end of this reducing bush.
PVC (or PVCU) is one of the most widely used plastics in general industry. Its ease of installation,
rigidity, WRAS approval, and low price point compared to many other plastics makes it ideal for
applications such as:
- Factories and general process industries
- Swimming pools and spas
- Aquaculture, hydroponics, and aquaponics
- Agriculture and irrigation
- Water processing and treatment
In addition, PVC pipe also finds its way into many domestic applications, including:
- Salt and freshwater aquaria
- Ponds and water features
- Home pools, hot tubs, and spas
- Micro irrigation
