GOOGLE CPVC, you'll have your answers in 15 seconds.
We don't hold hands here. Shape up or ship out.

2. I've seen two types of CPVC. One is an off-white color and has a smaller inner diameter and wall thickness than regular PVC. The other I've seen and is at the Lowe's and Home Depot near my house is a light gray or black color. It also has a smaller ID (inner diameter) but a thicker wall size to handle higher pressures. Both types fit .53" micro darts (the standard before CDTD's)
3. CPVC is not expensive (something like $4.00 for 5') and can be found in most Home Depots and Lowe's in the sprinkler section.
EDIT: Oops sorry OMC I wrote this before you posted.

The grey/ black stuff is actually Schedule 80 PVC. Many people refer to it as "thin wall". It's a lot looser than CPVC, but the head of a stock micro does not slide all the way in like it would in Sch. 40 PVC (white pvc).
Just thought I should clarify that.

Mcmaster-Carr lists CPVC as Schedule 80 PVC. Captainslug aslo refers to CPVC as Schedule 80 PVC. I believe most people refer to the off-white CPVC as thin wall because the black CPVC has thicker walls and is rated for higher pressures. And all of the micro darts that I've used (with the exception of those that came with the Titan Unity set) can fit inside 1/2" schedule 40 PVC. The only reason I had regular darts that didn't fit was because the foam became too soft and wasn't stiff enough to push the head of the dart all the way into the barrel. But other than that you should be able to fit stock darts inside 1/2" PVC (I have some in it right now).The grey/ black stuff is actually Schedule 80 PVC. Many people refer to it as "thin wall".

Dude, no offence but I don't really give a rat's ass what other people call it. I go by what my hardware store says.
I have never seen anybody here call CPVC anything other than CPVC.
Black PVC (Sch. 80) is actually rated for less pressure than Sch. 40 PVC.
I know that you can fit micros in sch. 40 PVC. I was saying that the head of a regular micro dart does not fit in Sch. 80 (Black) PVC, whereas it does fit all the way in sch. 40 PVC.
Also, black PVC is not CPVC. It is called "Sch. 80 PVC."
I think you may have your PVC's and your CPVC's mixed up.
Also, could you show me a link to where Mcmaster calls it Sch 80? I never use them because I literally live 2 blocks from an ACE hardware.

Thk-Wall (Sch80) Light Gray CPVC Unthrd Pipe 1/2" Pipe Size, .840" OD, .526" ID, 5' Length
SCH40 has a different inner diameter (.602") than SCH80 (.526") but both have the same outer diameter (.84") since plastic pipe fittings only have to mate to the outside of the pipe.

Are there 2 types of sch. 80 (PVC and CPVC)?
CS's link said sch. 80 CPVC. Would this fit in, say, a 1/2'' PVC coupler? Or would it only fit in a 1/2" CPVC coupler?
I was refering to the sch. 80 PVC.
