Schedule 40 PVC Pipe
Maxx Supply’s schedule 40 PVC pipe is a trusted, versatile solution for drainage, irrigation, and light pressure applications in residential and commercial environments. Its chemical resistance, corrosion-proof performance, and affordability make it a go-to option for contractors working in plumbing, pool installations, piping systems, and agricultural irrigation. Compared to schedule 80, schedule 40 PVC has a lighter wall thickness, making it easier to handle and more cost effective for general applications. Schedule 80 may be used for higher-pressure systems, while our schedule 40 PVC is ideal for most standard residential and commercial piping needs.
Made from rigid polyvinyl chloride, this PVC pipe meets ASTM D1784 standards for material quality and is NSF-61 certified for drinking water safety. With a maximum temperature rating of 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 C), schedule 40 pipe supports a wide range of non-pressurized and low-pressure applications, such as vent piping, water conveyance, and chemical handling.
Maxx Supply sells plain end PVC pipe in 5-foot sections; diameters range from ½ inch to 8 inches with typical pressure ratings up to 450 PSI. Installation typically requires couplings and solvent welding for a watertight seal. Flexibility in design and layout are possible with the pipe’s compatibility with a broad range of schedule 40 PVC pipe fittings.
