Description
This premium metric pressure pipe is manufactured from high-quality grey PVCu and rated to PN10 (10 bar), providing a robust, lightweight solution for pressurised potable water systems. Designed to metric dimensions, it offers reliable performance and easy integration into new installations or existing pipework.
Ideal for commercial, industrial and domestic water distribution, this pressure pipe delivers dependable flow, excellent corrosion resistance and straightforward handling on site. Available in a choice of outside diameters, wall thicknesses and standard lengths, it is well suited to plant rooms, process lines, irrigation systems and general building services.
Product Features
- Metric outside diameters available, including 40 mm, 50 mm, 63 mm, 75 mm and 90 mm, plus additional larger and smaller options.
- PN10 pressure rating (10 bar) suitable for a wide range of potable water and general pressure applications.
- Multiple wall thickness options, such as 1.9 mm, 2.4 mm, 3.0 mm, 3.6 mm and 4.3 mm, to tailor strength and flow requirements.
- Supplied in convenient 2500 mm and 5000 mm straight lengths to suit compact runs or longer continuous lines.
- Manufactured from rigid, unplasticised PVC (PVCu) for excellent rigidity and dimensional stability.
- Durable grey finish that is easy to identify in plant rooms and blends well with other industrial services.
- Compatible with standard metric PVCu pressure fittings for straightforward jointing and system expansion.
Key Features and Benefits
- Lightweight construction simplifies handling, cutting and installation, reducing labour time on site.
- Outstanding corrosion and chemical resistance compared with metal pipework, helping to extend system life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this PVCu pressure pipe suitable for drinking water?
The pipe is manufactured from PVCu commonly used for potable water applications and is suitable for drinking water when part of a correctly specified system and installed to relevant regulations and standards. Always check local water authority requirements and ensure compatible fittings and jointing methods are used.
How do I choose the correct diameter and wall thickness for my system?
Select the outside diameter based on the required flow rate and connection sizes, then choose a wall thickness that meets the design pressure (up to 10 bar for this range) and temperature conditions. It is good practice to consult your system design data or a qualified engineer to confirm the appropriate size and pressure rating.
Can the pipe be cut and joined on site?
Yes, the pipe can be cut to length on site using suitable pipe cutters or a fine-toothed saw, ensuring the ends are square and deburred. Joints are typically made using compatible metric PVCu pressure fittings and solvent cement, following the adhesive manufacturer’s instructions and allowing full cure time before pressurising the system.
