Description
This metric PVCu pipe is engineered for applications requiring increased pressure capability while maintaining excellent durability and dimensional stability. With a higher pressure rating than standard systems, it is well-suited to demanding installations where safety margins and long service life are a priority.
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.
Manufactured in accordance with BS EN 1452 standards, the pipe features a smooth internal surface to support efficient flow and reduce energy loss across the system. Solvent weld jointing provides a robust, permanent connection, creating a homogeneous pipe run when installed correctly. Its resistance to corrosion and many chemicals makes it a practical alternative to traditional metallic pipework in both water and industrial environments.
