Description
This premium PVC ventilation pipe provides a robust, corrosion-resistant solution for air handling in industrial, commercial and light process environments. Manufactured from high-quality PVC, it is designed for reliable performance in ducted ventilation systems where resistance to moisture, chemicals and general wear is essential.
Suitable for new installations and system upgrades alike, this pipe can be used for extract, supply and general air movement in factories, warehouses, workshops, laboratories and plant rooms. With a wide range of diameters, wall thicknesses and lengths available, it offers excellent flexibility for designing or adapting ventilation runs to suit your specific site layout and airflow requirements.
Product Features
- Available outside diameters from 75 mm, 90 mm, 110 mm, 125 mm and 160 mm, plus a further range of larger and intermediate sizes for system design flexibility.
- Multiple wall thickness options including 1.8 mm, 2.2 mm, 2.5 mm, 2.9 mm, 3.2 mm, 3.6 mm, 4 mm and 5 mm to balance strength, pressure rating and weight.
- Standard pipe lengths of 5000 mm and 6000 mm to reduce the number of joints in long duct runs.
- Manufactured from rigid PVC for excellent chemical resistance and durability in demanding environments.
- Smooth internal bore to support efficient airflow and minimise pressure losses through the system.
- Compatible with a wide range of standard ventilation fittings, couplers and reducers for straightforward installation and connection.
- Suitable for both horizontal and vertical installation in fixed ductwork configurations.
Key Features and Benefits
- High chemical resistance: PVC construction offers strong resistance to many fumes, vapours and cleaning agents, helping to protect the ductwork from corrosion and degradation.
- Durable and impact-resistant: Rigid structure and choice of heavier wall thicknesses provide good mechanical strength in busy industrial and commercial settings.
- Low-maintenance performance: Smooth internal surfaces help reduce dust build-up and make the system easier to clean and maintain over time.
- Flexible system design: Wide range of diameters and wall thicknesses allows engineers to size ductwork accurately for airflow and pressure requirements.
- Efficient installation: Long 5 m and 6 m lengths reduce the number of joints required, saving installation time and lowering the risk of leaks.
- Cost-effective ventilation solution: Lightweight PVC pipe is easier to handle than metal alternatives, helping to reduce transport and installation costs.

Applications and Ideal Uses
This PVC ventilation pipe is suitable for a wide range of air-handling and fume-extraction duties in industrial and commercial environments.
- General supply and extract ventilation in factories, warehouses and workshops.
- Air movement and fume extraction in laboratories, processing areas and light chemical facilities.
- Ventilation ducting for plant rooms, boiler rooms and equipment enclosures.
- Connection of fans, air handling units and filtration equipment to fixed duct runs.
- Local exhaust ventilation and point extraction where chemical resistance is required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this PVC ventilation pipe be used for high-pressure air systems?
This pipe is intended for ventilation and low-pressure air movement rather than high-pressure or compressed air systems. For any application involving significant pressure, please check the required pressure rating and select an appropriate pipe specification.
Is the pipe suitable for aggressive chemical fumes?
The PVC material provides good resistance to many common industrial fumes and vapours, but suitability depends on the specific chemicals, concentrations and temperatures involved. It is recommended to check chemical compatibility data for PVC against your process media before installation.
How is the pipe joined to other ductwork and fittings?
The pipe is designed to connect with standard ventilation fittings such as couplers, bends, reducers and branches sized to the same outside diameter. Joints are typically made using suitable PVC connectors and, where required, appropriate sealing methods to ensure an airtight installation.
