PVC pipe

PVC pipe, each piece is two feet long, with one end having a belled end. Does anyone know how we might purchase this? It seems like all of the PVC runs much longer and we don't want to do all of the cutting. Thanks. Any help would be appreciated.

Bell end pipe is going to be 10' (conduit) or 20' (water pipe), That is just the way they make it. You may find 10' bell end water pipe somewhere but I have never seen it.

You can put couplers on it or you will be wasting 8' of pipe on each stick.

The box stores sell shorter lengths of straight pipe, but you will spend ab= out the same $$ on a 2' length as you will a 10' length.

Also, no bell on the end.

I've never seen 2" PVC with a belled end, myself. The only PVC I've seen wi= th a belled end is 4" drainage pipe.

When I did HVAC, my boss used to use a mitre saw to cut PVC. Worked very nicely.

A friend of mine is creating a game and he is looking for 2 inch schedule 40 PVC pipe, each piece is two feet long, with one end having a belled end. Does anyone know how we might purchase this?

In your case, just about any powered saw should make short work of the project:

You can also get white sch 40 water pipe with a bell end but I have only seen in it 20' sticks. Lowes even has it some places but it will be in the back, not out on the floor. I got it in 2" and 3" at the Ft Myers store when I was plumbing my pool.

I wonder if any plumbing places would have 2" x 24" PVC pipe nipples. I'm guessing not likely and expensive if so. And I wonder if some heat and an automotive tail pipe expander would work if you need a bell end instead of a glue on/screw on coupler.

If he wants them cut accurately, asking a distributor without the proper tools is not a good idea. No telling what you will get.

That makes much more sense

I would double check that, I would say it would cost at least twice as much for precut pipe..

Buy a miter box or cheap miter saw. In the end it will be way cheaper than buying precut pipe.

If you don't want to do all the cutting and capping, hire a plumber to make the pieces.

Or find a handyman type that has a table saw. Might even use Craigslist to find someone. It's certainly going to be cheaper to pay a guy like that $25 to cut long lengths of cheap pipe than buying 2 ft lengths of PVC at HD.

If someone cuts them, then you can glue the cap on the ends. A cap is apparently what she means by "bell end". I would have thought it would mean the pipe that has one end expanded so that you don't need a coupling. But her clarrification indicates it is a cap.
