Schedule 80 PVC has a number of benefits that contribute to its place as one of the most widely used Piping materials in the world. For one, it is a cost effective material and is widely available. PVC is also lightweight and easy to handle and install. Other than a saw and PVC cement, no other special tools are needed for installation (unlike other pipe materials). That makes for fast install times and attractive labor costs.
Schedule 80 PVC is also capable of handling higher pressures than schedule 40 PVC and other types of pipe. PVC, unlike metal, is corrosion resistant and will not rust. That means pipes stay well preserved even after years of liquid handling. PVC does not pit, scale or breakdown when exposed to moisture.
One of the greatest benefits of SCH 80 PVC is its resistance to a range of chemicals. It is resistant to most salts, acids, bases, oxidants and more. Always refer to chemical resistance data to be sure PVC will work for your application.
