DWV PVC Pipe SWJ

Description

DWV PVC Pipe SWJ – Your Reliable Solution for Drain, Waste, and Vent Systems

The DWV (Drain, Waste, and Vent) PVC Pipe SWJ provides an efficient and cost-effective solution for water drainage and sewer systems. It is widely used in Australian plumbing projects for both above-ground and underground applications. The pipe complies with Australian Standard AS/NZS 1260, ensuring durability and ease of installation. Its resistance to corrosion makes it a top choice for plumbing professionals.

What is DWV?

DWV stands for Drain, Waste, and Vent, describing the pipe’s primary role in moving wastewater and sewage from homes and commercial buildings. These pipes also allow proper venting to equalize pressure in plumbing systems. DWV pipes are not intended for high-pressure applications but excel in gravity-based drainage systems. SWJ refers to Solvent Weld Joint, meaning the pipes are joined using solvent cement for a permanent and watertight seal, ideal for non-pressure systems like DWV.

Key Benefits:

• Corrosion Resistance: DWV PVC pipes are non-reactive and resist corrosion, making them ideal for sewerage and wastewater environments. They require minimal maintenance and last longer.
• Tree Root Intrusion Resistance: Solvent-weld joints create a watertight seal, preventing tree root infiltration, which can lead to blockages or system failures.
• Lightweight and Easy to Install: The lightweight design reduces handling and installation costs, making it more economical for large projects.
• Leak-Free Joints: Solvent cement ensures watertight and gas-tight connections, preventing leaks and sewer exfiltration.

Understanding SN Rating:

The SN rating (stiffness rating) measures how well the pipe resists external pressure and lateral deflection. Pipes with a diameter of DN100 or larger use this rating to determine their suitability for different applications. DWV pipes come with SN4, SN6, SN8, and SN10 ratings. Plumbers typically use SN4 and SN6 in domestic projects, while SN8 and SN10 are designed for municipal drainage and sewerage systems. Local codes and national standards determine the correct SN rating. The “SH” designation refers to “standard height” testing, which evaluates the pipe’s stiffness under consistent conditions to provide reliable performance data.

Applications:

• Above-Ground Plumbing: Used in homes and commercial buildings for transporting waste and venting gases.
• Below-Ground Sewerage Systems: Perfect for underground sewer lines in both residential and large-scale infrastructure projects.
• Stormwater and Drainage Systems: Efficient for managing rainwater and wastewater in urban areas.

Stormwater vs. DWV Pipes:

While both Stormwater and DWV (Drain, Waste, and Vent) pipes can be used interchangeably in some situations, DWV pipes are designed for heavier loads and are rated with higher stiffness (SN ratings). Stormwater pipes are more suited for handling large volumes of rainwater quickly, making them perfect for outdoor drainage.

Available Sizes:

DWV PVC pipes are available in diameters from 40mm to 375mm, offering flexibility for different project needs. Whether for small residential buildings or large industrial sites, DWV pipes provide the ideal solution.
