Can you cement around PVC pipe?
Yes, you can cement around PVC pipe, but it’s important to use the right type of adhesive. Typically, PVC cement is used to bond PVC fittings and pipes together, ensuring a strong, watertight seal. When pouring concrete around PVC, ensure the pipe is properly supported, and consider using a foam or plastic sleeve to allow for expansion and contraction. Always follow local building codes and manufacturer guidelines for best results.
Do you have to encase rigid and PVC conduit in concrete that has high voltage wires from a transformer?
If you are talking about the primary wires to the transformer then yes they have to be encased in concrete.
How do you do lamination to PVC sheets with clear PVC?
To laminate PVC sheets using clear PVC, first ensure that both sheets are clean and free of dust or debris. Align the clear PVC sheet over the PVC sheet you wish to laminate, making sure to leave an even border. Use a heat press or laminating machine set to the appropriate temperature for PVC to bond the sheets together, applying uniform pressure. After lamination, allow the sheets to cool before trimming any excess clear PVC for a neat finish.
Should Teflon tape be used on PVC drain pipe?
Teflon tape is generally not recommended for use on PVC drain pipes. Instead, PVC pipes should be joined using appropriate PVC cement or solvent weld, which creates a strong, leak-proof bond. Teflon tape can interfere with the bonding process and may lead to leaks over time. It's best to follow manufacturer guidelines for joining PVC components.
Is there a chemical reaction between PVC and concrete?
Yes, there can be a chemical reaction between PVC and concrete, particularly in the presence of moisture. The alkaline nature of concrete can lead to degradation of the PVC material over time. This can result in the weakening of the PVC pipes or fittings in contact with the concrete. Proper insulation or protection is recommended to prevent this reaction.
What is the chemical bond of PVC?
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a polymer made up of repeating vinyl chloride monomers. The chemical bond in PVC is a covalent bond between the carbon and chlorine atoms in the vinyl chloride monomers. This covalent bond is strong, giving PVC its durability and resistance to heat and chemicals.
What glue should be used to seal flexible PVC into concrete?
None. PVC is not made to be glued to concrete.
PVC pipe in contact with concrete?
Yes, it can come in contact with concrete.

What are the best ways to connect 1 2 od PVC pipe for a plumbing project?
The best ways to connect 1/2 inch PVC pipe for a plumbing project are using PVC solvent cement or PVC primer and cement. These methods create a strong and watertight bond between the pipes.
What is a sleave in plumbing?
A sleeve is anything that protects the pipe from something else you can purchase special sleeving for copper or pex in slabs, sleeve an irrigation line in a driveway with PVC or use PVC between floors of a concrete building.
What is chemical reaction of PVC to concrete I want to use PVC pipe for water piping electrical power wiresinstalled in the concrete foundation and slab poured directly in contact. Any problem?
PVC does not react chemically with concrete, but PVC has a very large dimensional change when the temperature changes , so pipes that are carrying warm water expand. There are products available to wrap pipes going through concrete so that they have room to expand and do not wear through from grinding back and forth against the concrete as they expand and shrink.

What type of bond does polyvinyl chloride have?
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a type of polymer that is made up of repeating units of vinyl chloride. The bond in PVC is a covalent bond, where atoms share electrons to form a strong bond within the polymer chain structure.
