PVC PIPE SYSTEMS

WRc plc and the BPF's Plastic Pipes Group are pleased to welcome you to this, the first electronic, edition of the PVC Pipe Systems Manual.

The Manual was first produced in hardcopy by WRc with the plastics pipes manufacturers, polymer resin suppliers and the UK Water Industry in 1986.

Now in 2002, the Manual has been updated to reflect changes in technology and also the move towards European Standardisation. This manual draws together guidance on the use of PVC pipe for the UK water industry. However, much of the guidance is applicable to the use of PVC pipe for the conveyance of water by other industries and in locations outside of the UK.
