        Answer This Question

        A:  PVC Schedule 40 Foam Core Pipe is for DWV purposes only. It is for non-pressure systems where temperatures will not exceed 140° F. It is coextruded and has a cellular core. For pressurized situations, you'd need to get schedule 40 solid wall PVC.

            A:  Hi, Yadi - We don't supply a 5' length to Home Depot. You can either use a PVC coupler or purchase a longer stick and cut it down to 5'.

              A:  Hi, Larry - Sch 40 PVC has a little flexibility but certainly would not bend into a loop on its own. However, check on-line videos on ways to heat it from within (like hot sand) that will allow you to shape it as needed.

                A:  If you're looking for a bend radius of a few feet or less, then no. 1/2" or 3/4" PEX would work better.

                    A:  We don't test the product for those kinds of applications, so we cannot accurately answer. If you try it, it would be at your own risk. You might consider a "peeler" log from the lumber department.
