How to Choose the Right Pipes for Residential Plumbing2

A dependable residential plumbing system starts with selecting the right pipe for each application.

Match the pipe to the application

CPVC systems are commonly selected for hot and cold water lines, while uPVC and SWR systems serve water distribution and drainage requirements. Always confirm pressure, temperature, jointing method, and local installation conditions before selection.

Think beyond the initial cost

Consistent dimensions, quality fittings, correct solvent cement, and professional installation reduce leakage risk and maintenance over the life of the building.
