ToggleThere are different types of PVC coated copper pipes available in the market and each kind of pipe has its own features which cater to the particular purpose that it is intended for. These two categories include the soft PVC coated copper pipes and the hard PVC coated copper pipes each of which enjoy certain characteristics favorable for a given installation condition. These are pipes which allow for flexibility, strength, and protection of the enclosed item and hence can be used in homes, schools, offices and even industries. The following illustrates major forms of PVC coated copper pipes, together with the characteristics of each of them.
Soft PVC coated copper pipes are preferred for installation because they are flexible pipes in order for them to be bent at installation locations. This makes them suitable for use in areas whereby the pipes are required to bend or when the pipes are required to fit very close to the walls such as in a home or a commercial building. Also, the outer surface of the hose is made of PVC and this is soft to ensure that there is no kinking to hinder smooth flow of the fluids.
The utilization of Hard PVC coated copper pipes offer higher rigidity and structural strength Hence, these pipes are ideal to be used when fixed and straight flow of the pipe is necessary. They are widely used in the industrial and commercial buildings because of their ability to withstand mechanical stresses. A hard coated PVC is used for the cover to shield it from physical impact and environmental effects and therefore has the capacity to deliver an optimal performance for a long time.
PVC coated copper pipes can be a product of its type that has some features of copper and the other features of PVC and thus they are very useful in different operations. These pipes have the ability to resist corrosion better, better insulation against heat and lastly better protection against mechanical damage. The covering which is PVC serves to protect the internal copper core and allow for effective transmission of signals regardless of the conditions that the cable faces. These characteristics make it possible for them to be used in the industrial buildings as well as in the homes.
Corrosion Resistance:
It is a material with appropriate properties for the application of PVC coating since it shields the copper pipe from different corrosive influences and rigorous environmental conditions. This averts the possibility of rust and other forms of degradation making the pipe to last longer and to provide a service that is consistent with the needs of both commercial and residential use.
Thermal Insulation:
The PVC layer also acts as an insulator to reduce the level of heat transfer thereby maintaining the required temperatures of the fluids that are conveyed within pipes. This cuts down the energy required for hot water systems, and eliminate chances of condensation on cold water applications to enhance efficiency.
Mechanical Protection:
It has a PVC cover which provides the device additional protection from physical impacts for example, scratches, dents or abrasions. This strength is useful at the time of installation as well as in service theatres where the pipe undergoes excessive wear hence its strength is not affected.
Chemical Resistance:
This means that while from one side it does not corrode or damage the copper pipe from the other side it does not allow chemical reactions which would damage the surface of the PVC shield. This makes PVC coated copper pipes appropriate to be used in Chemical processing and other industries whereby copper pipes and tubes are likely to come into contact with chemicals.
Flexibility and Ease of Installation:
The PVC coating is more flexible thus making the pipes easy to handle and install as compared with the regular pipes. This flexibility negates the need for more fittings and also enhances the maneuverability in order to avoid or go around any obstacles thus making the whole installation process to be much easier.
Aesthetic Appeal:
Copper pipes have different colors which improve the appearance of the piping system and PVC coated copper pipes are readily available in the market. The tightening method is also very beneficial especially where the pipes are exposed so as to give a neat appearance.
Whenever one opts for PVC coated copper pipes choosing the right size, weight and dimension of the pipe is critical for installation. Our tables give precise elaboration concerning different pipe sizes, weight and dimensions used in different projects for proper planning and implementation. These tables facilitates in the determination of pipes to be used in specific functions with an aim of achieving the best performance in these pipes in residential and industrial settings. Correct information of these parameters is important in the achievement of an effective and secure installation of the piping system.

Copper pipes with Polyvinyl chloride [PVC] are currently used in the businesses in Kuwait and in the homes due to the reason of resistance to corrosion. It means it will be possible to utilise these pipes to the country’s questioned environmental capacity after they are made to respond to the hot and cold conditions properly. Its usage is most common in manufacturing and construction applications such as using it in HVAC systems or for plumbing or in any industrial application where the paints has to withstand tough weathers and worst of them. Because of this flexibility they are the most common ones to be used in many projects all over Kuwait.
