About PVC Valves
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) offers an erosion and corrosion resistant material suitable for a variety of residential, commercial, and industrial valve uses. CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) is a variant of PVC that is more flexible and can withstand higher temperatures. Both PVC and CPVC are lightweight yet rugged materials that are rust-proof, making them perfect for use in many water applications.
Valves made of PCV and CPVC are commonly used in chemical process, potable water, irrigation, water treatment and wastewater, landscaping, pool, pond, fire safety, brewing, and other food and beverage applications. They are a good low-cost solution for most flow control needs.
