PVC UG Pipe 110mmx 6m

Description

PVC UG Pipe 110mm x 6m” refers to an underground pipe made from PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) with specific dimensions and features. Here’s an overview:

Specifications:

1. Material:
   • PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): A lightweight, durable, and cost-effective thermoplastic material.
   • Resistant to corrosion, chemical damage, and environmental factors, making it ideal for underground use.
2. Dimensions:
   • 110mm: The outer diameter of the pipe, commonly used in drainage and sewer systems.
   • 6m: The length of the pipe, suitable for large-scale installations or long-distance runs.
3. Color:
   • Often orange, brown, or gray to indicate it is suitable for underground applications.
4. Type:
   • UG (Underground): Designed specifically for below-ground use, including drainage and sewer systems.

Features:

1. Durability:
   • Resistant to external pressure and soil movements.
   • Long-lasting in harsh underground conditions.
2. Smooth Inner Surface:
   • Reduces friction for efficient flow of water and waste.
   • Minimizes blockages.
3. Jointing System:
   • Often features push-fit or solvent-weld connections for ease of installation.
   • Rubber seals may be included for watertight joints.
4. Lightweight:
   • Easy to handle, transport, and install compared to traditional materials like metal or concrete.

Applications:

1. Drainage Systems:
   • For carrying rainwater or wastewater from buildings to main drainage systems.
2. Sewer Lines:
   • Used for domestic, commercial, and industrial sewer systems.
3. Ventilation:
   • Can serve as vent pipes in plumbing systems.
4. Irrigation:
   • Suitable for agricultural or landscaping irrigation lines.

Standards and Compliance:

• Complies with local and international standards for underground piping (e.g., ISO, EN).
• Rated for specific pressure and temperature conditions depending on the grade of PVC used.

Advantages:

• Cost-Effective: Affordable compared to metal pipes.
• Corrosion-Resistant: Unlike metal, PVC does not rust or degrade over time.
• Easy Installation: Lightweight and equipped with user-friendly jointing methods.
• Low Maintenance: Requires minimal upkeep once installed.
• Environmentally Friendly: Can be recycled at the end of its lifecycle.

Considerations:

• Temperature Sensitivity: PVC may not perform well under extreme heat.
• UV Protection: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can degrade PVC; ensure it’s buried or covered when used underground.
• Load-Bearing Capacity: For heavy traffic areas, ensure adequate soil cover or use reinforced versions.
