Good flexible PVC

[dean1977]

Can someone link me or tell me where to get flexible PVC that glues into 1 inch SCH80 fittings. Thanks

www.savko.com also has pretty good prices on flex. All of it should fit into Sch 40 or 80 PVC.

I've ordered from flexpvc.com twice in the past and I am very happy with them.

Most of them only say SCH40 and I was wondering about 80. Does anyone know if it effects water flow?

Sch40 pipe and Sch80 pipe have the same OD, so the fittings are interchangeable.

Of course, that means the ID of Sch80 is smaller than Sch40, so Sch80 pipe will flow less.

Can you PVC glue the spa flex into fittings?

Is there any place that sell spa flex pvc by the foot? I only need approx. 6 feet.

If you are ordering it, order cement specially formulated for flex PVC. It remains slightly flexible after it dries. Standard cement bonds can sometimes break because standard cement dries rigid.

This is more of an issue in outside plumbing installations.
