PVC piping

White plumbing tubes

PVC piping is tubing made from polyvinyl chloride, a durable plastic used in plumbing, drainage, and irrigation systems.

The white or gray pipes connect with fittings and solvent cement, making them easy to install without specialized tools.

PVC has largely replaced metal pipes for cold water and waste lines in residential construction: We ran PVC piping to the new bathroom.
