SWR (Soil, Waste & Rain Water) pipe is similar, but not the same material as PVC. There are a number of reasons to use SWR pipe instead of ordinary PVC, but you can only substitute it where local code allows for it. Depending upon the application, SWR pipe may not be the right material to use.

It is resistant to chemicals, weather, corrosion and rodents. It is non-flammable. It has a high flow rate and is very strong. However, it is not for water supply lines in a house. The fittings are different, the adhesive used is different (read: not compatible) with PVC either.
