Product overview
Rigid PVC pipe is used in a range of water and drainage systems, but dimensions, pressure ratings and permitted applications vary by product. This selection is a Schedule 40 water-pipe direction; its exact specification has not yet been verified.
Selection and specifications
Confirm the applicable pipe standard, nominal size, actual outside diameter, wall thickness, length, joint type and fittings. For pressure service, obtain the rating for the exact pipe size, temperature and intended fluid.
Specification checklist
Request the following details for the selected model before ordering.
- Nominal size and outside diameter: to be confirmed
- Wall thickness and length: to be confirmed
- Standard and application: to be confirmed
- Pressure and temperature rating: to be confirmed
- Connection and fittings: to be confirmed
- Drinking-water certification: to be confirmed
Compare pipe and fittings as a system
A nominal pipe size is a designation, not a direct measurement of inside diameter. Compare outside diameter, wall thickness, joint type and dimensional standard against the fittings you plan to use. Pressure rating also depends on pipe size and service conditions.
A supplier may provide standard and certification documents for a particular pipe range; ask whether the exact pipe and intended use are covered. Do not infer drinking-water suitability solely from the material name or Schedule 40 designation.
Before approving an order
When comparing quotations, align the length per pipe, number of lengths, nominal diameter, dimensional standard, end treatment and whether fittings are included. Request pressure-temperature data for the actual product and confirmation of suitable shipping protection.
Information to include in your enquiry
Provide the destination country, intended water application, nominal size, length and volume. If drinking water is involved, specify the applicable local requirements and request certificates covering the exact product.
