Properties Of UPVC Pipes and Fittings from Wavin

Wavin is ranked among the top global manufacturers and suppliers of plastic pipes and fittings for sustainable water supply and management systems. Committed to providing innovative solutions, Wavin offers a comprehensive range of pipe materials which provide reliable efficiency. Among the different pipe materials offered by Wavin is unplasticized polyvinyl chloride or uPVC. A reliable and durable thermoplastic, uPVC has been widely used around the world in piping and plumbing applications. The uPVC pipe solutions from Wavin feature a number of characteristics that make them the preferred choice of engineers, architects and plumbers around the world. Read on to know about the properties of Wavin uPVC systems:

1.    Wavin uPVC pipes are extremely strong and durable. This is on account of the omission of additional plasticizing polymers which gives additional strength and rigidity to these pipes, thereby also giving them greater consistency.

2.    Wavin uPVC pipes and fittings show high resistance to several types of harsh chemicals, including acids and alkalies. This enhances their appeal for transport of chemicals and even sewage and potable water.

3.    Wavin uPVC sanitary pipe and fittings systems are made from lead-free components and are RoHS-compliant, which makes them well suited for the supply of potable water by reducing the risk of contamination.

4.    Since Wavin uPVC pipes and fittings are manufactured by omitting the addition of extra plasticizing polymers, and only virgin eco-friendly plasticized polymer compounds are used in their manufacture, they have become a suitable and sustainable option for plumbing.

5.    Wavin uPVC fittings and pipes are also extremely lightweight, and easy to install, without the need for electricity and fusion. Wavin uPVC fittings can be installed using screw joints with the use of a solvent cement.  

6.    Wavin uPVC pipes are also resistant to external weather conditions, particularly being resistant to be the ultraviolet radiation. This ensures that they retain their mechanical properties without losing their strength even under prolonged exposure to UV radiation.

7.    The smooth inner bore of Wavin uPVC pipes means that they do not affect the pressure at which liquids flow through them. Consequently, they are excellent for transporting water and other fluids at high pressures.

8.    Wavin uPVC pipes and fittings show lower thermal conductivity, which makes them more energy efficient and prevent the external temperature from affecting the material being transported within the pipes.

Important Applications of uPVC Pressure Pipes

Image
Since the middle of the twentieth century, when polyvinyl chloride was put into use for manufacturing an alternate to metal pipes to provide a non-rusting, corrosion resistant and leakproof solution for water pipelines, thermoplastics have become extremely popular for use in plumbing and sanitation networks. One of the modifications that PVC has undergone over the years is known as unplasticized PVC or uPVC. They have many useful properties which makes uPVC pressure pipes the specialized solutions for a number of applications. Listed below are some of the applications of UPVC pressure pipes:

Top Features Of UPVC Pipes And Fittings

Image
Among the many different types of plastic pipes which are widely used nowadays for plumbing and sanitation pipe networks, a popular one is unplasticized polyvinyl chloride or uPVC. It is a widely used plastic in construction, often used in constructing windows and door frames, but it is also used for thermoplastic pipes and fittings for use in plumbing applications. uPVC pipes and fittings have a number of features which make them most suitable for use in water-related systems. Here are some of the best features of these pipes and fittings: 1.        U PVC pipes, like other thermoplastic pipes, have strong resistance to most chemicals and are also resistant to the action of natural elements such as temperature and weather conditions, soil pH and vegetation growth or root action of plants. 2.        Unlike many other thermoplastic pipes and fittings, uPVC pipes and fittings are also resistant to harmful ultraviolet rays, which imparts...
