PVC-U PRESSURE PIPE SOLVENT WELD (SWJ) (AS/NZS1477)
PVC pressure pipes are manufactured in accordance to AS-1477 from PVC resin compounded with stabilisers, lubricants and pigments. They do not contain any plasticisers and hence are known as unplasticised PVC or PVC-U.
PVC-U pipes have been used for pressure applications in Australia since the 1960s, but have a much longer service history elsewhere in the world. Over this time, industry has recognised the many benefits of PVC for pressure pipes: material stability, corrosion resistance, and high strength to weight ratio, ease of handling, installation and excellent flow characteristics.

PVC-U STORMWATER SOLID WALL (SWJ) (AS/NZS1254)
Authorities and contractors recognise the cost effectiveness and advantages of long lengths, ease of handling, installation and the proven performance of PVC pipes for stormwater applications. PlascorpTM storm water pipes are available in sizes ranging from 75mm to 300 mm. PlascorpsTM strorm water grade of PVC pipe is manufactured in accordance with AS/NZS 1254.
PVC-U DWV SOLID WALL (SWJ) (AS/NZS1260)
Manufactured according to AS/NZS 1260 PlascorpsTM DWV (Drain Waste & Vent) is one of the most comprehensive on the market with a full range from 40mm to 225mm in diameter. PVC-U is the predominant material used in DWV applications in Australia.
The advantages of PVC in DWV applications are well accepted, being lightweight, resistant to a wide variety of chemicals, do not support combustion (are approved for multi-storey plumbing in conjunction with approved fire stop collars), they are impervious to bacterial and fungal attack and are not subject to electrolytic corrosion.
PVC-U ELECTRICAL CONDUIT SOLVENT WELD (SWJ) (AS/NZS2053)
We offer a range of electrical conduit and ducting, manufactured in accordance with AS/NZS 2053, suitable for both commercial and domestic applications. PVC is ideally suited for electrical conduits, both for above and below ground cables as it is non-conductive, lightweight and easy to install.
These conduits are used in buried applications and in buildings either fully exposed or encased in concrete floors. Whilst AS/NZS determines the most common length at 4m long, Plascorp™ has the ability to manufacture custom
lengths to suit customer application requirements.
