Low pressure supply pipe shall be a minimum of?

Understanding pipe schedules shows how thick the pipe walls are and what pressures the pipe is built to handle. For a low‑pressure supply line, you still need enough wall thickness to resist pressure surges, handling during installation, and to match standard fittings. Among common options, the baseline wall thickness used for typical supply lines provides reliable strength, good availability, and compatibility with standard components—that's Schedule 40. A thinner wall would be more prone to leaks or failure under service conditions, while thicker schedules are intended for higher pressures or special situations. So the minimum appropriate choice in this standard context is the standard wall thickness designated for general use.
