Usa Industrials BULK-PR-PVC-128 Pvc Plastic Rod

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-PR-PVC-128 is a gray PVC plastic rod measuring 0.75 inches in diameter and 12 inches in length. PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is a rigid thermoplastic valued for its strong chemical resistance and electrical insulating properties. This rod stock is well suited for fabricating custom components, standoffs, bushings, spacers, and insulators in environments where exposure to chemicals or electrical conductivity is a concern. Machinists, electricians, plumbers, and industrial maintenance technicians commonly work with PVC rod stock when custom-cut or turned parts are needed on the job or in a shop setting.

This PVC rod is used across chemical-processing facilities, electrical enclosures, plumbing installations, and general industrial fabrication where a non-conductive, corrosion-resistant material is required. Its compact 12-inch length makes it practical for bench work or short-run machining. The gray color is standard for Type I PVC rod stock commonly stocked in trade and industrial supply environments.

Key Features

• Gray PVC construction provides strong resistance to a wide range of chemicals and corrosive substances
• Electrically insulating material suitable for use near energized components
• 0.75 inch diameter and 12 inch length are ready for lathe turning, drilling, or band-saw cutting
• Rigid, machinable stock for fabricating custom spacers, standoffs, bushings, and insulators
• Lightweight at 1 pound per piece, easy to handle and transport on the job

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose PVC rod stock suitable for chemical-processing, electrical, plumbing, and industrial fabrication applications where a non-conductive, chemically resistant thermoplastic material is specified.

Installation Notes

PVC rod stock is typically worked by machinists, electricians, or maintenance technicians using standard woodworking or metalworking tools including band saws, lathes, drill presses, and hand files. No heat or special tooling is required for most cutting and drilling operations, though sharp tooling is recommended to prevent chipping. When used in electrical applications, follow applicable NEC guidelines for insulating material selection and ratings. Avoid exposing PVC to temperatures or solvents outside its rated service range, as these can degrade mechanical and insulating properties.
