Lightweight & Cost-Effective
The Industry’s Modern Material Solution
PVC is not only one of the world’s most sustainable materials, but it’s also faster to install, easier to handle and less expensive to transport than Ductile Iron.
Long-Lasting Materials
Designed to Last For 100+ Years
PVC is a reliable material. When properly designed and installed, PVC products can last 100 years—and that’s a conservative estimate.
Corrosion-Resistant & Non-Toxic
Designed to Protect Water Quality
PVC is corrosion-resistant & non-toxic, which helps prevent tuberculation (tuberculated ductile iron pipe pictured) and encrustation, ensuring the PVC pipe maintains its smooth surface and full inside diameter for unrestricted water flow and transmission. Additionally, Westlake Pipe & Fittings PVC products do not adversely affect the taste or color of potable water.
PVC Sustainability
- Sustainable: PVC is not only among the world’s most sustainable products, it also requires less energy and fewer resources to manufacture than old-technology materials.
- Durable: PVC is a long-lasting material featuring a design life of up to 100+ years, reducing the need for frequent system replacements.
- Cost Effective: The durability and longevity of PVC help reduce maintenance and replacement costs, while innovative installation techniques and increased hydraulic efficiency can further reduce construction and pumping costs, respectively.
