I can see thinwalled larger diameter stuff commonly sold for septic
tank and waste and vent use, but not the 1/2" up to 1" sizes they
carry. At the most all any of that would be good for is condensate
drain from an air conditioner....Drain pipe is normally considered to
be 1 1/4 inches and up in the thin wall stuff.....but they stock this
stuff by the truck loads and folks buy and use it for water
lines...IIRC its max working pressure is 200 psi. The thinwalled stuff
certainly does not have any merit used to plumb water supplys, and its
only an accident waiting to happen, or its not going to last that
long..I believe they sell this pipe at the local farm supply for
price and price alone. it costs as much as schedule 40 or 80 does.,
and folks just assume pvc pipe is pvc pipe.

Why anyone would
want that thin of walled pipe for domestic water use is beyond me,

It's intended for use in water systems that are not under pressure, such as sewers.
