which type of pipes made up of cast or PVC?
Answers
Answer:
Given its overall durability, attractive price and consistent flow rates, we recommend going with PVC for residential sewer lines. If you need a more heavy-duty commercial line, need to comply with strict fire-stopping regulations or want the quietest possible plumbing system, cast iron is a great choice.
Answer:
Cost vs. performance is often a primary debate when an owner or developer is deciding on material selection for their building. Decades ago, the debate on drainage pipe material selection was oftentimes not a debate at all. Cast Iron was the primary drainage material utilized for most all construction.
In recent times, PVC has become a very viable option for use in both residential and commercial construction. Cost and ease of use is often the justification for this selection. However, it’s important to discuss the pros and cons of each drainage piping material with the building owner before making a selection.
