The plumbing system in construction projects is of great importance. Pipes and fittings are very important components in building facilities, as pipes are used in water supply systems, sewage systems, and telecommunications systems.

Familiarity with Push-Fit Fittings

One of the commonly used plumbing systems for sewage networks is the push-fit. Push-fit fittings are sewage systems that can be easily connected to pipes due to the presence of an O-ring; they are made of polypropylene and have no execution limitations.

Systems that use push-fit fittings have many advantages such as long lifespan, lightweight, easy installation, no need for welding or adhesive during connection, and high installation speed.

Push-fit fittings have a smooth surface, and this smooth interior surface reduces the likelihood of sediment formation. This feature can be regarded as an advantage of push-fit fittings since sediment formation leads to problems in sewage pipes. However, it is worth mentioning that the presence of the O-ring can also be considered a disadvantage because it increases the likelihood of damage to push-fit sewage pipes due to insufficient impact resistance.

Push-fit fittings have a wide variety of shapes and sizes and can be installed on metal or PVC pipes. Moreover, push-fit pipes are not damaged by fire, and their raw materials and construction are fire-resistant, making these pipes very well-sealed and reducing the risk of leakage. The price of push-fit pipes is very reasonable considering their quality, which can lead to cost-effective purchases for individuals.

Familiarity with PVC Pipes

Another common and widely used type of pipe in buildings is PVC. The material used to make PVC is PVC itself, which requires adhesive for connecting and joining with other pipes. The advantages of this product include excellent quality, long lifespan, non-rotting, and rust resistance, which are attributed to its raw material.

The PVC composition of PVC pipes makes them resistant to corrosion, which is considered one of the features and advantages of PVC. However, the low resistance of PVC pipes against UV rays is considered a disadvantage, especially in cases where they must be exposed to sunlight. It is also worth noting that the adhesive connection feature of PVC pipes increases the risk of leakage, as the adhesive bond may lose its properties over time.

Comparing Push-Fit and PVC Pipes

The price of PVC pipes is cheaper than that of push-fit pipes, but one should not consider one of these pipes superior to the other, as the cost of purchase, installation, and maintenance also affects the final price, while PVC pipes have lower purchase prices and installation costs compared to push-fit fittings. Additionally, PVC is lightweight, which is a factor in determining the price of pipes.

Both types of pipes can easily discharge sewage due to their smooth and polished surfaces. If the pipes do not have a smooth interior surface and are instead rough on the inside, this roughness can lead to sediment build-up and ultimately blockages in the pipes.

Therefore, we have understood that PVC pipes have a much longer history than push-fit fittings, and it is simpler to prove the quality of PVC to consumers, while push-fit fittings do not have many fans due to being new in the market. However, push-fit pipes rank higher due to their easier installation compared to PVC pipes.

PVC pipes are made of polymer, which has high resistance to chemicals. In addition, push-fit pipes also have good resistance; however, in this regard, PVC pipes perform better.
