    Thanks
    Schedule 40 is sufficient. I use a lot of 1 1/2 hard and TigerFlex. I have a 1hp full-rated Superpump.

    Remember that not all white PVC is schedule 40, especially fittings and couplings. In the part of NY where I live, Home Depot carries a lot of non-rated fittings. Lowe's has Sched 40 fittings.
