How tough is our Flexible PVC Pipe?

We get asked this all the time. Can you bury it? To answer this question, we took a piece of standard 2" Flex PVC Pipe and ran over it with a small pickup. See the pictures yourself.







The pipe was deformed slightly, but returned to it's normal shape after several minutes. In this test we ran over a piece of pipe sitting on a concrete surface. If you bury the pipe just a foot or so underground, you should be fine. Just follow your local building code. (Usuallly 18" to 24" underground.)

DISCLAIMER: The above is for demonstration purposes only. We do not warranty that your pipe will be able to withstand such abuse. Merchandise damaged as a result of carelessness, improper handling, rodents, insects, misapplication or running over it with a truck on a concrete surface is specificallly excluded from the warranty.

Application Guidelines: Flexible PVC Pipe should not be used in conditions of constant pressure exceeding the working pressure specifications. There should always be a flow through the pipe. Constant "dead head" pressure will balloon the pipe and eventually it will fail. Please keep this information in mind when selecting flexible PVC pipe for a project. All white Flexible PVC pipe 1/2" to 2" we sell meets applicable UPC, USPC, ANSI, IAMPO, and NSF 50 (white only) specifications, as well as City of LA, Southern Building Code, and Dade County for PVC Hose, but is not for use with potable water. The gray flexible PVC is approved for UL in sizes 1/2", 3/4" 1" & 2" for electrical conduit, but you have to specify "UL rated" in the "comments" section on your order and there is a 10% addition to the price of the pipe. Only gray is available with a UL rating. There are no ratings for black flexible PVC pipe so there are none to meet. Beige flexible pvc pipe has been discontinued.

*Note regarding flexible PVC pipe 2.5" or above, and gray or black colored flexible PVC: There are no plumbing or swimming pool codes for flexible pvc pipe 2.5" and above so these sizes of flexible pvc pipe can't meet any. The color for 2.5" and above is black or gray. Flexible PVC pipe in 2.5" and larger sizes only available by the roll or 4' sections, 8' sections, by the foot and sometimes in the clearance section. Black flexible PVC pipe is only approved for irrigation and pools. Also see shipping cost for additional shipping information. The beige color has been discontinued.
