PVC, UPVC, and CPVC seem similar to the casual observer because they are all made from the same material called Polyvinyl chloride, but there are slight chemical differences in the manufacturing process that set them apart from each other.

WELL DONE MATE !!!
best description ever !
I was looking for a PVC type of plastic, safe for hydroponics. I think you answered my question and according to some other areas around the web, may go with uPVC. Thank you for the information!
We are manufacturer in China, my E-mail is : sales6@tomex.com.cn
That's exactly me
How it comes! PVC recommended to not be used for over 140 F = 60 C
Here in Saudi Arabia as you know in summer the normal water main can reached to 60C easily... And when it gets to the water tank and circulate through the building...
Also for the water heaters! We used PVC to carry the hot water 😬
Well presented. Very useful. Thanks 👍
Very informative thank you
If you live in a city or suburb that has any rat population, or if you live in a rural area with field mice, voles, or packrats, PEX can, and will, be chewed on by any of these rodents. Most every home in my rural area that has recently been built using PEX lines is now experiencing major problems with leaks due to the recent explosion of rodents after our very wet winter and spring. I considered PEX for some remodel work until I discovered this by speaking with several of my neighbors. I will be staying with copper because of this problem. Higher cost initially, but better peace of mind in the long run.
They can chew your electrical wires like the standard romex, so are you going to re-wire your house and run steel conduit and use metal boxes?
Very informative. Thanks.
Very informative ℹ Thanks!
Thanks for this video on xqc!
Such a help! Much appreciated!
If PEX didn't leech solvents for a year, I’d be all for it. Potential health issues aside, it makes water taste particularly nasty, being almost undrinkable (at least by me) for about 6 mos and just offputting for another six.
Was that pex A or pex B? pex A does leach a lot more than B
@@stevem1081 Couldn’t tell you which. It’s been like 20 years and the house has been demolished so I can’t go check unfortunately.
Great video. Thanks!
Great video. Good information.
Pex is new way Sioux Chief!

Thank you

Hi!!very interesting explanations....i have a problem with my house ac drain lines that is located in my attic...the lines are pvc pipes and every year it breaks ..crack..in winter i gues because the so low temperatures. And in summer for the extreme hot temperatures in my attic..so my question is what kind of pipe can we use to avoid this to happen????
Try ppr pipe (hot and cold)
What about ppr pipes. Are they strong compared pvc?
Tell'em how blue PEX is going to Blow out 2-3 years after installation and ruin their house !
I have a project that I need input: ABS vs PVC
I want to build a water holding system for taking a shower on top of my small camping trailer. Most DIY videos use ABS due to its color absorbing heat, but I am concerned about warping in sunlight which is exactly the reason this black pipe is used for this project in the first place. Another concern is that ABS is stiffer and the joints may start leaking from bouncing around going down the road. Of course PVC can be painted but I am concerned with the joints coming apart from trailering vibrations. Another concern is which will hold pressure better? Most pressurize their systems to about 30 PSI. Suggestions of one over the other and why please?
pvc joints are somewhat cold welded when you "glue" them, therefore you will not have issues with leaks, same with abs if you join them this way, you will not have issues with the joints leaking if they are done right. a properly joined connection with this method will not come apart, even if you tried to. however pvc will soften more with heat, possibly weakining the joint, as far as i know abs is more resistant to this
Which pvc is good for gas lines?
PVC Pipes
PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride - pipes may be used in pipelines buried outside a building.
PE Pipes
PE - Polyethylene - pipes may be used in pipelines buried outside a building.
It is a good replacement
Pex
So what do you use if you want to conncet pvc to cpvc??
He just said, its not recommended.
So schedule 40 PVC is okay for underground potable water supply? thank you
We use pex in the ground. PVC sucks
is there a significant difference between the type of white/blue/red pex used in household applications for potable water compared to the orange pex used for radiant floor heat?
I'm curious to know if the cheaper, orange pex is still good for potable water.
While Orange PEX pipe is an oxygen barrier PEX pipe used for hydronic heating applications it can still be used for portable water.
Shark bite fittings cost a fortune.
Can CPVC be heating to bend ?
If you want a leak later.
@@buckshot6481 so UPVC can be heating to bend without leaking later?
Pex
Is PEX good for hula hoops vs PVC?
PVC's probably better, based on my research
Thank u! 💐
PEX is not UV resistance..
Sof-Ten , sol-Der?
Sol-der? I didn’t know you were British. 🙂
