Charlotte Pipe PVC100050600 Sch 80 Pvc Pipe 1/2 in X 20 Ft

Product Description

The Charlotte Pipe Foundry Co. PVC100050600 is a Schedule 80 gray PVC pressure pipe measuring 0.5 inches in diameter and 20 feet in length with a solid wall and plain end configuration. Rated at 850 psi, it is manufactured to Type 1, Grade 1 PVC compound standards and meets ASTM D-1784 and ASTM D-1785 specifications. The heavier wall thickness of Schedule 80 distinguishes it from Schedule 40 pipe and makes it suitable for higher-pressure systems and applications requiring greater impact resistance. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial contractors commonly work with this pipe size in pressure piping installations.

This pipe is intended for pressure applications in residential, commercial, and light industrial plumbing and process piping systems. Its plain end design accepts solvent-cement socket fittings or can be threaded in the field with appropriate Schedule 80 die sets. The 0.5-inch diameter is commonly used for branch lines, fixture supply, and instrumentation runs. NSF Standard 14 and 61 listings confirm the material is evaluated for use in potable water systems where local codes permit PVC pressure pipe.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes including IPC and local amendments. Solvent-cement joining requires proper primer and cement rated for Schedule 80 PVC; follow cure times before pressurizing the system. If threading, use dies sized for Schedule 80 wall thickness only. Depressurize and drain the line completely before cutting into any existing system.
