it's basically just thinner walled, meaning that the inside diameter for any OD pipe size will be larger and thus able to flow more water through the pipe. you could make them out of schedule 80 if you wanted to, but that would be overkill. durso's don't support any weight or pressure, so you can use pretty much any pipe you want.

Matt, did you use sch40 pipe to make yours? I am making mine now and have them built but I don't know if I'll notice a difference between sch 26 or 40. I would imagine there would be more drain but it still has to reduce to a 1" bh. Have you used yours yet?

Do you have a Lowes? Mine has .75", 1", and 1.25" thinwall.

sixliner6......i used 40 and it's working great for me :)
sjm817......if you were asking me, i don't have any lowes for like an hour from me(3-H.D.'s though)

**i did have to cut an inch off my 4 90's(4-dursos).. because H.D. only carries 1.5" street el's or bigger.
