Durable and High Performance PVC Schedule 80 Pipe
PVC Schedule 80 pipe is designed for high-pressure and industrial applications, offering greater strength and durability compared to standard PVC Schedule 40 pipe.
Made from rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC), Schedule 80 pipe is built to withstand demanding environments, making it an ideal choice for industries that require chemical resistance, high-pressure handling, and long-lasting performance.
PVC Schedule 80 Pipe Sizes & Specifications
Our PVC Schedule 80 pipe is available in a wide range of sizes to meet your project requirements. Standard sizes range from ½ inch to 24 inches in diameter, with lengths typically available in 10-foot and 20-foot sections.
Each pipe is pressure-rated based on its size and temperature tolerance, ensuring reliable performance for industrial and high-pressure applications.
What is PVC Schedule 80 Pipe?
PVC Schedule 80 is a high-pressure-rated thermoplastic pipe with thicker walls compared to Schedule 40 PVC.
This added thickness enhances its structural integrity, impact resistance, and ability to handle aggressive chemicals, making it suitable for applications where durability and strength are critical.
PVC Schedule 80 is often used in industrial and commercial environments, where pipe must withstand higher temperatures, pressures, and corrosive substances. Its smooth interior surface reduces friction loss, ensuring efficient fluid movement while maintaining structural reliability over time.
Benefits of PVC Schedule 80 Pipe
1. High-Pressure Performance
PVC Schedule 80 is engineered to handle higher pressure ratings than Schedule 40, making it suitable for applications that require stronger and more durable piping. It can manage pressures up to 630 PSI, depending on pipe size and temperature conditions.
2. Corrosion & Chemical Resistance
Unlike metal pipe, PVC Schedule 80 is resistant to corrosion, rust, and chemical degradation. It can withstand exposure to acids, alkalis, salts, and other harsh chemicals, making it ideal for chemical processing plants and wastewater treatment systems.
3. Stronger & Thicker Walls
The increased wall thickness of Schedule 80 PVC provides better impact resistance and structural integrity, ensuring long-lasting performance in high-stress environments.
4. Lightweight & Easy Installation
Despite its enhanced durability, PVC Schedule 80 is still significantly lighter than metal piping, making it easier to transport, handle, and install. Its compatibility with solvent-weld fittings simplifies the installation process while ensuring leak-proof connections.
5. Low Maintenance & Cost-Effective
PVC Schedule 80 requires minimal maintenance due to its resistance to scaling, corrosion, and buildup. Its lower material and labor costs make it a cost-effective alternative to metal pipes for long-term applications.
