PVC, CPVC or uPVC: which pipe suits the job?
Understand the application first, then match the pipe and fittings as one compatible system.
Match material to application
Cold-water supply, hot-water service, drainage and rainwater lines do different jobs. Do not select pipe by colour or size alone.
Keep fittings compatible
Use fittings, solvent cement and valves intended for the selected pipe system. Mixing incompatible materials can weaken joints and complicate future repairs.
Bring the essential details
Share the application, pipe diameter, approximate run, number of outlets and required fittings. For replacement work, a clear photo or sample helps accurate matching.
