PE80 Pipe

For pressurised Gas Supply (and Water or Sewage duties at 63mm and below)

PE80 Pipe PE80 Pipe GPS PE Pipe Systems PE80 Pipe for gas, water and industrial applications has always been manufactured from MDPE rather than HDPE PE80. MDPE has a higher long term stress crack resistance than traditional HDPE PE80.

Our traditional single layer pipe is extruded in the following colours:-

Light Blue - For potable water supply below the ground
Yellow - 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 PE80 are as follows:-
SDR11 - 5.5 bar
SDR13.6 - 4.0 bar
SDR17.6 - 3.0 bar
