Non Metallic Products

Plastic pipe is lightweight, flexible, durable, and versatile. Products are made of plastics and composite materials and are used in many of the same applications as traditional metal and ceramic piping. Plastic pipe offers significant savings in terms of both weight and installation, however. Plastic piping comes in solid wall and corrugated configurations, and is available in a variety of common materials.
