How do I determine the correct length and cut without damaging the pipe?

Accepted Answer

- Measure accurately for the run, accounting for fittings and allowances.
- Use a straightedge or ruler to mark a clean cut at the correct length.
- Cut squarely with a fine-toothed saw or pipe cutter.
- Deburr the cut edge to remove burrs and prevent damage to joints.
- Check fit before applying primer and cement.

Question 11

What is the expected service life and performance of this pipe?

Accepted Answer

PVC pipes with corrosion and chemical resistance typically offer long service life in water applications. The 40mm Class 10 pipe’s extra-thick walls contribute to durability under higher pressure, maintaining reliable flow with smooth interior surfaces to reduce head loss.
