depends what sizes you're using, if you are using the same inside diameter piping (2" sch. 40 and 2" sch 80) then no, it will not.

well if i remember correctly i want a 1.5 in sch 40 pipe to fit in a 2 in sch 80 pipe because sch 80 hase a thiker wall than sch40. Right

Sch 80 has a higher thickness hence the higher number.

oh yeah, 1.5" fits nicely inside 2" sch.40 and 80, sch. 80 into sch. 40 will probably be pretty tight, might need some lube
