Yes and no. If it's buried you would be okay. But if it's exposed there is an issue: Over time, sewer gases will permeate thru the pipe. 2-5 years and then you will small sewer smell. If there is only a short section of pipe exposed, it should not be a problem, but it's something you have to consider.
So the crush resistance is equivalent or better than rigid PVC? Would 4" schedule 40 work for underground drainage, for gutters or french drain work? Thanks.
Can you use a heat gun to bend the pipe more? Is it available in smaller (3/4 in) sizes? Do you have any videos on how to use it, i.e. connections etc. I'm making a solar panel to heat a small amount of water for an outdoor sink. Thought I might use a coil of black FlexPVC laying out in the sun and let convection circulate the water in a small tank at a higher elevation.
Yes, you can use a heat gun, but you have to be very careful. On small diameter pipe you don't really gain much. On 1.5" and up it can make a good difference. We have FlexPVC flexible pvc pipe down to 1/2" IPS size (sch 40). For how to use it, see our videos. flexpvc.com/TechArticles/FlexPVCVidList.shtml and application guidelines: flexpvc.com/Guides/ Thanks

Yes, you can, but you do have to be careful not to overheat the pipe.
