When it comes to pipes,

These pipes are made of different materials including glass, ceramic, plastic, metal, and concrete etc. Among these different pipes, the plastic drainage pipes are used in large numbers. There are numerous reasons behind the popularity of plastic pipes. The plastic material has excellent qualities and attributes that make it popular among all other types of pipes. These properties are increased durability, non-corrosiveness, chemical resistance, light weight, and easy malleability etc which makes it comfortable to install these pipes more easily.
There are various areas where these plastic drainage pipes are used such as drinking water distribution and waste water drainage system. The different types of plastics used are polyvinyl chloride, chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, fiber reinforced plastic, polypropylene and polyethylene. There is a great need of carefulness during the installation of these pipes as a single mistake can make the worse of the whole situation.
The plastic drainage pipes are more prone to damage so it is important to ensure all precautions during the installation. Plastic pipes are tend to expand and shrink, so workers are advised to either mount the pipes and make use of metal scrapping in the form of ‘plumber’s tape’ to make them adjust in size and space.
Plastic pipes are weather resistant so they can be used in extreme hot or cold conditions and serve the community for long. Avoid putting heavy load as they tend to getting damages quickly. Plastic is tends to expand in hot conditions so it is advised to maintain some gap in the joint of two pipes. The pipes should be protected from nails by fitting them with pre-punched and nail-on steel straps along with installing hammer resistors and air chambers at each and every joint.
Since 1978 ‘AQUA’ have supplied the rail industry with a comprehensive range of drainage systems. Slotted
plastic drainage pipes were later followed by plastic catch-pits.
