  • 1 lb = 0.4536 kg
  • 1 ft (foot) = 0.3048 m
  • 1 in (inch) = 25.4 mm

PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride

  • strong and rigid
  • resistant to a variety of acids and bases
  • may be damaged by some solvents and chlorinated hydrocarbons
  • maximum usable temperature 140oF (60oC)
  • usable for water, gas and drainage systems
  • not useable in hot water systems

CPVC - Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride

  • similar to PVC - but designed for water up to 180oF (82oC)
