Welcome to the PVC Pipe Association's online webinar training series. Our webinars offer educational and informative workshops on an on-going basis to support the use of PVC piping in water and wastewater systems. Webinars include examples of how PVC pipe has benefited utilities across North America.
We also provide customized webinars on the design, specification and installation of PVC pipe for water and sewer projects. Let us know if you would like us to organize a webinar for your organization by emailing info@unibell.org.
*Note for PVC Pipe Association webinars offering Professional Development Hours (PDHs): Continuing education requirements for professional engineering licenses may differ from state to state. The final authority to approve PDHs, courses and credits and other ways to earn credits rests with each state licensing board. Individuals are advised to contact their respective state licensing boards regarding their continuing education requirements for professional engineering licensure.

PVC Pipe Association (PVCPA) staff will review tapping procedures for both small- and large-diameter gasketed PVC pressure pipe. The presentation will include instructional diagrams and photos. “Tapping” involves drilling a hole into a main-line pipe to attach a branch line. It’s often done with the main line under full pressure so specialized techniques have been developed to streamline the installation process.
This 30-minute webinar will discuss proper tapping techniques for gasketed PVC water pipe and include the following topics:

Today's marketplace offers North American utilities a wide variety of pipe materials to choose from. Pipe materials can differ significantly in performance capabilities and in the applications for which they are suitable. As a result, making direct comparisons between pipe materials can be challenging. This webinar is part of a series offered by the PVC Pipe Association (PVCPA) which takes an in-depth look at different pipe materials and their properties, design methodologies, installation requirements, and long-term performance in various applications. PVCPA engineers will provide comparative data on these topics for both PVC and HDPE pressure pipe that users of both materials will find helpful and that will enable utilities to make better informed decisions for their projects. This one-hour webinar covers the following topics:
