Charlotte Pipe PVC041120600 Sch 40 Pvc Foam Core Dwv Pipe

Product Description

The Charlotte Pipe Foundry Co. PVC041120600 is a Schedule 40 PVC foam core (cellular core) DWV pipe designed for non-pressure drain, waste, and vent applications. The pipe measures 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 10 feet in length, with plain ends ready for solvent-cement socket fittings. The foam core construction reduces weight compared to solid-wall PVC while maintaining the outer dimensions of standard Schedule 40 pipe. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this pipe in residential and light commercial drainage systems where code allows cellular core PVC. It meets ASTM F-891 and NSF Standard 14 requirements.

This pipe is suited for above-ground, non-pressure DWV installations including sink drains, lavatory waste lines, and vent stacks in residential construction and light commercial projects. Its plain-end configuration accepts standard Schedule 40 DWV socket fittings joined with solvent cement. Cellular core PVC pipe is commonly used where reduced pipe weight is advantageous during rough-in work. It is not rated for pressure service or underground burial in all jurisdictions — verify local code compliance before installation.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 outside diameter dimensions — compatible with standard Sch 40 DWV socket fittings
• Foam core (cellular core) construction reduces overall pipe weight versus solid-wall PVC
• Plain ends designed for solvent-cement joining
• Rated for non-pressure DWV service only
• Meets ASTM F-891 cellular core PVC pipe standard
• Listed to NSF Standard 14 for plastic piping components

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation DWV pipe for use with standard Schedule 40 PVC DWV socket fittings and solvent-cement couplings rated for 1-1/2 inch pipe. Confirm local plumbing code acceptance of cellular core PVC for the intended application before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or applicable local codes. Shut off water supply and ensure the drain system is not under pressure before cutting into existing lines. Use a fine-tooth saw or PVC pipe cutter for clean square cuts, deburr cut ends, and apply primer and solvent cement rated for PVC DWV pipe. Cellular core PVC is not approved for pressure applications or for use as a structural conduit — do not exceed its DWV non-pressure service rating.
