Polypipe 25 metre Roll of 25mm Blue Water Mains Service MDPE Pipe 2525BU

Product Information

and is well-suited to pipeline rehabilitation projects, as well as both open-cut and no-dig installation methods. In the UK 25mm MDPE is the standard size of new water supply pipe for a domestic property, and if less than 40m ofcontinuous below ground water supply pipe is needed, however check with local water authority requirements for your project as certain areas may differ. Unlike previously used materials such as iron or copper, MDPE water main is made from corrosion free material meaning it will not degrade to any great degree with age. Gas pipework, which is coloured yellow, is often laid directly in open trenches in a similar method to blue MDPE above.

A minimum 100mm cover should be placed above the crown of the pipe, with heavy compaction equipment not being used with less than 300mm cover. Blue water supply MDPE should be laid in a trench at a depth of at least 750mm (measured from the pipe crown), but no more than 1350mm, from the finished ground level and at least 350mm away from other utilities (such as gas or electricity). It has a high resistance to chemicals and prevents the build up of bacteria, fungi and algae, meaning its perfect for delivering clean (potable) water. The width of the trench should be the minimum of pipe outside diameter (OD) plus 250mm to allow for the correct compaction of sidefill.Polyblu MDPE Water Service Pipe is available in two pressure variants and a choice of diameters to suit your project. Also suitable for hydroelectricity schemes, geothermal pipework, irrigation, aquaculture, marine outfalls and many other projects.

It is intended for the underground distribution of potable water and is constructed from MDPE material, commonly known as alkathene, to ensure long-lasting use and resistance against corrosion.These companies may track your browsing across multiple devices, and combine your browsing on multiple devices into a single profile that is used to deliver relevant adverts to you on all of those devices. They may use a number of different methods to work out whether multiple devices appear to be used by you, including matching information about your devices, browsing activity and geo-location. Drawcord must be inserted into the ducting and gas marker tape must be laid at a minimum of 75mm above ducting to avoid future interference, and may include tracer wire. The range offers a great choice of connection types and fittings from top quality brands and will suit any requirements for your next project. Water caution marker tapes are commonly used as additional indications, alerting presence of the pipes.

Some water authorities allow MDPE to be laid at a shallower depth, depending on circumstances, but must be insulated; check local water authority guidance. Where water pipe enters or runs underneath a building it must be located within ducting, and it is essential they are sealed with a blanking cap (and usually also with foam pipe insulation).Approved under regulation 31 of the Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations 2000 above ground water distribution only.

A duct is designed to protect the pipe from damage and alert others to the presence of duct in the ground. However, in some circumstances, pre-laid ducting is often installed by the groundworker to allow for MDPE pipe to be installed at a later date. Our Blue MDPE pipes are used for the transportation of above ground and underground clean water supplies MDPE is the ideal solution for new installations, pipeline replacement, and rehabilitation. Your duct system may also need duct access chambers depending on your project, which come in a various sizes to suit. According to 'The Department of the Environment', they recommend that pipes should be buried at least 600mm (two feet) underground.Consult WIS 4-08-01 for details on bed and fill materials; in some instances MDPE may be laid directly onto the trimmed trench bottom where the soil is uniform, fine grained and free from large stones and flints. Featuring a colour-coded PE80 black inner layer and a PE80 light blue outer layer, this MDPE Blue Pipe Coil measures 150mm in length and 25mm in diameter. The light blue indicates this is suitable for below ground potable (drinking) water mains supply distribution, popular for both domestic and commercial properties. Replacement: BS EN 12201 replaced BS 6572 and is the latest standard for plastic pipe systems for water supply. Consult the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999, which require installers and owner/user/occupier to install pipework and use suitable pipework and fittings.
