Match the outer diameter (OD) to your existing fittings or pipe socket. Common residential plumbing typically uses 20mm (≈3/4") or 25mm (≈1") for supply lines, while 32mm (≈1-1/4"), 40mm (≈1-1/2"), and 50mm (≈2") are generally used for waste and drainage runs. Always measure the socket ID of your fitting — the pipe OD should match it closely for a solvent-weld seal.

The 20mm, 25mm, 32mm, and 40mm OD tubes have a 2mm wall thickness. The 50mm OD tube has a 2.4mm wall thickness. These dimensions are consistent with standard Schedule 40-equivalent PVC tubing used in light-duty plumbing and irrigation applications.

PVC is generally resistant to moisture and many chemicals, making it suitable for above-ground outdoor use in sheltered conditions. However, prolonged UV exposure can cause surface degradation over time. For underground burial, PVC is typically acceptable for drainage and conduit applications, but we recommend confirming local building codes and pressure ratings before installation in pressurized systems.

This pipe is designed for solvent-weld (glue-joint) connections using standard PVC solvent cement. It is generally compatible with metric PVC fittings — elbows, tees, couplings, and reducers — that match the corresponding OD. Always verify the fitting's socket inner diameter matches the pipe OD you select. Threaded or push-fit fittings require an adapter.

The pressure rating of PVC pipe depends on wall thickness, OD, and temperature. At room temperature, standard 2mm-wall PVC tubing in these sizes is typically rated for low-to-moderate pressure (generally up to 6–10 bar depending on size), making it suitable for gravity-fed drainage, irrigation, and non-pressurized plumbing runs. For high-pressure applications, confirm the specific pressure rating with us before ordering.

Yes. PVC pipe cuts cleanly with a fine-tooth hacksaw, pipe cutter, or miter saw. Deburr the cut end with sandpaper or a deburring tool before applying solvent cement to ensure a leak-free joint. The 500mm (≈19.7") length gives you flexibility to cut multiple shorter sections from a single piece.

Orange is a common color coding used in plumbing and electrical conduit applications to indicate specific pipe types or pressure classes depending on regional standards. In many markets, orange PVC is associated with electrical conduit or certain drainage systems. Verify your local color-coding standards to confirm suitability for your intended application.

Each piece is 500mm (≈19.7") long. Estimate your total run length, add 10–15% for cuts and waste, then divide by 500mm to get the number of pieces needed. Ordering 2–4 pcs at once typically reduces per-unit cost and ensures you have spares for future repairs.
