PVC compatibility

[john.m.cole3]

Can sched 40 PVC pipe fit a sched 80 gate valve? I'm about to plumb my ghost overflow bean animal style.

yes

The outside diameter of schedule 40 and schedule 80 are the same. The difference in in wall thickness. Fittings are interchangeable between the 2.

Yes but I've found it best to use pvc cleaner on joints before gluing
