Can t PVC pipes be used in distribution boxes
PVC is the most common plastic piping, and it may become brittle and shatter, causing a workplace hazard. In our modern world, Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is a commonly used material in a wide range of distribution applications. From the pipes that transport our drinking water to the insulation of electrical cables, PVC plays an integral role in our lives. It is available in diameters of 1/2" an larger, and in lengths of 10', 20', and 40'.

However, these are dependent on the surrounding soil to provide a frictional force to keep the joints together. There are mechanical joint restraints and lockable gaskets which you may want to look into if you use PVC.
