You can use pvc pipes in some applications,but copper is far better for household uses.It's not that expensive when you consider how well it does the job.
PVC pipe fittings are used to connect and join different sections of PVC pipes together. They provide a secure and leak-proof connection, allowing for the smooth flow of liquids or gases through the pipes. These fittings come in various shapes and sizes, such as elbows, tees, couplings, and adapters, and they can be used for a wide range of applications, including plumbing, irrigation, and construction.
No, copper pipes need to either be soldered, or connected with compression fittings. PVC cement will not bond with copper and provide a "solvent weld", it would be a very weak connection.
Pipes are made of many different materiels, for different purposes, theres plastic PVC pipes, alluminium, steel, copper, brass, concrete, titanium, iron, ect.
They can be made from a variety of materials, galvanised steel, copper, PVC, CPVC or PEX.
PVC is a compound.The pipes are not a compound but they are made from a compound.
