Charlotte Pipe PVC04030B0600 Sch 40 Pvc Pipe 3in X 20ft

Product Description

The Charlotte Pipe PVC04030B0600 is a Schedule 40 solid-wall PVC pipe rated for both pressure and DWV (drain, waste, and vent) applications. Each stick measures 3 inches in diameter and 20 feet in length with a bell end for solvent-weld socket connections. The pipe carries a 260 psi pressure rating and meets ASTM D-1785 for rigid PVC pressure pipe, ASTM D-2665 for PVC DWV pipe, ASTM F-480 for thermoplastic water-well casing, and NSF Standard 14 and 61 for potable water contact. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters select this pipe for both pressure systems and gravity-drain configurations.

This pipe is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a single material must serve pressure supply lines, drain-waste-vent stacks, or water-well casing installations. The bell end allows direct socket joining without a separate coupling at each joint, reducing fittings count on long runs. Typical install scenarios include supply distribution, underground drainage, and irrigation mainlines where Schedule 40 wall thickness meets local code minimums.

Key Features

• Bell end eliminates the need for a separate coupling at each joint
• Dual-rated for pressure and DWV service in a single product
• Meets ASTM D-1785, ASTM D-2665, and ASTM F-480 standards
• NSF Standard 14 and 61 listed for potable water contact
• 3-inch diameter, 20-foot length for efficient long-run installations

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard Schedule 40 PVC socket fittings and solvent-weld cement systems in pressure, DWV, and water-well casing applications per the listed ASTM standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local amendments. Before cutting or joining, confirm the solvent cement and primer are rated for Schedule 40 PVC and the intended service (pressure or DWV). Allow full cure time before pressurizing the system. Support spacing, burial depth, and thrust-block requirements must comply with local code and the pipe manufacturer guidance for the specific application.
