What are the advantages of using gasketed-joint PVC pipe?
Gasketed-joint PVC provides many advantages over other types of joining systems. The following is a brief summary: • Watertight Joints: Gasketed-joint PVC water and sewer pipe joints are virtually leak-free, enabling them to easily pass post-installation air tests or leakage tests. • Installation Considerations: Ease in installation is another advantage gasketed-joint PVC offers. Deep insertion, push-together gasketed joints are simple and easy to assemble, and can be filled, tested and placed in service immediately after assembly. • Thermal Expansion/Contraction: Gasketed-joint PVC provides an excellent allowance for thermal expansion and contraction of PVC pipelines.
