Underground sprinkler pipe varies depending on the needs of your irrigation system. Many customers enjoy the benefits of the blu-lock piping because it eliminates the need for glue, primer, and clamps. Others prefer to use the traditional SCH 40 and Class 200 PVC pipe to connect their sprinklers from the valves to the sprays or rotors. All of these options can be found online and in-store at Sprinkler Warehouse.

Sprinkler pipe includes PVC and Blu-lock Pipe. Schedule XX designates the wall thickness at a certain size. For example, a 1 pipe in schedule 40 has a wall thickness of .133; schedule 80 has a wall thickness of .179. Class 200 pipe, the most common class pipe used in irrigation, is rated for 200 pounds per square inch pressure (psi) and has a wall thickness of .063 for a 1 pipe. It is thinner than schedule 40. Unlike PVC, blu-lock pipe locks together instead of needing to be glued and primed.
A general method is to use a variety of sprinkler pipes throughout the system. If you choose the traditional PVC pipe, Sprinkler Warehouse recommends using schedule 40 for the mainline of the system and then run that pipe from the water meter, through the backflow, and to the valves. Then use class 200 for the laterals, or after the valves.
It is important to use the appropriate size pipe for your flow rate. Using the correct size will help keep friction low which will help to reduce pressure loss. Do not use a smaller pipe diameter than is recommended. It is better to use a larger pipe diameter rather than a smaller diameter if necessary. In certain instances sizing up can help to compensate for low pressure and or for very long pipe runs.
