The wall thickness of schedule 80 PVC pipe is 1/2 inch. This is a thicker wall than the schedule 40 PVC pipe, which has a wall thickness of 3/8 inch.

Sound deadening qualities
1 1/2 schedule 80 PVC pipe is often used in applications where sound-deadening qualities are required. The pipe’s thicker walls help to block out unwanted noise, making it an ideal choice for use in residential and commercial settings alike.
Additionally, the material is resistant to most chemicals and is not susceptible to rust or corrosion, further extending its usefulness.
Installation Process
Solvent cement is required to join two pieces of 1 1/2 schedule 80 PVC pipe together.
The process of installation requires the following:
- Cut the pipe with a PVC cutting tool or saw at the desired location. Be sure to make a clean, square cut.
- Clean the inside and outside of each cut end of the pipe with a PVC cleaning solution. This will remove any dirt or debris that could prevent the solvent cement from bonding properly.
- Apply a generous amount of solvent cement to one of the cut ends of the pipe.
- Insert the other cut end of the pipe into the first pipe until it is fully seated.
- Hold the two pieces of pipe together for 30-60 seconds while the cement sets.
- Wipe away any excess cement that may have oozed out from the joint.
