Common Questions about Schedule 80 PVC Fittings

Because we specialize in PVC products and accessories, we receive a lot of questions about PVC. Below are a few of the most common questions that are asked about schedule 80 PVC fittings. If you have any questions that are not listed here, feel free to contact us!

Question: Are schedule 80 PVC fittings more expensive than schedule 40 PVC fittings?

Answer: Schedule 80 PVC is thicker than schedule 40 PVC. This allows it to handle higher pressures from within and without. Because of the thicker walls, schedule 80 PVC products need more material to produce. This makes them slightly more expensive than schedule 40 PVC parts. However, schedule 80 PVC is significantly stronger and is still far less expensive than metal pipe and fittings.

Question: Can schedule 80 PVC be used in hot water applications?

Answer: While schedule 80 PVC is stronger than schedule 40, it still has the same restrictions when it comes to temperature. That is because it has the same chemical makeup and is not subjected to any chlorination processes like CPVC is. The maximum operating temperature of schedule 80 PVC pipe and fittings is 140 degrees Fahrenheit; the same goes for schedule 40. This is too low for hot water to pass through without harming the pipe.

Question: How much stronger is schedule 80 PVC than schedule 40 PVC?

Answer: This question has a few different answers. It all depends what type of strength you are talking about. The most common measurement of PVC pipe and fitting strength is burst pressure. Depending on the size of the pipe, schedule 80 PVC pipe can withstand around 50% more pressure from within the pipe than schedule 40. This makes huge differences in water treatment and irrigation applications.
