"For years I have had to deal with the hazards of PVC and an unsound joint or broken parts where you had no choice but to remake them and toss out good pipe work. Your RAM bits are fantastic. Being a Maintenance Manager for 20 Burger Kings I can tell you, I do my fair share of PVC work. Your Staff and company as a whole was a pleasure to do business with. Thank you."

Q. "What does schedule pipe mean? Schedule 40? Schedule 80? and Class 200?"
A. The pipe schedule refers to the pipe wall thickness. The higher the schedule, the thicker the pipe wall. For example:
2-inch nominal size pipe: schedule 40 has a wall thickness of 0.154 inches and schedule 80 has a wall thickness of 0.218 inches.
4-inch nominal size pipe: schedule 40 has a wall thickness of 0.237 inches and schedule 80 has a wall thickness of 0.318 inches.
Class 200 - 2-inch nominal size pipe: has a wall thickness of 0.113
Class 200 - 4-inch nominal size pipe: has a wall thickness of 0.214
As you can see, the relationship between schedule and wall thickness changes with the pipe nominal size; we always suggest double checking your pipe size & pipe wall thickness to ensure you are getting the proper equipment every time.
Q. "Will the RamBit work with CTS sized CPVC?"
A. No. CTS (Copper Tube Size) CPVC has a different inside/outside diameter than schedule 80 CPVC. We offer CTS CPVC fitting savers for 1/2" and 3/4" here.
Q. "What is solvent welding?"
A. Solvent welding is the process in which the surface of parts to be joined are treated with a solvent. This softens the surfaces. Then, by applying pressure to the joint and with the evaporation of the solvent, the two surfaces bond.
