Working With Piping
Introduction
Share | In this tutorial, you will learn how plastic piping is used, and how to measure, cut, and join plastic piping. Plastic piping comes in many varieties to address many uses. There are rigid plastic pipes, which come in Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC) and Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) varieties, as well as polybutylene or flexible plastic pipes. Before using plastic piping for any purpose in your home, you should check your local building codes to confirm that you may use plastic pipe, and which varieties are permitted for which applications.
