Description
The PVC S-40 refers to Schedule 40 PVC, a type of polyvinyl chloride piping commonly used in plumbing, irrigation, and construction applications. It is known for its durability, corrosion resistance, and ability to handle moderate pressure. Schedule 40 PVC is widely used for water distribution, drainage, and chemical transport due to its smooth interior surface, which helps maintain efficient flow. Additionally, PVC S-40 solvent cement is a fast-setting adhesive designed for joining Schedule 40 PVC pipes and fittings. It ensures strong, leak-proof connections and is often used with a primer to enhance bonding.
