Your Ultimate PVC Pipe Catalog for Home Improvement

Here is a comprehensive PVC pipe catalog for home improvement:

1. PVC Electrical Conduit Pipes134:

• Light Duty (Type 205): Thinner-walled and suitable for general low-load electrical wiring applications in homes where the wire protection requirements are not extremely high.

• Medium Duty (Type 305): Offers more durability and is appropriate for areas with moderate levels of stress or where there may be some potential for physical impact.

• Heavy Duty (Type 405): Has the thickest walls and is used in situations where there is a higher risk of damage, such as in industrial or commercial settings, but may also be used in some high-demand home improvement projects where extra protection is needed.

• Sizes: Commonly available in nominal diameters such as 16mm, 20mm, 25mm, 32mm, and 40mm. The 16mm size is often used for individual electrical wires in light circuits, while 20mm or 25mm may be used for groups of wires or as the main conduit in a room.

2. PVC Plumbing Pipes4:

• Schedule 40: This is a standard type of PVC plumbing pipe with a moderate wall thickness. It is suitable for most general-purpose plumbing applications in homes, including both water supply and drainage, where the pressure and stress levels are within the pipe's capacity.

• Schedule 80: Has a thicker wall compared to Schedule 40, providing greater strength and pressure resistance. It is often used in applications where higher pressures are expected, such as in areas with high water pressure or in industrial settings. However, for typical home improvement projects, Schedule 40 is usually sufficient, and Schedule 80 may be overkill in terms of cost and installation complexity.

• 20mm, 25mm, 32mm, 40mm, 50mm, and 63mm are common sizes for PVC water supply pipes in homes. Smaller diameters like 20mm and 25mm may be used for branch lines to individual fixtures such as faucets or toilets, while larger diameters are used for the main water supply lines within the house.

• Sizes for Water Supply:

• Sizes for Drainage: For drainage systems, sizes such as 40mm, 50mm, 75mm, 90mm, 110mm, 160mm, and 200mm are available. 40mm and 50mm pipes are typically used for small sinks or showers, 75mm and 90mm for bathroom drains, and 110mm or larger for main sewer lines or large-volume drainage areas like laundry rooms.

• Types:

3. PVC Irrigation Pipes:

• Sizes: Come in various diameters to suit different irrigation needs, such as 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch, 1 inch, and larger sizes for main irrigation lines. The choice of size depends on the area to be irrigated, the water flow requirements, and the pressure of the water source.

• Features: These pipes are designed to withstand outdoor conditions and are often made with UV-resistant materials to prevent degradation from sunlight. They may also have special connectors and fittings to ensure a tight and leak-proof connection for the irrigation system.

4. PVC Trim and Molding Pipes:

• Uses: Used for decorative purposes around windows, doors, baseboards, and other areas where a finished look is desired. They can cover gaps, provide a smooth transition between different surfaces, and add a decorative element to the interior of a home.

• Sizes and Shapes: Available in different profiles such as corner moldings, baseboard moldings, and chair rail moldings. The sizes can vary depending on the specific design and application, but common widths range from 1/2 inch to several inches.
