Match the pipe's outer diameter (OD) to your fitting's socket size. This listing offers 20mm (≈3/4"), 25mm (≈1"), 32mm (≈1-1/4"), 40mm (≈1-1/2"), and 50mm (≈2") OD options, all cut to 500mm (≈19.7") lengths. For longer runs, order multiple pieces and solvent-weld them end-to-end with a coupling.

Rigid PVC pipe of this type generally carries pressure ratings in the range of 100–315 PSI depending on wall schedule and diameter. Smaller diameters typically support higher pressure. Please confirm the exact rating with the variant specifications or contact us before use in high-pressure systems.

PVC pipe is generally resistant to moisture and soil corrosion, making it suitable for underground and outdoor use in most climates. However, prolonged UV exposure above ground can cause surface degradation over time. For exposed outdoor runs, consider UV-protective paint or conduit wrap.

In US plumbing and irrigation standards, purple pipe is commonly used to identify reclaimed, recycled, or non-potable water lines. This color coding helps prevent cross-connection with potable water systems. Always verify local codes before installation.

These pipes use standard solvent weld (push-fit with PVC cement) connections. They are generally compatible with Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 PVC fittings of the matching nominal size. Always verify the fitting's socket depth and OD tolerance before cementing.

Use a PVC solvent cement kit (primer + cement) with a matching coupler fitting. Clean and dry both surfaces, apply primer, then cement, and push together with a quarter-turn. Hold for 30 seconds. Full cure typically takes 24 hours before pressurizing the line.

Purple-coded PVC pipe is specifically designated for non-potable or reclaimed water use in most US jurisdictions. It should not be used for drinking water lines. For potable water applications, use white or gray NSF-61 certified PVC pipe instead.
