PE100 (Excel) Pipe

For water supply and sewage duties

PE100 (Excel) Pipe PE100 (Excel) Pipe Excel® is our brand name for the PE100 pipe we manufacture. Also termed higher performance polyethylene (HPPE) pipe, it differs from PE80 medium density polyethylene (MDPE) pipe in that it demonstrates exceptional resistance to rapid crack propagation (60°C to -30°C) as well as to long term stress cracking.

Our standard single layer Excel® pipe is extruded in the following colours:-

Blue - For potable water supply below the ground
Orange - For gas supply below the ground*
Black - For global water and gas supplies, UK potable water supplies above the ground and industrial (sewerage, mining, and quarry) applications above and below the ground.



*Maximum Gas Pressure Ratings for PE100 are as follows:-
SDR11 - 7.0 bar (Orange)
SDR17.6 - 4.0 bar (Orange)
SDR21 - 2.0 bar (Secura-Line)
