Description
This Class E PVCu pipe is the highest pressure-rated option in the range, making it ideal for demanding water and industrial systems. The PVCu construction provides excellent resistance to corrosion, chemicals and general wear, while remaining lightweight enough for easy handling during installation.
The smooth internal bore supports efficient flow across high-pressure applications, and the solvent weld jointing system ensures strong and permanent connections throughout the pipeline. Its imperial nominal bore sizing guarantees full compatibility with standard PVCu fittings, valves and accessories.
