As per the above, I would like to purchase a stock length of 3/8" schedule 80 PVC pipe so we can make spacers to custom lengths. Again, this is a 3/8" Inside Diameter. (Outside Diameter at AndyMark is 0.68")
Does anyone know a supplier, or have worked with one? Google searches seem promising but there’s a lot of pipe-based technical lingo that confounds me.
Anything from McMaster that’s long and narrow will ship in rigid cardboard tubes between 2-4" in diameter and 4’-10’ in length depending on the size and quantity ordered.
Call a local plumbing supply house, they probably stock it.
If the yellow pages don’t yield one, call a plumber in town and ask for the name of a plumbing supply house.
Pipe size does not have any logical relationship to actual dimensions. 3/8 schd 80 is commonly available at Home Depot, Lowes, & hardware stores. Typically as nipples rather than long sections of pipe.
Schd 80 refers to wall thickness. Be careful to not get the more common Schd 40. 3/8 pipe is .675" OD, schd 80 has a .423" ID
