Description
These premium clear rigid UPVC tube offcuts offer a practical way to source shorter lengths of high‑quality pressure-rated tube for engineering, fabrication and maintenance tasks. Manufactured to PN10 specification, they provide excellent mechanical strength and reliable performance in demanding environments.
Supplying a crystal-clear finish for easy visual inspection of contents, these UPVC tube offcuts are ideal for prototype assemblies, test rigs, educational projects, light-duty process lines and general workshop use. Each pack includes two lengths of tube with a 50 mm outside diameter, 2.4 mm wall thickness and 2000 mm length, ready to cut, machine and adapt to your application.
Product Features
- Clear rigid UPVC construction for excellent visibility of flow and contents.
- Pressure-rated to PN10 for robust performance in suitable low to medium pressure systems.
- Outside diameter: 50 mm, suitable for a wide range of fittings and connectors.
- Wall thickness: 2.4 mm, offering a strong yet lightweight tube profile.
- Standard length of 2000 mm per tube, supplied as a pack of 2 offcuts.
- Smooth internal bore for reduced frictional losses and ease of cleaning.
- Good resistance to many chemicals, oils and cleaning agents commonly used in industry.
Key Features and Benefits
- High mechanical strength helps resist impact and handling damage, supporting long service life in workshop and plant environments.
- Chemical resistance makes these tubes suitable for use with a wide range of aqueous solutions and non-aggressive chemicals, reducing risk of degradation.
- Clear transparency allows immediate visual inspection of flow, blockages, contamination or air pockets without dismantling the system.
- Lightweight compared with metal alternatives, making handling, cutting and installation quicker and easier on site or in the workshop.
- Consistent 50 mm OD and 2.4 mm wall thickness provide predictable fit with compatible fittings and simplify design and fabrication work.
- Supplied as offcuts in 2000 mm lengths, helping minimise waste and offering a cost-effective option for smaller projects and repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can these clear UPVC tube offcuts be cut to shorter lengths?
Yes, the tubes can be cut to size using suitable tools such as a fine-toothed saw or tube cutter for plastics. Ensure cuts are square and edges are deburred to maintain a good fit with any fittings.
Are these tubes suitable for use with drinking water?
The tubes are manufactured from rigid UPVC, which is widely used in water systems. However, suitability for potable water depends on compliance with relevant local regulations and approvals. Always check system requirements and standards before using in drinking water applications.
Can these UPVC tubes be used outdoors and in direct sunlight?
UPVC has good weathering resistance, but prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and UV can lead to surface discolouration and embrittlement over time. For long-term outdoor use, it is advisable to provide shielding or supports and to inspect the installation regularly.
