Hi.
I live in the world of emt and rgc and I was wondering what is the difference between schedule 40 PVC and schedule 80 PVC.
I know only about sch80 is suitable for physical damage and sch40 is not.
Is there anything else I should know?
Thanks.
 
The difference is the wall thickness and when you take that fact combined with the fact the external dimensions remain the same you relize that schedule 80 has less room for conductors than schedule 40. This can lead to having to bump up a pipe size.
