As a result, the standard outside diameter of 2" PVC pipe ended up at 60.3mm, which is 2.37". Rather confusingly, PVC pipe is connected either by solvent cement welding or threading. Solvent welding, the most common must be taken not to let cleaner or glue splash or run down the pipe as it will affect the clarity.

Joining of PVC vent pipe is by solvent weld or flanges, although some the material of choice for the semiconductor and aerospace industries, where it is most widely used.
