Clamped-insert joints (Fig. 10-167) are nsed for flexible plastic pipe np throngh the 2-in size. Friction between the pipe and the spnd is developed both by forcing the spud into the pipe and by tightening the clamp. For the larger sizes, which have thicker walls, these methods cannot develop adequate friction. Insert joints also have high pressure drop. Stainless-steel bands are available. Inserts are available in nylon, polypropylene, and a variety of metals. 

PVC, or 3, is one of the less commonly recycled plastics in the United States, although it is actively recycled in Europe. The recycled material is used to make non-food-bearing containers, shoe soles, flooring, sweaters, and pipes. Polypropylene, PP or... 

Polyethylene is used for milk, food, and detergent bottles. Polypropylene is used for outdoor carpeting for home and sports stadia. Polyfvinyl chloride) is used for home siding and plastic pipe. Polystyrene is used for hot drinking cups and fast-food containers. Polytetrafluoroethylene is used for nonstick cookware. Polymerization of these and other alkenes on an industrial scale is responsible for producing over 50 billion lb per year of plastic and elastomer products in the United States. 

The plastic pipe market is dominated by PVC pipes, which hold 80% of the market. Polyethylene, principally HDPE, is used for about 12% of pipe production. Following polyethylene are other higher priced, specialty pipes made from ABS terpolymer, chlorinated PVC, polypropylene, polybutylene, and fiber-reinforced epoxy and polyester. 

One of the most important usages of plastic pipes in construction is sanitary pipes. Polypropylene random copolymer is used in sanitary pipes due to its excellent chemical resistance and heat transfer properties. 

Polypropylene can be fabricated by almost any process used for plastics (see Plastics processing). The extmsion of pipe and injection mol ding of fittings present no unusual problem. However, there is no way to bond the fittings to the pipe except by remelting the polymer, which is impractical on most constmction sites. The resin can be reinforced by glass fibers, mineral fillers, or other types of fillers and can be pigmented readily.
