What is ac pipe?

AC pipe, or asbestos-cement pipe, is a type of piping made from a mixture of asbestos fibers and cement. It was commonly used for water distribution and sewage systems due to its durability and resistance to corrosion. However, the use of asbestos has declined significantly due to health risks associated with asbestos exposure, leading to a shift towards safer materials in Plumbing and construction. Today, the installation and maintenance of AC pipes require careful handling to avoid asbestos-related hazards.
