-foot lengths that range from 1/2- to 6-inch diameters. Connect lengths for longer stretches with primer and…
Article Introduction In everyday life people often wonder, what is the difference between PVC and CPVC pipes and fittings? Is PVC a cheaper alternative? Can I substitute one for the other? Are the fittings the same size? How different will they be? The truth is, the two materials are quite different. We will start with some chemistry and then describe the various uses of each. PVC or UPVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) and UPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride) are synonyms. PVC is essentially a rigid material that uses plasticizers to make it softer. In this article, we will focus on the differences between UPVC and CPVC. What is PVC? & What is PVC pipe Used For ? The full form of PVC pipe…
Article Introduction Removing a PVC pipe fitting can be a relatively straightforward process, depending on the type of fitting and how it is connected to the pipe. When you need to repair or replace a section of PVC pipe or fittings, you may need to remove the attached pipe fittings to replace them, unfortunately, you can’t remove PVC. However, there are other solutions. Through this article, we will show you how to remove glued-on PVC pipe fittings !

Article Introduction Pipe fittings, also known as pipe connectors, attach one pipe to another in order to lengthen the run or change the flow direction in a plumbing system. These are used to combine, divert or reduce the flow of the water supply, and they come in a variety of sizes to fit the pipe they will connect. Pipe fittings’ dimensions are important, and there are sizing standards to follow. While most have openings of the same size on each end, some fittings are designed with different-sized openings and serve as the transition from one size pipe to another. Types of pipe and their purposes PVC: PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) pipe is one of the most widely used piping materials in…
ARTICLE CONTENT Connect PVC Pipe and Fittings with pvc cement Connect PVC pipe and Fittings with Screw Assembly Notes Connecting PVC Pipe and Fittings with pvc cement Connecting PVC pipes to fittings using PVC cement is not simply a matter of “gluing”; it’s actually a welding process. PVC cement effectively melts the plastic surfaces, and within approximately 30 seconds, it forms a permanent bond, fusing them together. This welding technique is advantageous as it transforms your PVC components into a unified, robust structure, enhancing their strength as a cohesive unit. FOR EXTERNAL FITTINGS Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to effectively connect PVC pipe and fitting using PVC cement: 1.Conduct a Test-Fit. Before applying any cement, perform a test-fit to…
