The Uni-Bell PVC Pipe Association (PVCPA) is the nonprofit trade association that provides technical information on the research, design, and installation of gasketed PVC water, sewer, and force main pipe in sizes 3- through 60-inch. Incorporated in 1971 PVCPA represents manufacturers which together are responsible for 95% of gasketed PVC pipe production in the U.S. and Canada.
