PVC pipe

Plastic plumbing conduit

PVC pipe is rigid plastic tubing made from polyvinyl chloride, used primarily for plumbing, drainage, and irrigation.

It's lightweight, inexpensive, and resistant to corrosion, making it the standard choice for residential water supply and sewage lines: The plumber replaced the old copper with PVC pipe.

The white pipes are ubiquitous in hardware stores and home construction.
