Schedule 80 PVC Pipe

Schedule 80 PVC pipe is a durable and versatile option for a variety of plumbing projects. Maxx Supply’s Schedule 80 PVC pipe offers high-pressure durability and chemical resistance for industrial, commercial, and select residential systems. It is made from high-quality PVC piping that is resistant to corrosion and chemicals, making it ideal for use in both residential and commercial applications. It is also built with thicker walls than Schedule 40, allowing it to support higher pressure ratings—up to 850 PSI depending on diameter.

The pipe is NSF-certified for potable water applications and performs exceptionally well in corrosive environments. It is manufactured using high-impact, corrosion-resistant PVC that ensures strength and longevity. Suitable for both above-ground and buried installations, it should be painted or sleeved if exposed to UV light, as it is not UV-rated.

Schedule 80 PVC pipe is available in a variety of sizes and lengths, so you can choose the perfect option for your project. The pipe is also easy to install, making it a great choice for DIY projects. To support your selection process, Maxx Supply provides quality assurance, detailed spec sheets, and expert product consultation. Customers are encouraged to contact our team for assistance in selecting the right pipe diameter and pressure rating for their specific needs.

If you are looking for a durable and versatile option for your next plumbing project, then this Schedule 80 PVC pipe is the perfect choice for you.

Common Uses for Schedule 80 PVC Pipe

Schedule 80 PVC pipe is a trusted choice across a range of demanding applications due to its thicker walls and superior pressure tolerance. Its enhanced strength and chemical resistance make it ideal for environments where durability and reliability are critical.

Industries and Applications:

  • High-pressure water lines – Suitable for irrigation, fire suppression systems, and pressurized plumbing in both commercial and industrial applications.
  • Chemical processing systems – Frequently used in facilities handling corrosive substances, thanks to Schedule 80’s resistance to a wide range of chemicals.
  • Industrial and commercial plumbing – A go-to material for systems requiring longevity and the ability to handle fluctuating pressures and temperatures.
  • Aquaculture and agriculture systems – Supports water circulation and nutrient delivery systems with strength and dependability.
  • Water treatment and pump systems – Used in municipal and private treatment operations for system integrity.

Why Choose Schedule 80 Over Schedule 40?

While Schedule 40 is appropriate for general-purpose piping, Schedule 80 pipe is ideal for systems where extra strength or safety margin is needed, offering thicker walls and a higher pressure rating. However, it does have a slightly smaller internal diameter compared to Schedule 40, so flow rate considerations may be necessary in certain designs.
