Plastic Pipes

Plastic Pipes

AWWA plastic pipe standards cover a variety of plastic chemicals in the application of transporting water, such as PVC, polyethylene, polyethylene-aluminum-polyethylene, PEX pressure tubing, polyvinyl chloride, and fiberglass in many different form factors and dimensions. The different pipe materials apply to above ground and below ground for many applications from fire hydrants to plumbing, and each standard goes over testing and physical requirements for each.
