1.	An apartment owner called for a plumberto replace one of the leaking pipe lines. The plumber arrived andfound that the galvanized iron pipes are deteriorated andcorroded. He advised theapartment owner to replace the galvanized iron pipes with the PVCpipes. Why did the plumber give the above suggestion?
Answer» Solution :PVC pipes are polyvinyl chloride pipeswhich are thermoplastic in nature and more durable as theyare completely TUST free and less EXPENSIVE than galvanised iron pipes. Though galvanization prevents ruting , since the PIPELINES are in CONTINUOUS contact with water, the coating may GET worn off over a period of time and it may be corroded.
