Description
This Class E ABS pressure pipe offers high strength and dependable performance for more demanding pressure systems, supporting operating pressures up to 15 bar at 20°C. Widely used in food production, water treatment and a range of general industrial processes, it provides excellent resistance to diluted inorganic acids, salts, animal fats and many organic acids. Its low moisture absorption and high impact resistance ensure long service life even in challenging environments.
The pipework is manufactured to British Standard imperial sizing based on nominal bore, ensuring compatibility across recognised ABS systems. Lightweight, rigid and simple to install with solvent cement, it delivers a clean, reliable connection throughout the system. As this industrial pipe is cut to order and bespoke in nature, it is non-returnable, so customers are encouraged to verify sizing and application requirements before purchasing.
