Charlotte Pipe 34.462 Pvc Sdr 21 Pipe 4 Inch 20 Foot

Product Description

The CHARLOTTE PIPE 34.462 is a 4-inch diameter PVC SDR 21 pressure pipe with a gasket joint end configuration, supplied in 20-foot lengths. SDR 21 designates a standard dimension ratio of 21, indicating the relationship between the outside diameter and wall thickness. This pipe is designed for pressure-rated water distribution and conveyance applications. Licensed plumbers and irrigation contractors install this product in systems where a consistent pressure rating and leak-resistant gasketed joint are required. The gasket joint design allows for thermal expansion and contraction without compromising the seal integrity.

This pipe is suited for residential and commercial water distribution, irrigation mains, and underground pressure piping installations. The 4-inch diameter and 20-foot stick length are common specifications for service laterals, water mains, and irrigation supply lines. The SDR 21 pressure class supports typical municipal and site utility pressure ranges. Gasketed joints are standard practice in buried pressure piping where solvent cement joints are not preferred or permitted by local code.

Key Features

• SDR 21 dimension ratio provides a consistent pressure-rated wall thickness across the pipe diameter
• Gasket joint end configuration accommodates thermal movement and simplifies field assembly
• 4-inch nominal diameter suits water mains, irrigation supply, and service lateral applications
• 20-foot lengths reduce the number of joints required per run, improving installation efficiency
• PVC construction resists corrosion, scaling, and chemical degradation common in buried environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style pressure pipe for use with standard 4-inch PVC SDR 21 gasketed fittings and couplings in potable water distribution, reclaimed water, and irrigation pressure piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified irrigation contractor in accordance with local plumbing codes and applicable AWWA standards for buried pressure piping. Trench bedding and backfill must meet specified compaction requirements to support the pipe and maintain joint alignment. Lubricate gaskets with an approved pipe lubricant only before assembly and inspect each gasket for damage prior to pushing joints home. Do not use petroleum-based lubricants or solvent cement on gasketed joint ends.
