Pvc Pipe
PVC pipe and Copper pipe, which one is more vulnerable to freezing weather?
The pipes in my place are made of either PVC and Copper, now the temp outside is close to 22f, and obviously one of my PVC pipe is frozen. I am worry about the pipe may go bursted…I believe I once heard someone said that PVC pipe is in fact stronger than copper one and the chances for PVC pipe to burst is relatively low. I wonder if it’s true that PVC pipe is less vulnerable?
Often PVC piping is used for drainage and copper for supply lines.
If you had PVC and copper pipes with the same inner diameter, correctly fitted joints and water inside at the same pressure levels, the PVC will burst first as the water freezes.
In a drainage situation, there is a lot of air in the pipes — and thus provides room for water to expand (as it freezes). So, there is a lot less threat of a PVC bursting.
If given the choice of piping, nowadays… go with the new PEX piping. Cheaper than copper and has a greater strength than either PVC or copper due to the fact that it (PEX) can expand and contract.
If you find yourself in a situation where you are concerned that pipes will freeze, the best thing to do to quickly rememdy the situation (until you can restore heat) is to turn on of your faucets on to a trickle. As long as the water is moving, you’ll be okay.
Good luck.
