Frequently Asked Questions
The “1/2 inch” label is a nominal size. For 1/2″ Schedule 40 PVC pipe, the actual outside diameter is approximately 0.840″ (13⁄16″) and the inside diameter averages about 0.622″ with a minimum wall thickness of 0.109″. This sizing standard allows for compatibility with fittings and ensures structural consistency.
es — this pipe is extruded from high-quality, UV-resistant structural-grade resins, giving it superior durability against sun exposure, weathering, and long-term use in indoor or outdoor applications.
Absolutely. You can use standard PVC cement for permanent joints, or you can opt for set screws or removable fasteners if you plan disassembly later. The furniture grade tolerances allow for both structural strength and flexible assembly.
Match the nominal size: use 1/2″ fittings (for example, 1/2″ 3-Way elbows, 1/2″ tees) with the 1/2″ pipe. Even though the actual diameter is ~0.840″, the fittings are designed for that size to maintain compatibility and performance.
This size is perfect for smaller or lightweight builds — model furniture, educational kits, photo booth frames, craft displays, table frames, and solutions where strength matters but heavy structural loads are not required.
