What's the difference between green and white sewer pipe?
The green sewer pipe is fragile with thin walls and cannot be pressurized, so it is only used for gravity-fed wastewater drainage systems. Comparatively, white sewer pipe is made of durable PVC piping that can be pressurized and is very durable.
Does green sewer pipe need to be glued?
Sewer pipe is not designed to be glued. There is a gasket in the bell that keeps it tight and from leaking. It's a lot cheaper to run either corrugated pipe or schedule 40.
