Whats the diffrence between dwv or what ever its called and pvc?
dwv is pvc, it just cheap pvc. presure rated pvc is a much higher quality and is much stronger.
"physics, gravity, and law enforcement are the only things that prevent me from operating at my full potential" - not sure, but i like the quote

pvc is pressure rated and dwv is not
nay.
PVC- polyvinyl chloride, is just that, PVC. DWV and PW refer to the ratings of the joints, namely the depth of the sockets. Cell core is just foam pvc basically and does not carry any pressure rating. SCH 40/80 refer to wall whickness, and therefore pressure. but you can have SCH-40 DWV, and it'll still be failure prone.

There are rules, and then there are hundred dollar bills.

Thanks you. I didn't understand what someone was asking me when they said that.
well, its always a good idea to get pipe that says PW, and you must for joints.
Rule of thumb: it it says PW, its good. if it says DWV, dont get it. if it says nothing, ask.

Also while at the hardware store always look at the box. if you need a elbow don't just grab one look for pw.

What is the difference between pipe marked "not for pressure" and the pipe which has a pressure rating on it? I'm not talking about cellcore pipe here; at my local Lowes, there is solid pipe marked "not for pressure". What makes it not for pressure, and what is the difference between it and pressure rated pipe?
