Plastic hoses (and pipes) are commonly used for plumbing, drainage, and irrigation systems. They are made from various types of plastic, including polyvinyl chloride (PVC), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and cross-linked polyethylene (PEX). Plastic hoses are lightweight, easy to install, and resistant to corrosion and chemical damage. They are also flexible, making them ideal for use in areas with varying terrain or for curved installations. However, plastic hoses can be more expensive than traditional materials like copper or steel and may require specialized tools for cutting and connecting. Additionally, some types of plastic hoses may not be suitable for use with hot water or in high-pressure applications.
