Class 6 PVC Pipe

Key specs: 4-inch (approximately 100 mm) diameter, 6 meters long, made of PVC, CL-6 quality rating, suitable for plumbing environments, lightweight, corrosion- and chemical-resistant, and recyclable.

Yes. It’s designed for potable water supply in addition to irrigation and drainage. Always ensure compliance with your local plumbing codes and use approved fittings and solvents for connections.

Typical installation steps: measure and cut to length, deburr the cut edges, dry-fit to check alignment, apply PVC primer and solvent cement to joints, assemble with solvent-welded connections, and support the pipe with clamps or hangers at regular intervals to prevent sagging.

Socket joints with solvent-weld fittings are standard for PVC pipes like this. Use a compatible PVC cement/primer system and pair with elbows, tees, couplings, and end caps designed for 4" CL-6 pipe.

Yes. It’s versatile enough for potable water, irrigation systems, and drainage/wwater transport. Ensure the specific application complies with local codes and the pipe specifications for pressure and exposure conditions.

Store it in a shaded, dry area away from prolonged direct sunlight. Keep it off the ground if possible, avoid sharp impact, and handle with care since it’s long. If needed, cut into shorter lengths for easier transport.

CL ratings indicate strength/pressure capacity. CL-6 is a standard, durable option suitable for typical plumbing tasks. Lower CL ratings (e.g., CL-4) may be cheaper but offer less pressure tolerance, while higher CL ratings (e.g., CL-7) provide more strength at a higher cost. Always match CL to your system’s pressure requirements.

Yes, it’s designed for outdoor use and underground applications where exposed to soil and environmental elements. Ensure proper burial depth, backfill, and protection according to local codes and install with appropriate fittings and supports.

PVC is recyclable in many areas. After its service life, check local recycling facilities for PVC pipes and fittings. Recycling helps minimize waste and supports sustainable use of materials.

Plan your run, mark the exact length, use a sharp PVC pipe cutter, and cut straight to avoid misalignment. Deburr the cut edge to ensure a clean fit, then dry-fit before applying primer and cement for a secure solvent-weld joint.
