Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) pipe has a unique combination of strength, durability, and versatility that has made it the most often installed water and sewer piping in the United States and Canada. The rise of PVC pipe to prominence can be attributed to its inherent suitability for handling both the physical/mechanical and chemical/environmental conditions associated with water and sewer infrastructure pipelines. PVC pipe does not corrode and is confirmed to last more than 100 years.

Compared to alternative types of piping, PVC pipe requires less energy to manufacture, transport, handle, install, and operate. PVC pipe is easier to install and can be joined to standard appurtenances without special connections or adaptor couplings. Properly installed PVC pipe requires little or no maintenance.

To better meet the growing needs of design engineers, pipe utility managers, engineering consultants, and students in the water/wastewater industry, this new 6th edition of the Handbook of PVC Pipe Design and Construction presents the latest information on the design and installation of PVC pipe. It is without question the most comprehensive and up-to-date reference on PVC pipe and fittings. This publication provides the most practical engineering, construction, and operations information applicable to underground PVC piping systems. Emphasis is placed on general principles, useful empirical rules, and practical design and installation procedures.

Unique Features
  • Three New Chapters: In-depth technical guidance on Health & Safety, Sustainability, and Asset Management, addressing critical and emerging industry topics.
  • Thoroughly Revised Content: All chapters have been reorganized and expanded to provide more information on PVC pipe and fittings.
  • Updated Standards and References: Includes the latest AWWA and ASTM standards information, with all chapter references revamped to incorporate the latest research and findings on PVC pipe.
  • User-Friendly Calculations: Presented in US Customary units with conversion tables for Syst?me International (SI) as well as guidance on utilizing new online design calculators.

The PVC Pipe Association (PVCPA) is a non-profit organization that has represented North American manufacturers of PVC pipe for water, sewer, and irrigation applications since 1971. The Association publishes technical publications, sponsors research, and recommends standards on PVC piping systems which are recognized throughout the world. PVCPA's mission is to promote use of longer-life, lower-maintenance, corrosion-proof PVC pipe in water and wastewater systems for real sustainability, strength, and long-term asset management.
