At LESSO America, we work closely with engineers and system designers across North America to supply materials that meet the demands of industrial applications. When it comes to industrial piping, we've seen how Schedule 80 PVC plays a vital role in supporting long-term system reliability. Its thicker walls, higher pressure capacity, and smooth interior surface make it a strong choice for chemical processing, water treatment, and manufacturing systems.

Why Schedule 80 PVC Makes Sense for Industrial Use

Not every industrial system requires metal piping. In many cases, Schedule 80 PVC offers a cost-effective, corrosion-resistant alternative—especially when the system transports non-flammable liquids, chemicals, or wastewater. Its thicker walls give it the strength needed to handle higher internal pressure, while its chemical resistance helps protect against corrosion in aggressive environments.

Compared to metal, Schedule 80 PVC is lighter and easier to work with, reducing installation labor and equipment requirements. This advantage can be especially helpful in complex or overhead installations where accessibility is limited.

Smooth Bore Design for Improved Flow and Reduced Wear

Fluid efficiency matters in every industrial system. One of the standout features of our Schedule 80 PVC pipe is its smooth bore, which allows fluids to move through the system with minimal friction. This design not only helps reduce energy loss in pumped systems but also minimizes the buildup of scale and residue over time.

By improving flow and reducing the risk of blockage or wear, this feature contributes directly to lowering maintenance frequency and extending the life of the system. For engineers designing high-performance systems, this becomes a key factor in long-term planning.

Matching Components for Seamless Installation

As a trusted provider of industrial piping components, we supply more than just the pipe. We offer a full line of compatible Schedule 80 PVC fittings, including elbows, tees, unions, and valves. All our components are manufactured to ASTM standards and tested for consistency, so system designers can focus on performance without worrying about mismatched parts.

We understand that industrial applications often require specific pressure ratings and chemical compatibility. That's why we offer technical guidance and product documentation to support material selection during the early phases of project design.

Designed for Demanding Environments

Whether it's high temperatures, heavy flow rates, or frequent cleaning cycles, industrial systems face constant pressure. Our Schedule 80 PVC products are engineered to withstand these challenges while maintaining structural integrity over time. We also offer options with UV protection for outdoor installations and certifications to meet local and industry-specific codes.
