About Our Schedule 80 PVC Pipe
Schedule 80 pipe is the pipe of choice for industrial, commercial, and other applications that involve high pressure or heavy wear and tear. Of the easily available Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 sizes, the Schedule 80 pipe has a thicker exterior wall, giving it the ability to withstand higher pressure.
While Schedule 80 pipe is manufactured in a variety of materials, PVC offers many advantages over other options. PVC is a smooth, lightweight thermoplastic that is:
Strong and Durable
PVC can withstand bending and compression without breaking or warping. The thicker wall of Schedule 80 pipe offers additional stability, making it ideal for settings where pipes might be subjected to physical impact.
Non-Corrosive
PVC will not deteriorate when exposed to minerals or most chemicals, unlike metal pipes. These PVC pipes can transport chemicals or be buried underground without weakening over time.
UV Resistant
For external pipes that will be exposed to sunlight, PVC can withstand many years under harsh UV rays before it will need to be replaced.
High Capacity
PVC has a smooth surface which allows for high capacity flow.
Easy to Install
Installing PVC requires minimal tools. The lightweight pipes can be installed often with a saw to cut them to size and PVC cement to make the connections watertight.
Where Our Schedule 80 PVC Can Be Used
When you need a piping solution to withstand high pressures, transport chemicals, and last for years without significant cost, Schedule 80 PVC pipe is generally the superior option.
Schedule 80 PVC pipe can be used for any applications where:
- Maximum pressure will not exceed the max allowed PSI (ranging from approximately 200 to 800 PSI depending on pipe dimensions).
- Water or fluid temperatures are below 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Compressed air or gas will not be transported through the PVC pipe including from pneumatic testing.
These minimal requirements open Schedule 80 PVC to a wide variety of uses.
Some of the places where they are often installed include facilities for:
For some local building codes or industry standards, a heavier duty pipe like Schedule 80 PVC may be required where Schedule 40 may otherwise have sufficed. There is no disadvantage to using Schedule 80 over Schedule 40 other than a slightly higher price point and size constraints.
Industries We Provide Piping To
Many of our clients are contractors or builders needing to place sustainable, efficient PVC pipes during construction or a system renovation. We also work directly with plumbers, towns and cities, manufacturers, and more.
Regardless of your needs, we have the capability and inventory to provide a single pipe or fulfill a large purchase order for:
- Commercial PVC Piping
- Industrial PVC Piping
- Institutional PVC Piping
- Municipal PVC Piping
Schedule 80 PVC is not typically used in residential applications since its specifications provide more than is needed and Schedule 40 piping is a suitable and more cost-effective choice.
Our Schedule 80 PVC Options and Sizing
The sizing for Schedule 80 PVC pipe refers to the interior dimensions of the pipe. Outside, the Schedule 80 pipes have the same measurements as pipes of all schedules for ease in selecting fittings, but the thicker walls make the interior narrower when compared to Schedule 40 pipe.
The larger the pipe, the less pressure it can withstand, so piping should be selected based on the expected water pressure in addition to the physical size. The expected temperature is important as well. The listed pressures are for water at about 73 degrees Fahrenheit. Water or fluids that will be at higher temperatures require a pipe with a higher pressure rating.
Among the pipe dimensions we offer are:
- ½ inch
- ¾ inch
- 1 inch
- 1 ½ inch
- 2 inch
- 3 inch
- 4 inch
- 6 inch
- 8 inch
- 10 inch
- 12 inch
- 14 inch
