for drain, waste, and vent applications
As the leading full-line manufacturer of ABS pipe and fittings and PVC
pipe and fittings for drainage systems, Charlotte Pipe is a one-stop source
for all plastic plumbing pipes. We are the only company that makes drain pipe and
fittings to the same TrueFit® tolerances, resulting in easier installation, fewer
callbacks, and a lifetime of trouble-free service.
Advantages of PVC and ABS piping systems
For complete information on Charlotte Pipe's ABS and PVC pipe and fittings systems
for drain, waste, and vent applications, request our
Plastics Technical Manual, free of charge at our online Store.
Easy to Install
ABS and PVC pipe and fittings systems are lightweight – approximately one-half the
weight of aluminum and one-sixth the weight of steel – reducing transportation,
handling, and installation costs. They have smooth seamless interior walls. They
require no special tools for cutting, and are installed with solvent cementing,
threading, flanging, and roll-grooved joining.
Strong
ABS and PVC pipe and fittings systems are highly durable with high tensile and high
impact strength.
Freedom from Toxicity, Odors, Tastes
ABS and PVC pipe and fittings systems are non-toxic, odorless, and tasteless. The
National Sanitation Foundation lists PVC for use with drinking water.
Corrosion-free Externally and Internally
ABS and PVC pipe and fittings create no corrosive by-products, and therefore, no
contamination of piped fluid.
Immune to Galvanic or Electrolytic Attack
ABS and PVC pipe and fittings can be used underground, underwater, in the presence
of metals, and can be connected to metals.
Resistant to Fire
PVC piping systems are self extinguishing and will not support combustion however, PVC does not meet the 25/50 flame and smoke requirement for plenum applications. ABS piping systems also do not meet the 25/50 flame and smoke requirement for plenum applications.
Low Friction Loss
The smooth interior surfaces of ABS and PVC pipe and fittings assure low friction
loss and high flow rate. Because ABS and PVC pipe and fittings do not rust, pit,
scale, or corrode, the high flow rate continues for the life of the piping system.
Low Thermal Conductivity
ABS and PVC pipe and fittings have a much lower thermal conductivity factor than
metal pipe. This ensures that fluids maintain a more constant temperature.
Cost-effective
The many advantages of ABS and PVC plumbing products ensure a lower installed cost
than for other piping systems.
Maintenance-free
ABS and PVC pipe and fittings systems do not rust, pit, scale, corrode, or promote
build-up on the system interior. Years of trouble-free service can be expected.
