Abstract: A pipe made of a PVC-O material, with the pipe defining a longitudinal axis. The pipe has a first axially extending circumferential section having a first thickness, and a second axially extending circumferential section having a second thickness. The second thickness is greater than the first thickness. A method of producing a PVC-O pipe comprises forming a tubular preform from a PVC material, the tubular preform having a first circumferential section and a second circumferential section; and forcing the tubular preform over a mandrel to expand the tubular preform and form a PVC-O pipe with biaxially oriented PVC. The first circumferential section of the tubular preform forms a first axially extending circumferential section of the pipe having a first thickness, and the second circumferential section of the tubular preform forms a second axially extending circumferential section having a second thickness. The second thickness is greater than the first thickness.
