All of your videos that I have watched so far have been very informative and helpful to me. Learning alot about the differences between pipes made of PVC, CPVC, PEX, COPPER etc., their different applications, the variety of mounting hardware available for these pipes etc... Lots of great stuff! Thanks for sharing.
Agreed. Diagram labeling self-contradicts. I'm assuming script is correct--makes more sense for connections. I went to 'Comments' for clarity--thanks for posting.
Thanks for the info. I need to dig drainage for my home gutters/downspouts around my property to get the water away from my foundation. Should I be buying DWV PVC with Schedule 40 PVC pipes to do this application. I will be digging down approx. 18" to 24" below grade to bury the pipes? Thanks in advance.
I accidentally plumbed my pool pump and filter with DWV, but have not turned it on yet. I assume I need to tear it all apart and do it over with the correct pressure rated parts. The pumping pressure is in the mid 20's. Any chance this DWV stuff could hold? Or just bite the bullet and do it all over.
@@PEXUniverse Ok I started tonight. It just proves you learn from your mistakes! And as a bonus I found a cracked Jandy diverter I didn’t notice before so I can fix that before powering up. The Great Texas Freeze keeps on giving 😖
Hi, thanks for the video. I bought 100' of 6" SDR 32.5 and it's wider than the SDR 35. Where can I get fittings for the SDR 32.5? Is there a way to used the SDR 35 fittings with the SDR 32.5 pipe? I bought a lot of the SDR 35 fittings and I can't seem to find any reasonably priced SDR 32.5 fittings...
I noticed that there is a difference in the finish of some sched 40 pvc. I need the harder, smoother, glossier finish. Is this a specific finish or just the whim of the manufacturer? Thanks
*OK, so for my floor drain under the basement floor, that will take all the waste water into the public sewer line, I am thinking to put a 5 inches schedule 80 pipe. Cost doesn't bother me. Are there any drawbacks for this application? I just wanted to have a stronger and wider pipe under the floor so I, hopefully, never have to dig the basement floor to treat the broken or narrow pipe.*
Is there an adapter or reducer I can use to connect 3/4” schedule 40 to 1/2” schedule 80? They used schedule 80 in this old house I bought and I can’t replace it all at once. So in the meantime I need to connect a 3/4” schedule 40 pvc to 1/2” schedule 80 pvc?
Hi thanks for your video For plastic agricultural tunnels/greenhouse which plastic types can be used? Need something that is strong, rigid and flexible.
I came across this video hoping to get some info regarding solvent welding PVC using something other than PVC cement. I appreciate you posting this video, but I couldn't get past the part at 1:23 when you say the exact opposite of what your diagram is showing. Also, you say Sch. 80 has a thicker "pipe"? You probably should have re-recorded those parts with a corrected diagram said "thicker walls". I'm sure there's more than one person who has never worked with PVC or CPVC who is more confused now than before they watched this video. TH-cam is already full of videos boasting how to do something "correctly", "the RIGHT way" or "the BEST way", yet it is obvious they are filming themselves doing something for the very first time. We don't need more videos like that.
Hey everyone. I have a 1" 1/4 pvc drain pipe under my sink it's white in color but doesn't seem to fit with any scd 40 fittings would that be dwv is it sized differently? It says 1" 1/4 pvc but nothing else
I’m looking for a pipe solution to replace an existing pvc stormwater pipe that was crushed by large tree roots. Client does not wish to remove tree. I’m not sure if I should go for something more ridged or something more flexible that won’t crack if roots return. Any thoughts?
Would you recommend Schedule 40 PVC installed underground for swimming pools, a couple feet _within the frost depth?_ Insulate by placing rigid XPS insulation boards overtop, for example? I'd really appreciate your advice.
@@PEXUniverse Ya, you'll need to edit some to reflect that information. As it is, that pop-up diagram is incorrect and your explanation is contradicting and confusing. Both schedules cannot have the same i.d., o.d. AND wall thickness. Pls fix.
@@PEXUniverse The same diameter? You may want to specify I.D., O.D. or nominal next time? Saying thickness of the "pipe" is a bit confusing. How about thickness of the "wall"?
40 schedule...be careful though...it flexes more causing a chance of blowing into sharp pieces! 1.5" is best psi...I had best luck with 2" for distance though...do not exceed 280psi I think...research & read the info (lettering on pipe)...do not use venting pipe! I used controlled air bursts instead of pressured relief valves but had luck with both...(ie 1.5"@ 5ft & 2"@4ft length) (3" really cool too)
I was wondering which pipe would work best for rifle stock(s) for my homemade rifles. Don't worry - using used manufactured barrels from E Bay... Looked at black pipe as used in TH-cam videos...don't think so. Stock might work, outta PVC.
Yes but I don't reccomend it...only use it on basic (minimalist) drain or vent. Best to use a dedicated primer & glue but I do use all purpose on finished houses/cabinets. Be sure to glue both female & male part.
Your diagram (inside diameters are equal, outside diameters are not) does not match what you said. You said "outside diameters are equal, and inside diameters are not". Which is correct, you or the diagram?
Thick? Not really, schedule 80 is best bet behind metal piping which may corrode in the long run though. Copper, ABS, aluminum, & pvc very flexible compared to cast, iron or even brass. Mixing metals also causes corrosion.
the time thing, is that a rumor, with the steel pipe industry, it would take the thickness, increments of 40 hours for a peice to go through the entire drawing process.
Welp! that explains why the drain pipes from the dishwasher keep falling apart. I use really hot water. uggh. going to redo it with sch 40 cpvc, instead of that super thin stuff.

same. work at HD and they dont have near the info these do. really helps me with customers!
1:24 "Inside diameter EQUAL for BOTH Sch 40 & 80"

I am looking to run a simple drain for my water softener. It will be under shallow gravel. Will get some foot travel. Which pipe should I use?🦇
Hi, I would like to know if there is any physical/chemical difference other than the color between PVC for Conduit vs PVC for water pipes.
Dude you guys got great videos and great prices in your website, I'm making a purchase today thanks
do we can use th pvc and cpvc in AC HAVC chiller ?
Great video
Are all schedule 80 pvc the same? Can the same schedule 80 can be used for both plumbing and as electrical conduit applications?

We'd recommend doing it over. Sorry about that :(

i want to know about upvc pipe detail.please make a video about upvc pipe
useful tips, thank you
You are welcome
Can you do a video about the permitted and not permitted uses of the fittings? Like horizontal to horizontal

Fully agree with you. He does makes some points, but does not check his
examples.
Which is stronger, 3/4" PVC sch 80 or 2" PVC sch 20 ?

What type of pvc is most rigid and doesn’t bend and long lengths?
Sch. 80
Is DVW PVC safe to use in irrigation applications i.e. hydroponics (virtually no pressure)?

Not a terrible idea but we think rubber coated tube insolation sticks might do you better.
Thanks for the video very helpful
Can you connect 40 schedule pipe to 80 schedule fittings?
So the diagram says 40 and 80 have the same inside diameter, then he said they have the same outside diameter? whats right?
They have the same diameter as in the amount of space the pipe takes up, but the thicknesses of the pipe are different
Same outside diameter

Is it possible to use SCH80 pipe with SCH40 pipe? Are they compatible?
Hello Luis, these pipes have the same outer diameter so you should be able to connect them with standard sized fitting.
Any reason(s) why I couldn't use it for the frame on a recumbent trike, a softer cushioned ride.. thinking CPVC.
Hey Timothy, I'd suggest to use the one that's designed to withstand high pressure so your bike will be as durable as possible, like schedule 80.
which one is best for potato gun..plizzz...
40 schedule...be careful though...it flexes more causing a chance of blowing into sharp pieces! 1.5" is best psi...I had best luck with 2" for distance though...do not exceed 280psi I think...research & read the info (lettering on pipe)...do not use venting pipe!

Your statement contradicts with the picture behind you.
What product do I use for drinking underground water line?
Copper K
Can I use all purpose cement on DWV connections?
Yes but I don't reccomend it...only use it on basic (minimalist) drain or vent. Best to use a dedicated primer & glue but I do use all purpose on finished houses/cabinets. Be sure to glue both female & male part.

do thy have a pvs that is very think like half an inch
1/2" PVC? You bet...in sch 40 or 80

John Travolta is a plumber?
Good vdos sir but full name and pvc full name and cvpc full name and ppr ok I need full name ok and thanks
Nice!
You can talk about PVC for hours when you’re high.
hello...
CPVC.....say that 10 times fast.
What is Charlotte PVC? Never mind. Apparently my part if the country likes to spell out the name instead of calling it cpvc.
Great video
