Is it safe on PVC pipe

I am sure it is because I have used it in a sink that has a coating that could be damaged. Also if you couldn't use it on PVC it would really limit it's use. It is a good cleaner for drains and I have been using it for a long time. You may contact Mfr. to be absolutely positive.

Personally, I would use PVC regardless, I'm sure it would work, but the paper tube may bow over time

Still no one has answered this. Does it get too hot to touch? Can it melt PVC pipe if it's in direct contact with it?

It will not hurt PVC pipes. I would wrap the pipe with aluminum foil first to help spread out the heat

I have never tried mine on a pvc pipe or fitting. I would not buy one just for this unless the pipe is almost impossible to replace. I have used mine to repair plastic parts that are expensive to replace or no longer made. The welder is great for the jobs I have used it for but I have not used it to repair a pipe that would be subject to water or air pressure.

Not sure about the weatherization of the PVC, but make sure to get solid copper. This is copper plated aluminum, so you may have connectivity issues.

Yes. I originally bought it for a slow shower drain, and all of my pipes are PVC.

plastic pipe is fine if there is water in the pipe. you need a way to transport heat along the pipe to avoid hot spots.electrically, the only concern is ground water getting into connections.you should try to contact customer service and confirm that the cable is properly rated for underground use and that the termination is fully sealed.

James, since it is self regulating, there is no issue using it on cpvc, abs, pvc, pex, etc. and I on my installation have used the black foam to cover, and it works fine,

Sorry, I do not know. It does not say anything about PVC on the packaging. It is not totally non skid if that helps.

I sold my cable when I moved cross country. The male prongs are molded (if I recall) so no risk of water entering the extension cable. Cut an old 5 quart Motor Oil (plastic) canister and use it as rain shield? Other choice is to find 4 inch diameter PVC pipe from hardware store. Maybe 1 foot long pipe would be enough to keep the connectors protected from the elements inside the pipe.

this unit does not work on the same theory as as the salt units which exchange sodium for solid substances in the water,they magnetize the in coming water to keep the solids from attaching themselves to the surfaces of the sink ,tub ect.,so you will not need salt.you can use PVC pipe no problem but this product WILL NOT effect rust

Mine is on pvc outside (patio) and this is the second year of use, no problems.

From their web site "Microbe-Lift's 100% fully matured anaerobic bacteria goes to work in situations where there is no air present (your septic system). It is harmless to man, animal, and plant life, and is 100% safe to groundwater."No harm should come to your PVC piping.

in would cut through a thin sheet of PVC no problem. But the tool is not large enough to cut through pipes it is made for flat thin sheets of metal & plastic or thin wood it is a very well made tool & I highly recommend this tool no doubt.... Thank You for your question?

According to manufacturer's info on package, it can be used on PVC pipe. They recommend wrapping with insulation to hold in the heat, however in the case of PVC pipe, I would not seal it off at either end for fear that it would retain too much heat.

No, it is not as rigid as a PVC pipe. It works well for aquarium tubing but will not perform as a cane.
