Description
This Class T ABS pressure pipe features a thicker wall construction, making it suitable for machining and threading where required. It provides a robust and reliable solution for industrial systems that demand extra strength while still benefiting from the lightweight and easy handling typical of ABS. The material offers very low moisture absorption, high impact resistance and dependable performance across a wide temperature range, making it suitable for food production, chemical handling and general process applications.
Manufactured to British Standard imperial dimensions based on nominal bore, the pipe integrates seamlessly into existing ABS systems. Secure, permanent joints are made using ABS solvent cement, ensuring fast installation and long-term reliability. As this product is cut to order and tailored to industrial applications, it is non-returnable, so customers should confirm sizing and suitability before purchase.
