PVC pipes
Synthetic drainage tubes
PVC pipes are tubes made from polyvinyl chloride, a durable plastic.
They're the white or gray pipes common in plumbing, drainage, and irrigation systems—lighter and cheaper than metal alternatives.
The plumber replaced the old copper with PVC pipes.
PVC has largely displaced other materials for residential water supply and waste lines.
