Absolutely not. All of our products use the same measurements and dimensions as off-the-shelf plumbing-grade PVC pipe available from your local home center or hardware store.

While our Furniture Grade PVC pipe is clean, glossy and UV resistant, you can certainly use off-the-shelf PVC pipe to build your PVC project with all of our PVC fitting and PVC accessory products.

Furniture Grade PVC is a special formulation of PVC that is of substantially higher quality than what you would purchase at your hardware store or home center.

Furniture Grade PVC is solid in color, glossy and UV resistant. It is also impact proof and completely non-toxic. Furniture Grade fittings and connectors also have smooth, tapered edges are unique in configuration (3-Way, 4-Way, 5-Way, etc.).

Not to worry, we've got you covered.

If you have already purchased the pipe and want to know what size fitting to order, simply download our PVC Size Guide (below), print it to scale, and hold your pipe up to the page.

You can also visit our PVC 101 Tutorial on how PVC is measured and how to read your plumbing-grade PVC pipe.

If you dont yet know what size pipe you need for your project, download our PVC Size Guide and review the actual-size pipe diameters and their attributes (flexible, ridgid, etc.).
