Charlotte Pipe PVC41120800 Sch 40 Pvc Foam Core Pipe 1-1/2in

Product Description

The Charlotte Pipe Foundry Co. PVC41120800 is a Schedule 40 PVC foam core pipe designed for drain, waste, and vent (DWV) applications in non-pressure systems. Measuring 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 20 feet in length, this pipe features a plain end configuration ready for solvent-cement socket fittings. The foam core construction reduces overall weight compared to solid-wall pipe while maintaining the Schedule 40 outer diameter for full fitting compatibility. Licensed plumbers and plumbing contractors install this pipe in residential and light commercial drain and vent systems. It meets ASTM F-891 and NSF Standard 14 requirements.

This pipe is suited for residential and commercial DWV rough-in work including drain lines, waste stacks, and vent runs where non-pressure service conditions apply. The plain end accepts standard Schedule 40 PVC DWV fittings joined with approved solvent cement. Common install scenarios include new construction plumbing rough-ins, bathroom and kitchen drain runs, and horizontal or vertical vent branch lines within wall and floor cavities.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 outer dimensions for full compatibility with standard PVC DWV fittings
• Foam core construction reduces pipe weight versus solid-wall Schedule 40 pipe
• Plain end configuration for solvent-cement socket fitting connections
• Rated for non-pressure DWV service only
• Meets ASTM F-891 standard for foam core PVC pipe
• NSF Standard 14 listed for potable water system drainage applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard Schedule 40 PVC DWV socket fittings in non-pressure drain, waste, and vent systems. Foam core pipe shares the same outer diameter as solid-wall Schedule 40 pipe, ensuring fitment with compatible couplings, elbows, tees, and other DWV fittings of the same nominal size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and drain the system before cutting into any existing drain or vent line. Use a fine-tooth saw or pipe cutter appropriate for PVC, deburr all cut ends, and apply approved PVC primer and solvent cement rated for DWV foam core pipe. This pipe is rated for non-pressure DWV service only and must not be used in pressurized water supply lines.
