Charlotte Pipe PVC16020B0600HC 2 in Sdr 26 Pvc Pipe 160 Psi

Product Description

The CHARLOTTE PIPE FOUNDRY CO. PVC16020B0600HC is a 2-inch SDR 26 solid-wall PVC pressure pipe rated at 160 PSI. Each stick is 20 feet long with a bell end for solvent-welded or gasketed push-joint connections. Manufactured to ASTM D-2241 standards and certified to NSF Standard 14 and 61, this pipe is built for potable water and general pressure-service applications. Licensed plumbers and irrigation contractors install this pipe in underground and above-grade pressure systems where a reliable, code-compliant pipe is required.

This pipe is suited for residential and light commercial pressure applications including potable water distribution, irrigation mains, and other fluid-handling systems where PVC pressure pipe is code-acceptable. The bell-end configuration simplifies field connections and reduces the need for additional fittings at joints. It ships and is sold in packages of 5 sticks, making it practical for both single-system installs and larger project quantities.

Key Features

• 160 PSI pressure rating suitable for water distribution and irrigation pressure mains
• SDR 26 dimension ratio provides consistent wall thickness relative to pipe OD
• Solid-wall construction with bell end for simplified field jointing
• Meets ASTM D-2241 dimensional and performance requirements
• NSF Standard 14 and 61 certified for potable water contact
• 20-foot stick length reduces joint frequency on long runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation PVC pressure pipe for residential and commercial potable water, irrigation, and general-pressure piping systems where ASTM D-2241 SDR 26 pipe is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified irrigation contractor in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM D-2241 guidelines. Solvent-cement joints require proper primer and cement rated for PVC pressure pipe; allow full cure time before pressurizing the line. Shut off and depressurize the existing system completely before cutting into any live section. Handle pipe carefully during cold weather to avoid impact damage to bell ends and pipe body.
