Durable, but could look better By Russ K on 7/2/2015
Russ K would recommend this product to a friendThese are far from being an eye-sore, so don't get me wrong. However, if your pipes are going to be visible there are a few things you should know.
1) There is a line of red writing running the length of the pipe. You'll want to rotate so it's not visible.
2) There are slight color variations between each 5 foot piece. Individually you can't tell, but when you put two pieces next to each other (or joined by a fitting) it becomes visible.
3) I had ordered two pieces; one piece I considered the "show piece" and used it for my highly visible plumbing. The other piece was scratched and pretty rough going down the length of the pipe.
Overall I suggest ordering an extra piece or two just in case. -
Good Pipe By Mike on 4/15/2015
Mike would recommend this product to a friendpipe seems good quality, wish it didn't have the red writing on it though (had to remember to turn the writing away from view when gluing lol) -

Joe would recommend this product to a friend100 x better than schedule 40. If you can afford it, do it. -
It's a pipe... or is it? By MKaplan on 1/20/2015
MKaplan would recommend this product to a friendIt's a piece of 5' Sch 80 PVC pipe. Not much more that can be said of it than that. I'd maybe describe it as "Dark Grey" as it's closer to that end of the spectrum. But it does look a bit "cleaner" than the white Sch 40.
That said, something to remember is that at the end of the day, it's the water that your pipe moves that is more important than the way it looks. Sch 80. is extra thick. So for all the small diameter pipes it really starts to cut into the ability of the pipe to move water. -
Solid Pipe; don't forget it's thicker inside By Brandon on 1/30/2014
Brandon would recommend this product to a friendThis is a great well made product. I preferred to pay more for SCH 80 than SCH 40 as I wanted my plumbing to be as stealthy as possible (plus the added benefit of seeing salt creep easier) . -
Great quality By John on 12/28/2013
John would recommend this product to a friendTrying to cut this pipe with a hack saw takes a long time and it almost impossible to make a strait cut. I went out and got a chop saw and now I can make perfect cuts every time. -
HIdes the primer well By William on 3/27/2013
William would recommend this product to a friendReally not much to say about this product, at the end of the day it's just PVC. The one thing that I did really like was the dark color. Now I don't have purple and white plumbing as I with past plumbing jobs that I've done. -
HEAVY DUTY BUT NOT BLACK By kelly on 12/6/2012
kelly would recommend this product to a friendThe Sch. 80 is nice heavy duty piping that you won't have to worry about, but it's not black it's gray. Still looks a lot better than white. -
Great value but inconsistent finish quality By Auggie on 9/13/2012
Auggie would recommend this product to a friendPrice is definitely great when combined on a $175+ order for free shipping...
But I really chose schedule 80 for a "cleaner" look than the scratched up, mis-matched white schedule 40 at the local big-box hardware stores. Unfortunately, schedule 80 pipes suffer the same finish quality issues that leave me wanting with white schedule 40's as the two #80 pipes I got from BRS were wholly different shades of grey and they were pretty scratched up. I can deal with the scratches but the mis-matched grey colors really put me off.
What is the outside deminsions of the 2"? I have an octopus skimmer and need to extend one of the return pipes. It looks like the internal dimensions of the fittings on the skimmer is 2".
Thanks.
Al

Great question! All plumbing fittings for the Reef Octopus products are metric. You would need the 63mm to 2" Metric to Standard PVC Adapter to convert to US Standard. :-)

Does this pipe sink? (if i were to use it for hiding spots in a QT, or rock stands)

Hey there,
Both schedule 80 and schedule 40 pipe and fittings are heavier than water and will readily sink in your aquarium.
Have a great day!
