Charlotte Pipe PVC231550600HC Sdr 13.5 Pvc Pipe 315 Psi

Product Description

The Charlotte Pipe Foundry Co. PVC231550600HC is a solid-wall, plain-end PVC pressure pipe rated for demanding water and fluid distribution systems. Manufactured to SDR 13.5 dimensional standards, this pipe carries a 315 psi pressure rating, making it well suited for high-pressure potable water supply and irrigation distribution lines. It measures 0.5 inches in nominal diameter and comes in 10-foot lengths. Compliance with ASTM D-2241 governs dimensional tolerances and material performance, while NSF Standard 14 and 61 certification confirms suitability for contact with potable water. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers.

This pipe is designed for pressure-rated applications in residential and light commercial plumbing, well water systems, and underground or above-ground potable water distribution. The plain end configuration accepts solvent-weld socket fittings or threaded adapters. At 0.5 inches nominal diameter, it fits standard half-inch PVC fittings commonly used in supply branch lines and irrigation laterals. The solid wall construction provides consistent wall thickness along the full 10-foot run, supporting reliable pressure containment across the service life of the installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before cutting into an existing system. Use PVC primer and solvent cement rated for pressure service when joining plain-end pipe to socket fittings; do not omit primer on pressure-rated assemblies. Protect pipe from prolonged UV exposure if installed above ground.
