Poly Vinyl Chloride pipe; the most common pipe used in irrigation systems.
A type of smooth wall thermoplastic pipe manufactured using Poly Vinyl Chloride, which is widely accepted for drainage applications due to its cost, longevity, and application.

Polyvinyl chloride pipe used mainly for drain lines and particularly resistant to chemicals.
Polyvinyl chloride, a lightweight, resilient, chemical resistant, strong and durable thermoplastics, with an long lifespan, made into piping which is often used for cold water systems and where chemicals are found. There is bell and spigot pipe, with a bell on one end, which has an internal elastomer seal to hold the lubricated plain end of the next piece of pipe, by making a fluid-tight joint. Solvent cement joint pipe joins the ends by applying a primer to soften the surface of the material, with the solvent cement being applied to the pipe end and the inside of the fitting end, then inserting the pipe into the fitting using a twisting motion to spread the solvent cement. The cement cures rapidly and the joints fuse together.
