Advantages of PVC waste pipes are :

• Light weight of the PVC pipes makes them easy to use and install.
• These pipes are non-flammable makin them safe for use
• PVC waste pipes do not rust or corrode, so they have a long life.
• These pipes are leak-proof.
• The pressure is well-maintained in these pipes
• The surface of these pipes is smooth and shiny, making them resistant to deposition.
• Plastic PVC waste pipes are very strong and can sustain high pressure.
• They do not generate any noise
• These pipes are temperature resistant and do not crack easily.

TYPES OF WASTE PIPES :

Different types of waste pipes are available in the market . Waste pipes differ in material of their composition and sizes according to their application. Waste pipes also differ in the types of joints they have like Ring-fit pipes, solvent-fit pipes.

RING-FIT WASTE PIPES :

Ring-fit waste pipes incorporate a very simple to use rubber ring jointing system specially designed for easy, full-proof and cost effective installation. Installation is done by simple application of lubricant on the spigot side of the pipe or the fitting and pushing it inside the grooved socket end of the corresponding pipe or fitting. Ring-fit waste pipe does not require any solvent cementing, welding, soldering or threading for making the joints.

SOLVENT FIT WASTE PIPES:

Solvent-fit waste pipe jointed using solvent cement. On application of solvent cement on the pvc waste pipes, a thin layer of PVC is softened and once the spigot is inserted into the socket, the softened material intermixes forming a homogeneous joint. The solvent dries up quickly and the joint comes to its original rigid plastic state. Once joined, the system cannot be taken apart.
