Description
This metric PVCu pipe is designed for reliable fluid conveyance in pressurised systems where long-term performance and dimensional accuracy are essential. Manufactured to recognised European and UK standards, it offers excellent chemical resistance, smooth internal bores for efficient flow, and consistent wall thickness throughout.
The solvent weld jointing method creates a strong, permanent bond when installed correctly, making it suitable for both new installations and system upgrades. Its rigid construction and corrosion resistance make it a dependable choice for water distribution and a wide range of industrial applications where metal pipework is impractical or undesirable.
Ensure the correct PVCu Solvent Cement and MEK Cleaner are used. Brushes should be used to apply these fluids once the pipe has been cleaned with an Emery Cloth or similar product.
