Plastic Pipe
Item Name Code (INC) 21439
![]() |
A tubular product formed from plastic material. The nominal pipe size and outside diameter conform to iron pipe size designators or the dimensions conform to Standard Thermoplastic Pipe Dimensions Ratio (SDR) Tables. It may have threaded ends or the ends may be capable of being formed by heating. For items not conforming to these dimensioning criteria, see TUBING, NONMETALLIC.
Additional Information for Plastic Pipe
Plastic pipes are a type of pipe made from various types of plastic materials. They are commonly used in plumbing, irrigation, and other fluid transportation systems. Plastic pipes are lightweight, durable, and resistant to corrosion, making them a popular choice for many applications.
There are several types of plastic pipes available, including:
1. PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) Pipe: PVC pipes are one of the most commonly used types of plastic pipes. They are rigid, strong, and resistant to chemicals, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.
2. CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) Pipe: CPVC pipes are similar to PVC pipes but have additional chlorine content, which enhances their heat resistance. They are commonly used for hot water distribution systems.
3. PEX (Cross-linked Polyethylene) Pipe: PEX pipes are flexible and easy to install. They are commonly used for plumbing systems, particularly for water supply lines.
4. HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) Pipe: HDPE pipes are known for their high strength and durability. They are commonly used for underground water and gas distribution systems.
5. ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) Pipe: ABS pipes are lightweight and resistant to impact, making them suitable for drainage and sewer systems.
These are just a few examples of plastic pipes available in the market. The choice of plastic pipe depends on the specific application requirements, such as the type of fluid being transported, the temperature and pressure conditions, and the installation method.
