PVC Sewer Pipe | SCH | SDR | BDS

PVC solid sewer pipe is used for the collection of waste and stormwater from domestic sources. Readily available in 3”, 4”, and 6”. All in triple wall and solvent.

PVC perforated sewer pipe is used for septic fields and foundation drainage. Readily available in 3”, 4”, and 6”. All in triple wall and solvent.

ASTM Solvent Weld PVC Pipe is used for residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural waste water and other non-pressure applications. Available in 3", 4", and 6" in both solid and perforated.

Gasketed Sewer pipe is used for:
• gravity storm and sanitary lines
• gravity industrial lines
• private drain connections

PVC is the most popular pipe material for sanitary and storm sewer applications due to its combination of chemical resistance, stiffness, and durability.

SDR 26, SDR 28, and SDR 35 Gasketed Sewer Pipe is available from 4" to 24" in diameter. Certified to CSA
B182.2 and ASTM D3034.

BDS (Building Drainage and Sewer) pipe is a solvent weld sewer pipe, available in solid or perforated from 2
to 6" in diameter. Solid sewer pipe is used for the collection of waste and stormwater from domestic sources. Perforated sewer pipe is used for septic fields and foundation drainage.

The benefits of BDS include:

• Corrosion resistance
• Quick and easy installation
• Excellent flow properties
• Lightweight
• Built to last
• Cost effective

Triple Wall Pipe is triple bonded polyethylene, creating exceptional pipe stiffness. Featuring a smooth inner and outer walls with a corrugated structural core.

The benefits of Triple Wall Pipe include:

• Provides enough strength and flexibility to withstand freezing and thawing conditions, or continuous freeze without cracking.
• High corrosion resistance to salt, acid, and alkalies.

ASTM pipe refers to pipes that are made to the standards set by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). ASTM standards are guidelines that ensure that materials used in manufacturing are high quality and perform as expected.

ASTM standards specify the physical, mechanical, design, and installation requirements for plastic pipes, tubing, and fittings. These pipes are used in water distribution systems, waste drainage systems, and more.

SDR stands for Standard Dimension Ratio, which is a measurement used to rate a pipe's durability and working pressure capacity. It's calculated by dividing the pipe's outside diameter by its minimum wall thickness. A lower SDR indicates a thicker wall and a higher pressure rating, while a higher SDR indicates a thinner wall and a lower pressure rating.

SDR 35 is a type of pipe that's designed to be more flexible than Schedule 40 pipe. This flexibility makes SDR 35 a good choice for underground pipes, where they can bend with the shifting and settling of the ground. SDR 35 pipes are also lightweight, easy to install, and resistant to corrosion, cracking, and splitting.

When it comes to plumbing, one of the key factors to consider is the required pressure rating for your system. Choosing the correct pressure rating will help reduce the risk of pipe failures, expensive maintenance, and overall safety. Whether you’re working on a residential plumbing job or large scale infrastructure, we can help supply the best piping for your needs.

A pressure rating is the maximum internal pressure a pipe or component can safely withstand without failure. There are a few components that influence pressure ratings, which we’ve broken down below.

Pressure Rating Terminology

1. Working Pressure (PSI/Bar/PN): This is the maximum continuous pressure a pipe is designed to handle under normal operating conditions. It’s often expressed in pounds per square inch (PSI), bar (metric), or Pressure Nominal (PN) for some plastic pipes.
2. Burst Pressure: This is the pressure at which a pipe is expected to rupture. There’s typically a safety factor built in, meaning the burst pressure is often 2-3 times higher than the rated working pressure.
3. Standard Dimension Ratio (SDR): For some plastic pipes (like PVC), SDR is used to express the relationship between the pipe’s outer diameter and its wall thickness (SDR = OD/wall thickness). A higher SDR number indicates a thinner wall and thus a lower pressure rating. For example, SDR 26 has a lower pressure rating than SDR 17.
4. Pipe Schedule: This number (e.g., Schedule 40, Schedule 80, Schedule 160) indicates the wall thickness of the pipe. A higher schedule number means a thicker wall, resulting in a smaller internal diameter but greater strength and pressure resistance.
   • Schedule 10: Thin-walled, typically for low-pressure applications where weight and cost are concerns.
   • Schedule 40: Considered “standard,” used for a wide range of medium-pressure applications.
   • Schedule 80: “Extra strong,” thicker walls for higher pressure or increased toughness.
   • Schedule 160: The thickest standard wall, “double extra strong,” for very high-pressure requirements.

• Safety: The paramount concern. Undersized or under-rated pipes can lead to catastrophic failures, leaks, bursts, and potential harm to personnel and property.
• System Integrity: Ensures the piping system remains structurally sound and functions as intended over its lifespan.
• Longevity: Properly rated pipes are less susceptible to stress, fatigue, and premature failure, extending the system’s operational life.
• Compliance: Meeting industry standards and regulatory requirements for safe operation.
