FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
What is 6” schedule 40 tube? Is the tube at my hardware store schedule 40 pipe?
Schedule 40 pipe is the most commonly used pipe schedule but not the only type of tube/pipe available for sale. It can be plastic or metal and is usually used in water or exhaust lines. Schedule 40 makes a great pipe due to its versatility and performance strength. The word schedule 40 specifically defines the wall thickness of the pipe. Pipe MUST sale sch40 on the outside of the pipe or the pipe is NOT schedule 40 pipe.
Can I uses 6” SDR tube with components on this site? Is ATM-D-2241 the same as schedule 40?
The OD of the pipe is common among various pipe schedules. SDR pipes come in various values and have a variety of wall thicknesses. SDR pipe will not work with components made for schedule 40 pipe. ASTM 2241 pipe is a SDR pipe and is NOT schedule 40 pipe.
Where is my tube? The pictures show tube and my package doesn’t include a tube.
The tubes are shown for reference and are not included unless the order specifically states that the tube is included. The tube is shown to allow the understand how the pods and mounts fit onto the tube.
