electrical PVC is not bar pressure tested and is therefore quite thin and does not contain certain chemicles in the pipe to stop water corrosion where as Plumbing PVC pipes are tested and generally thicker and must be in order to prevent burst pipes and pressure spikes

What is difference between PVC and uPVC pipes?
The main difference between PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and uPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride) pipes is the composition of the material. PVC pipes contain added plasticizers to make them more flexible, whereas uPVC pipes are rigid and do not contain plasticizers, making them better suited for pressure applications such as water supply lines. uPVC pipes are also more resistant to chemical corrosion and are typically used in plumbing and drainage systems.
