Specification

3/8"-W Plain End Schedule 80 PVC Pipe 800-003 (4 X 5ft)

Description

PVC is the most commonly used plastic material for manufacturing plastic pipes. It has a relatively high tensile strength and module of elasticity. These features make it stronger and more rigid than most other thermoplastics. It is also resistant to most acids, bases, salts, aliphatic solutions, oxidants, and halogens. The joining methods for PVC are solvent cementing, threading (Schedule 80 ONLY), or flanging. The pressure rating systems given are for solvent-cemented systems. When adding valves, flanges, or other components, the system must be de-rated to the rating of the lowest component: threaded fittings are rated at 50% of solvent-cement systems; flanged fittings are rated at 150 psi union fittings are rated at 235 psi. Please see manufacturers' recommendations for other ratings. Do not test or use PVC piping for air or compressed gases.
