Metal pipes were at constant risk of wear and tear or scaling, all of which compromised the quality of the water. The innovation of plastic pipes, particularly PVC plumbing pipes and fittings, was a major boon for the plumbing industry.

When PVC is further processed to be unplasticised, the result is known as uPVC (unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride). The main advantage of this process is that it makes the uPVC pipes lead-free and non-toxic, making them ideal for potable water.
