PVC Tubing

A reliable source for PVC Tubing information and leading PVC Tubing Companies & Manufacturers.

PVC, which stands for polyvinyl chloride, has increasingly replaced metal piping and tubing. Due to its strength, longevity, ease of installation, and low cost, PVC is among the most widely used plastics in the world. Square, rectangular, and cylindrical PVC tubes are just a few available shapes. Read More…

PVC Tubing PVC tubing products are hollow channels that are used for the transportation of gasses, liquids and some granular or free-flowing solids. PVC is short for polyvinyl chloride, and PVC tubes are derivatives of raw vinyl.

However, most people instinctively picture a circular piece of material when they think about tubing (pipes). Round PVC tubes are utilized in a wide range of applications, but moving fluids account for most of their use, and with good reason. PVC tubing is produced by extruding PVC as the raw material, and the process generally follows that of a standard pipe extrusion operation.

Types of PVC Tubing

Square PVC Tubing

Square tubing performs better in some applications, although its shape doesn't encourage the notion that it is a tube. Square tubing's flat sides make it simple to attach fasteners and other items. It can also be constructed to be considerably smaller and closer to the surrounding objects, taking up less room. The PVC square tube is simple to produce and bind and has numerous industrial applications.

Flexible PVC Tubing

Flexible PVC tubing is a very versatile and affordable tube option. Typically, this is a clear PVC tube with a great flow rate and the advantage of complete transparency of the contents. In addition, they have excellent abrasion, corrosion, and chemical resistance levels, are flexible, and may be used with food, alcohol, oils, and chemicals. Other benefits of this tube include its resilience to abrasion, corrosion, and chemicals, its high flexibility, and its low toxicity composition, which gives no flavor or odor to the contents it transports.

Clear Flexible PVC Tubing

PVC-U Tubing

Unplasticized is what the "U" in PVC-U stands for. This “U” indicates that the plasticizer, a solvent added to PVC to make it flexible and less brittle, is not present in these PVC tubes. PVC-U is frequently referred to as stiff PVC because it doesn't contain this component. It is used to transfer both wastewater and potable water. They are 100% recyclable and light, making them convenient to handle, long-lasting, and economical.

PVC-U Pipes

PVC-O Tubing

PVC-O is molecularly oriented PVC. PVC-O acquires a layered structure throughout this production process, increasing its corrosion resistance. As a result, PVC-O has an ideal stiffness, strength, and flexibility ratio, making it advantageous for pressure pipes for drinking water, irrigation, and sewer pumping mains due to its high hydraulic capacity and longevity.

PVC-O Types

C-PVC Tubing

The traits of C-PVC are identical to those of PVC-U. It has great corrosion resistance and is designed to deliver drinking water. This type of PVC pipe is unique because it can endure a broader range of temperatures than conventional PVC due to chlorination. C-PVC is frequently employed in both residential and commercial construction as a result.

C-PVC Pipes

PVC-Hi Tubing

PVC-Hi, or high-impact PVC tubes, are regular PVC tubes modified to increase their resistance to outside impacts. It typically consists of a blend of materials, including PVC, to boost its durability. It must be resilient over the long term and capable of working well under duress. Before a tube can be formally referred to as PVC-Hi, it must adhere to several criteria and laws. This tube is primarily used to transmit highly volatile natural gas, so it must adhere to numerous restrictions.

Applications of PVC Tubing

  • The water supply sector uses PVC pipes extensively. The majority of the main water pipelines are made of PVC tubes. In addition, PVC pipes are used in both extensive irrigation systems and sanitary sewer networks.
  • PVC tubes are used in plumbing, drainage, agricultural irrigation, power & telecommunications systems, and the ductwork of heating and cooling systems in home and commercial settings.
  • Utility companies employ underground PVC pipes with bigger diameters and thicker walls to bring drinking water to a network of homes and businesses.
  • To transport hot water, heating, ventilation, and cooling systems employ C-PVC tubes. Likewise, these PVC pipes transport cold water in HVAC systems.

Benefits of PVC Tubing

  • PVC tubes are the preferred method for transporting water and power in many industries. The major reasons for their widespread use are their strong resistance to heat and corrosion.
  • Compared to concrete and metal, PVC has less friction because of its smooth surface. As a result, it is a desirable material for pipelines that transport water.
  • It is portable and simple to move over long areas to lay pipes.
  • Since a relatively straightforward procedure is employed for its mass manufacture, it is cost-effective.
  • It is resilient to high levels of stress and robust and long-lasting. This trait qualifies it as a good material for underground pipes and pipes carrying pressured fluids.
  • PVC's inertness, or resistance to chemical interactions with other compounds, is a beneficial chemical feature. As a result, drinking water and water used for household purposes can now be transported without risk.
