I've seen two different qualities of PVC drain assemblies. The
super-cheap, leak-prone type had a fold over wedge on certain ends.
The better quality ones have a solid wedge on those certain ends and
tend not to leak. I think they sell less of the super-cheap kind these
days.
P.S. Count me as another vote for PVC as it doesn't corrode, is very
inexpensive, just plain lasts longer, and is easier to cut and install.
I don't think it even has an objectionable look: clean, white and
smooth.
