Clear PVC Schedule 40 Pipe, 2 Inch Diameter (Bluish tint), Choose Your Length

This item is a single piece of 2-inch diameter clear PVC (polyvinyl chloride) pipe, manufactured in accordance with ASTM D1785 Schedule 40 specifications. The pipe has a bluish tint to prevent yellowing from ultraviolet light exposure.

It's important to note that the actual inside diameter (ID) of the pipe is not exactly 2 inches. Per the Schedule 40 specifications, the pipe has an approximate ID of 2.047 inches and an approximate outside diameter (OD) of 2.375 inches. As with all extruded pipe, the inside diameter may vary slightly, with a tolerance of +/- 2% of the stated diameter.

This PVC pipe is designed for use with standard PVC fittings and cement, suitable for Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 applications. It is a rigid pipe, with only a slight amount of flexibility, as is typical for PVC pipe.

The maximum pressure rating for this pipe at 73°F (23°C) is 140 PSI (pounds per square inch). It should not be used with compressed air or gases, as that can cause the pipe to explode and create shrapnel.

When cutting the pipe to length, it is recommended to avoid using a ratchet-style PVC cutter, as that may damage the pipe. Instead, use a saw such as a hacksaw, miter saw, or radial arm saw. Alternatively, you can use a pipe cutter that requires tightening and turning the pipe gradually until it is cut through.

The length tolerance for this pipe is +/- 1/16 inch (approximately 1.6 mm). Please note that the product is sold as the pipe only, without any additional packaging.

The weight of the pipe is approximately 10.1 ounces (286 grams) per foot (0.3 meters). It is important to protect the pipe from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as this can lead to discoloration and potential warping due to the heat.

In summary, this 2-inch diameter clear PVC pipe (Schedule 40) is designed for use with standard PVC fittings and cement, with a bluish tint to prevent UV-induced yellowing. The actual inside diameter is slightly larger than 2 inches, and the pipe is rigid with a maximum pressure rating of 140 PSI at 73°F. Proper cutting techniques should be used to avoid damaging the pipe, and it should be protected from direct sunlight to maintain its integrity.
