I am confused about the different 4" sewer drain pipe and how connections are made.
First, there is SCH 35 "PSM" sewer pipe that is green and designated by the ASTM D3034 Standard. It has a Bell fitting at one end and is intended to be connected with a gasket.
The second is just called "PVC sewer pipe", is colored white, and is governed by the ASTM D2729 standard. It too has a bell fitting at one end but I've found no mention of the method of connecting two pipes.
Both types of pipe fit into 4" Sewer and Drain fittings, but the fittings are white and don't indicated how they should be connected to the pipe.
PVC cement is indicated to be used on SCH 40 and SCH 80 pipe but doesn't say a word about any other types of PVC pipe. Can either of the above mentioned pipes be welded with PVC cement? If not, what is used? Thanks.
