What pressure ratings are available for your metric PVC pipes?

Our metric PVC pressure pipes are available in several pressure classes, typically ranging from PN6 through to PN16. The correct rating depends on your system's operating pressure and the application. If you're unsure which class you need, get in touch and our team can advise based on your specific setup.

Are these pipes suitable for potable water systems?

Many of our metric PVC pressure pipes are suitable for use in potable water and water treatment systems. We recommend checking the individual product listing for confirmation of WRAS approval or equivalent certification. Our team can also confirm suitability if you contact us directly.

What sizes of metric PVC pressure pipe can I order?

We offer metric PVC pressure pipes across a wide range of outside diameters, from smaller sizes around 16mm up to larger diameters for high-flow applications. Each product listing shows the exact dimensions, wall thickness, and available lengths so you can match them to your system design.

What fittings and accessories are compatible with these pipes?

Our metric PVC pressure pipes are designed to work with standard metric PVC solvent-weld fittings, including elbows, tees, couplings, and flanges. We stock a full range of compatible fittings across the site, so you can source everything you need for a complete pipeline solution in one order.

How do I join metric PVC pressure pipes together?

Metric PVC pressure pipes are typically joined using solvent cement welding, which creates a strong, permanent bond between the pipe and fitting. It's important to use the correct solvent cement for PVC-U and to follow proper preparation and curing procedures. Our team can talk you through the process or recommend the right adhesive products.

What is the chemical resistance of metric PVC pressure pipes?

PVC-U pressure pipes offer excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, alkalis, and saline solutions. This makes them a popular choice in chemical dosing lines, water treatment plants, and industrial processing. For specific chemical compatibility queries, contact us with the media details and we'll advise on suitability.
