Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's the advantage of flexible PVC over rigid PVC pipe?
A: Flexible PVC is much easier to install because it bends smoothly around curves, rocks, and obstacles without requiring multiple elbows and fittings. This saves you time during installation, reduces the number of potential leak points, and decreases back pressure in your plumbing system for better pump performance. It's especially useful for pond installations where you need to navigate around irregular terrain.
Q: Can I use regular hose clamps to connect this pipe?
A: No, this flexible PVC pipe is designed to be glued only—hose clamps and pipe clamps will not create a secure, leak-free connection. You must use PVC glue (we recommend Spears Flex PVC Glue or Christie's Red Hot Blue PVC Glue) to bond the pipe into Schedule 40 PVC fittings. This creates a permanent, watertight seal that won't leak or come apart.
Q: Will this pipe work in freezing temperatures?
A: Yes! This flexible PVC pipe is rated for temperatures from -10°F to 130°F, making it suitable for year-round use in most climates. However, like all plumbing, you should still drain the pipe before winter if you live in an area with hard freezes to prevent any water inside from expanding and potentially causing damage. The pipe itself can handle the cold temperatures without becoming brittle.
