Its greater strength, the ease of attaching fittings, and high pressure operating capabilities are just a few reasons. Most PVC pipe comes in lengths of 20&#8242; and one end of the pipe has a bell end that can be glued to the next joint of pipe. PVC pipe is also somewhat flexible and can be laid in a gradual curve if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some advantages PVC has over other types of pipe are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The smooth walls of the PVC pipe means it will have less friction loss than other piping like galvanized pipe.<\/li><li>PVC pipe is strong and durable despite its lightweight.<\/li><li>PVC pipe is a non conductor of electricity and is immune to chemical corrosion that affects other types of metallic piping.<\/li><li>Ease of installation. No threading is required when installing PVC pipe.<\/li><li>Cost. PVC is more than competitive with other types of piping on the market.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Pros &#8211; For me it&#8217;s ease of use. If I have 3\/4&#8243; and 1&#8243; PVC pipe on my truck and a few fittings, there aren&#8217;t many sprinkler repairs that I can&#8217;t make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cons &#8211; Compared to galvanized, poly, and even rainjet piping, there are no cons for PVC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>iScaper Rating &nbsp; PVC (PolyVinylChloride) is the preferred pipe in most sprinkler systems.
