What is mean by schedule 80 for Pipes?
Thicker pipe wall is required to contain higher fluid pressures. For the same fluid pressure, a thicker pipe wall is required for a larger diameter pipe than that required for a pipe of smaller diameter. A schedule of pipe sizes and wall thicknesses has been established by ASTM standards governing manufacturing of pipe. A previous description of pipe wall thicknesses as "Standard", "Extra Strong" and "Double Extra Strong" has been supplanted by a schedule of 10, 20, 30, 40 60, 80, 100, 120 and 160. Schedule 40 pipe generally compares with the previous use of "Standard". For metal pipe, Schedule 80 pipe has a thicker wall and can withstand greater pressures than a Sch 40 pipe. A point of confusion is that for PVC piping, Schedule 80 pipe has a thinner wall than Sch 40 pipe.

Not only is it wrong to use on single wall pipe but is ABSOLUTELY WRONG,WRONG to use single wall pipe!!! replace immediately w/double wall pipe. You have an extremely dangerous fire hazard! almost any gas fueled device produces exhaust which can get extremely hot. A secondary benefit(besides not turning into a crispy critter) of using properly installed double walled pipe is no need to wrap w/insulation.
