The Length of Installed PVC 40 Conduit calculator estimates the length of PVC Schedule 40 Conduit that can be installed based on the Level of Difficulty (lvl), the size (S) of the conduit and the amount of time allocated (t).
INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:
- (S) Size of PVC conduit (choose size from pull-down list)
- (Lvl) Level of Difficulty (choose from pull-down list)
- (t) Time Allocated for Installation
PVC Schedule 40 Conduit Install Length (L): The calculator returns the estimated installed length in feet. However this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.

The Math / Science
PVC is the abbreviation for Polyvinyl Chloride. PVC is the a widely used synthetic material used in many products including pipes. There are two main types of PVC pipes, regular PVC and CPVC which has better properties for handling higher temperatures. PVC Pipes are also characterized by their thickness which is indexed by schedule, where schedule 40 is PVC with thinner walls and schedule 80 has thicker walls. The relationship between length of conduit, size of PVC, level of complexity and the time to install comes from industry standard numbers. The table above is the basis of this calculator and it shows the installation time in hours per 100 feet.
PVC Schedule 40 Conduit Calculators:
PVC 40 Conduit Installation Time: Computes the Estimated Install Time for PVC Schedule 40 conduit based on the conduit size, length of conduit and level of difficulty.- PVC 40 Conduit Installation Length: Computes the Length of PVC Schedule 40 conduit installed based on an installation time period and level of difficulty.
- PVC 40 Conduit Weight: Compute the weight of PVC Schedule 40 conduit or pipe based on size, length and whether it's PVC or CPVC.
- Rolling Offset: Computes the run and travel lengths in a rolling offset
