Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) pipe has a unique combination of strength, durability, and versatility that has made it the most often installed water and sewer piping in the United States and Canada. The rise of PVC pipe to prominence can be attributed to its inherent suitability for handling both the physical/mechanical and chemical/environmental conditions associated with water and sewer infrastructure pipelines. PVC pipe does not corrode and is confirmed to last more than 100 years.
Compared to alternative types of piping, PVC pipe requires less energy to manufacture, transport, handle, install, and operate. PVC pipe is easier to install and can be joined to standard appurtenances without special connections or adaptor couplings. Properly installed PVC pipe requires little or no maintenance.
To better meet the growing needs of design engineers, pipe utility managers, engineering consultants, and students in the water/wastewater industry, this new 6th edition of the Handbook of PVC Pipe Design and Construction presents the latest information on the design and installation of PVC pipe. It is without question the most comprehensive and up-to-date reference on PVC pipe and fittings. This publication provides the most practical engineering, construction, and operations information applicable to underground PVC piping systems. Emphasis is placed on general principles, useful empirical rules, and practical design and installation procedures.
