Which Types Do U-PVC Pressure Clean Water Pipes Come In?

The details below come from the official product pages.

Jointed or Solvent Weld PVC Pipe?

• Jointed: Pipes push into each other, so installation is fast.

• Solvent weld: Pipes are bonded with special PVC adhesive, so the joint is permanent.

• Con of jointed: The pipe end and socket must be clean and well aligned.

• Con of solvent weld: The adhesive needs time to cure, and the joint cannot be taken apart.

What Are the Sizes and Pressure Classes?

Short answer: the smallest uPVC pressure pipe is Ø32 (1 inch) and the largest is Ø400 (16 inch). Wall thickness grows with the pressure class. At Ø110:

• PN 4: 2.2 mm

• PN 6: 2.7 mm

• PN10 PVC pipe: 4.2 mm

• PN16 PVC pipe: 6.6 mm

How Do You Choose the Pressure Class?

Never pick a class below the line's working pressure. Confirm the highest line pressure with your project data.

Where Is a Potable Water Pipe Like This Used?

• Drinking water networks

• Clean water lines in housing projects

• Water lines in industrial plants

• Main lines for agricultural irrigation

U-PVC or Metal Pipe?

• Pro: U-PVC does not rust and resists corrosion and chemical wear.

• Pro: It is lighter than metal, so it is easier to carry and lay.
