PVC is commonly used for drains, but I've never heard of it for water supply. I don't think it is acceptable for drinking water.

In my area PVC 40 is OK , but I went to the irrigation supplier and used sch 80 w/ primer and # 711 glue. No problems.
Try to avoid the male thread adapters, I have experienced the threads breaking off

Schedule 40 is meant for constant pressure systems, such as your water supply. This can be used for you supply to your home. But check with you city first -- some are picky have specific requirements.

yes it is ..schedule forty is like a universal pipe ...just when you use it on the outside bury at least two feet deep ..preferbly put about 4 inches of sand in ditch brfore running pipe ..also use cleaner on each peice before you apply glue allow a few seconds between cleaner and gluing ..this allows for the ecess cleaner to evaporate ...which results in better glue bond ...after you glue pipe twist a quarter of turn before glue sets ..result in better bond which means no leaks
