MDPE PIPES
MDPE Pipes
We stock MDPE in both blue and black. Blue is for potable (drinking) water and black (pumping main) is primarilly for non-potable water i.e. seawater, pumped foul & grey water etc. Large coils maybe subject to extended lead-times.
Blue MDPE is used for water service connections between the distribution mains to individual properties and for above ground services if the pipes are installed within protective ducts.It should not be used for the conveyance of gases, oil, petrol, diesel or compressed air. The system is suitable for use with cold water (maximum temperature 20C) with a working pressure of up to 12.5 bar.
We also offer a Barrier MDPE and fittings system. Barrier Pipe is also known as Trigon, Protecta-Line and Polyguard to name but a few. It is Polyethylene pressure pipe with an aluminium barrier layer for potable water in contaminated land, otherwise known as brownfield sites.It complies with BS6920 water quality testing and approved under regulation 31 of the water supply(water quality) Regulations 2000.
