Why were cast iron pipes replaced by PVC pipes?

Cast iron pipes were once the standard choice for plumbing, but over time they got replaced by PVC pipes for some very practical reasons. Cast iron is heavy, prone to rust, and quite expensive to install and maintain. On the other hand, PVC pipes are lightweight, easy to transport, don’t rust, and are far more affordable. Plus, they last longer and require less maintenance, which makes them a smart choice for both homes and industries. In today’s world, businesses and contractors don’t just look for durability – they also want cost efficiency and reliability. That’s exactly why PVC plumbing pipes, uPVC, and CPVC pipes have become the go-to solution for water supply, drainage, and even agricultural irrigation. And if you’re in the market for bulk supplies, the smartest way is to connect with verified PVC pipe manufacturers, dealers, and exporters through a trusted B2B marketplace like eB2BMart. Here you’ll find a wide range of suppliers offering competitive prices, making it easier to get quality products without the hassle.
