Genova Pipe has an alignment line on their PVC pipe. My local mom and pop hardware store carries Genova, I don't know what other stores carry it.

Genova is good shtuff. I normally get Charlotte. Their fittings even feel better.

Some manufacturers put out "rough" fittings. I like em slick.

I wish I could always use the leterring as a reference. The suppliers set the dwv pipe outside and I must find the bow and lay the pipe according to the bow.

I am with the OCD crowd

Letters lined up always, I cried when the suppliers stopped carrying Genova with the reference line

it was always good straight pipe, I line up the slots on any slotted head screws, etc

I did some remodel work in a Wal-Mart super center a couple of years ago. In the freezer isle there are several floor drains for the units. We had some vent pipe overhead. Not noticible at all, 20 feet in the air. They made me clean all the lettering off the pipe. I scraped it off with a razor blade, long and boring work.

If I was doing it by the hour, I'd use razor or sandcloth. If I was doing it flat rate, then spray paint it or use clear cleaner!
