What is a PVC Drain Pipe?
PVC drain pipe, or perhaps more generally, PVC pipe, is the ubiquitous white tube most often used in plumbing applications. It is typically used to allow water to pass from one location, such as a roof, to another location, such as a sewer or gutter. Polyvinyl chloride pipe, or PVC pipe, is more often used to remove water, rather than supply it for consumption. Still, despite PVC’s numerous benefits, including lower costs, and easier installation, according to the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF), copper pipe is actually the most commonly used piping in homes.
