Because Furniture Grade PVC pipe and fittings are designed for structural use, they are not National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) rated, and therefore should not be used for plumbing or pressurized systems, as these require NSF certification. Furniture Grade PVC pipe and fittings can however, be used in irrigation applications, such as gardening, sprinkler systems and aquaponics, since they don't mandate the same strict government regulations as plumbing or drain/waste/vent.

Beauty and a professional look. All of the fittings and caps have a smooth bevel that tapers to the pipe surface, rather than being square and blocky. They are also available in many different colors, so you can customize your project, display or design.
UV resistant. Not only does this keep the pipe and fittings from becoming yellow, or having their color fade, it adds to the life of the product, so a project you build with Pipeworks products can last you ten to twenty years, or even longer.
