Article Introduction Before connecting the PVC pipe to the fittings, it is crucial to measure the length of the PVC pipe correctly, which will affect whether the pipe can maintain a tight fit when inserted into the fittings. Next, let’s go through the following article to introduce how to measure the length of PVC pipe between fittings. For relevant knowledge about PVC pipes and fittings, you can also contact us directly for consultation. What Is PVC Pipe And When Should You Use It? PVC stands for Polyvinyl Chloride, and it’s a plastic material that’s commonly used in plumbing and construction. It’s lightweight, durable, and easy to install, making it a popular choice for DIY enthusiasts and professionals. You should use…
Article Introduction When choosing the plumbing system, picking the right type of pipes and fittings system is essential for ensuring the efficiency and safety of your system. For both residential and commercial plumbing, the two most common types of pipes used are UPVC pipe and CPVC pipe. Before deciding on a material to use for a project, it’s crucial to understand the distinctions between them.

UPVC is Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride while CPVC…
Article Introduction People often wonder, what is the difference between PVC pipe and fittings vs CPVC pipe and fittings? Is PVC a less expensive alternative? Can I replace one with the other? Are the fittings the same size? How different can they be? In reality, these two materials are quite different. We’ll start with a little bit of chemistry and then describe the various uses of each material.Let’s learn about their differences in this article. ARTICLE CONTENT The Chemistry of PVC vs CPVC PVC vs CPVC pipe & fittings Pressure Ratings PVC Defined PVC Solvent Welding Common Uses of PVC pipe fitting CPVC Defined Common Uses of CPVC pipe fitting Summary About SAM-UK The Chemistry of PVC vs CPVC Both…
Article Introduction If your threaded PVC pipes and fittings were not glued together with solvent cement, or if the solvent cement has not yet cured, you may be able to separate your PVC fairly easily. once solvent cement has been applied and allowed to cure, separating your threaded PVC pipes and fittings can be more challenging. Before you break out the hacksaw, though, there are some alternatives that may do the trick. Threaded PVC pipes and fittings are designed to create a tight seal when connected. This makes it much more challenging to separate two pieces of the PVC pipe. There are two instances, though, where loosening threaded PVC fittings can be done fairly easily. One situation is if glue hasn’t…
Article Introduction If you’re a plumber or enjoy DIY projects, it’s essential to understand the different products and materials you’re working with. For instance, it’s common with plumbing projects to run into situations where you must combine different materials. One of these most frequent occurrences is when you need to use PVC fittings with CPVC pipe. However, this begs the question of whether you can combine these two materials. Although PVC and CPVC are two different types of pipe, they’re similar enough that for non-pressure applications, PVC pipe fittings are compatible with CPVC pipe. However, it’s essential to use the correct type of glue or cement and to use pipe and fittings that are compatible in size. Otherwise, you risk…
Article Introduction (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) CPVC pipe fittings are used in plumbing systems to connect pipes, change their direction, or connect pipelines to other components. They are made from durable, long-lasting materials that are resistant to chemicals, heat, and pressure, making them a good choice for residential and commercial plumbing, fire sprinkler systems, and potable water supply ARTICLE CONTENT What is CPVC Benefits of CPVC pipes and fittings Connection of cpvc pipes and fittings How to install CPVC Pipes and fittings About SAM-UK 1. What is CPVC Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) is a strong thermoplastic that’s suitable for temperatures of up to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. This property makes CPVC pipe a common choice for both hot- and cold-water applications in…
Article Introduction The type of glue you use to join PVC pipe & fittings is called “solvent weld,” and these two words tell you the reason why it’s 99 percent impossible to separate pvc pipes and pipe fitting once they are glued together. This type of glue isn’t a surface coating; it’s a PVC solvent that actually melts plastic. When you spread this glue on a pair of pipes and join them, the melted plastic of both pipes hardens into a single piece. This makes trying to unglue a joint a bit like trying to unbake a cookie. When they need to repair a pvc pipe fittings joint, which is common, plumbers usually cut out the joint and install a new…
Article Introduction Inexpensive, durable, and easy to work with, PVC pipes & pipe fittings are used for all kinds of applications, from plumbing for homes and commercial buildings to water lines for irrigating gardens and farms.
