Type of article: Article

Summary

The author assembles the technical information available on PVC: 1) the three types of products (PVC-U, PVCC, GIRAIR) used for distribution installations according to the operating conditions (temperature, pressure) and installation environment (exposure to schocks, etc); 2) manufacturers' literature, technical advice, rule book (DTU); 3) a cost analysis (products and manpower together) that shows the value of this material at least for small and medium-size diameters, compared to steel and copper. He explains why those conclusions must be qualified (real exploitation conditions, site restrictions and impossibility to form the pipes). To the criteria of choice presented, will be added those concerning environmental aspects that an ecological assessment will establish. The study was conducted in the context of professional research activities by the French National Building Federation.
