applications?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pipe is primarily designed for cold and mildly elevated temperature fluids. PVCu has a reduced pressure rating at higher temperatures, so it is generally not recommended for sustained hot water or steam service. Always check the pressure–temperature rating for your operating conditions before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the pipe joined to fittings and valves?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis metric PVCu pressure pipe is typically joined using solvent cement sockets or, where specified, threaded or flanged adapters. Ends are cut square, cleaned and then bonded into compatible PVCu pressure fittings following the solvent cement manufacturer’s instructions and relevant installation standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the pipe suitable for underground installation?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pipe can be used below ground if it is correctly installed with suitable bedding, backfill and protection from point loading or mechanical damage. Local regulations, soil conditions and system design must be taken into account, and care should be taken to avoid direct exposure to heavy vehicular loads without appropriate protection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plastock","offers":[{"title":"16mm \/ 1.2 \/ 2500","offer_id":56199267025276,"sku":"PLT_PLC10190","price":6.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"16mm \/ 1.2 \/ 5000","offer_id":56199267058044,"sku":"PLT_PLC10191","price":13.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"20mm \/ 1.5 \/ 2500","offer_id":56199267090812,"sku":"PLT_PLC10192","price":8.16,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"20mm \/ 1.5 \/ 5000","offer_id":56199267123580,"sku":"PLT_PLC10193","price":16.32,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"25mm \/ 1.9 \/ 2500","offer_id":56199267156348,"sku":"PLT_PLC10194","price":10.02,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"25mm \/ 1.9 \/ 5000","offer_id":56199267189116,"sku":"PLT_PLC10195","price":20.02,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"32mm \/ 2.4 \/ 2500","offer_id":56199267221884,"sku":"PLT_PLC10196","price":14.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"32mm \/ 2.4 \/ 5000","offer_id":56199267254652,"sku":"PLT_PLC10197","price":28.44,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"40mm \/ 3 \/ 2500","offer_id":56199267287420,"sku":"PLT_PLC10198","price":21.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"40mm \/ 3 \/ 5000","offer_id":56199267320188,"sku":"PLT_PLC10199","price":43.08,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"50mm \/ 3.7 \/ 2500","offer_id":56199267352956,"sku":"PLT_PLC10200","price":33.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"50mm \/ 3.7 \/ 5000","offer_id":56199267385724,"sku":"PLT_PLC10201","price":66.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"63mm \/ 4.7 \/ 2500","offer_id":56199267418492,"sku":"PLT_PLC10202","price":44.46,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"63mm \/ 4.7 \/ 5000","offer_id":56199267451260,"sku":"PLT_PLC10203","price":88.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"75mm \/ 5.6 \/ 2500","offer_id":56199267484028,"sku":"PLT_PLC10204","price":63.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"75mm \/ 5.6 \/ 5000","offer_id":56199267516796,"sku":"PLT_PLC10205","price":127.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"90mm \/ 6.7 \/ 2500","offer_id":56199267549564,"sku":"PLT_PLC10206","price":89.74,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"90mm \/ 6.7 \/ 5000","offer_id":56199267582332,"sku":"PLT_PLC10207","price":179.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"110mm \/ 6.6 \/ 2500","offer_id":56199267615100,"sku":"PLT_PLC10208","price":130.26,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"110mm \/ 6.6 \/ 5000","offer_id":56199267647868,"sku":"PLT_PLC10209","price":260.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"160mm \/ 9.5 \/ 2500","offer_id":56199267680636,"sku":"PLT_PLC10210","price":413.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"160mm \/ 9.5 \/ 5000","offer_id":56199267713404,"sku":"PLT_PLC10211","price":827.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0560\/9262\/2987\/files\/3da3d0f021e347273672aa2186b336e0.png?v=1767776097","url":"https:\/\/plasticsco.co.uk\/products\/premium-pvcu-metric-pressure-pipe-pn16","provider":"Plastics Co Uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
