PVC Sewer Piping for Domestic Waste & Storm Water

PVC sewer pipe and fittings are engineered for reliable collection of domestic waste and stormwater. Solid PVC solvent weld sewer pipe, perforated PVC solvent weld sewer pipe, and PVC gasketed pipes offer long-lasting performance for building sewer, storm, and septic system applications.

IPEX manufactures a full range of solvent weld pipes, gasketed pipes, and PVC sewer pipe fittings, including both solid and perforated sewer pipe options in SDR35 and heavy wall SDR26.

Manufactured from chemical- and corrosion-resistant PVC, IPEX sewer pipes are fully unaffected by sewer gases, sulfuric acid, and aggressive soil conditions—ensuring decades of reliable service.

High-Performing and Long-Lasting PVC Sewer Pipe Systems

The life cycle of PVC sewer pipe and fittings exceeds 50 years, making it a top choice for modern construction.

Benefits of PVC solvent weld pipes and PVC gasketed pipes include:

  • Better hydraulic flow compared to traditional materials
  • Fewer joints for improved integrity
  • Greater flexibility to handle unstable soil without cracking
  • Reduced risk of blockages and buildup over time

Greater Hydraulic Efficiency with Solvent Weld Pipes

PVC’s smooth interior boosts hydraulic capacity by reducing friction. Its resistance to scaling, buildup, and corrosion helps solid and perforated PVC sewer pipes maintain higher flow performance over their service life than other materials.

Solvent Weld vs. Gasketed Sewer Pipe: Choosing the Right System

Selecting the right sewer pipe system starts with understanding the differences between solvent weld and gasketed PVC designs. Each offers unique advantages depending on project requirements, installation environment, and long-term performance needs.

Solvent Weld PVC Sewer Pipe & Fittings

Solvent weld connections create a permanent bond between pipe and fitting, making them ideal for applications where a secure, leak-resistant joint is required.

  • Best suited for building sewer connections, domestic waste lines, and small-diameter municipal laterals
  • Excellent for installations requiring flexibility for alignment adjustments
  • Available in solid and perforated options for septic field and foundation drainage applications
  • Cost-effective and simple to install

Gasketed PVC Sewer Pipe & Fittings

Gasketed systems use an integrated rubber gasket to create a watertight, push-fit joint that simplifies installation.

  • Designed for larger-diameter sewer mains, stormwater systems, and high-flow applications
  • Faster assembly with no cure time needed
  • Highly effective for long pipeline runs where deflection or ground movement is expected
  • Available in solid and perforated formats for a wide range of drainage applications

Whether a project requires the durability of a solvent weld connection or the speed and reliability of a gasketed system, IPEX offers a full selection of solid and perforated pipes and fittings in both configurations to meet the needs of any installation.

Applications & Use Cases

IPEX solvent weld and gasketed PVC sewer pipe systems are engineered for performance across a variety of wastewater and drainage environments. With solid and perforated options available, these systems deliver reliability across residential, commercial, industrial, and municipal applications.

Building Sewer & Drainage Systems

PVC sewer pipe provides a dependable solution for transporting domestic wastewater from buildings to municipal systems, offering long-term resistance to corrosion and ground movement.

Stormwater Management

Gasketed and solvent weld PVC systems are commonly used for stormwater drainage lines, culverts, and high-flow water conveyance applications due to their smooth interior walls and resistance to sediment buildup.

Septic Fields & Subsurface Drainage

Perforated PVC sewer pipe delivers consistent performance in septic dispersal beds and foundation drain systems, helping manage groundwater and effluent efficiently.

Municipal Sewer and Lateral Connections

For municipal sewer mains, laterals, and extensions, gasketed PVC systems offer fast installation and watertight joints ideal for large-scale underground infrastructure projects.

Foundation & Perimeter Drainage

Perforated pipe systems provide reliable drainage around foundations, preventing water accumulation and minimizing structural concerns.

With a full range of pipe diameters, wall thicknesses, and connection types, IPEX offers solutions designed to support a wide range of infrastructure needs.
