In fact, the 3\/4&#8243; pipe has an outer diameter of 1.05&#8243; and inner diameter of 0.82&#8243;. The number represents roughly an average of the inner diameter and outer diameter, depending on what type of PVC pipes (Schedule 40 vs. thicker Schedule 80). <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engineeringtoolbox.com\/pvc-cpvc-pipes-dimensions-d_795.html\">See here for the actual measurements<\/a>.<br \/>\n2. PVC pipes are very inexpensive and easy to put together like Lego blocks. The 10&#8242; 3\/4&#8243; PVC pipe cost me just $2.50. This gave me lots of ideas how to use it for other purposes.
