Pressure pipe PN 15 / Sch 40* PVC-U 2" 400-020

PVC-U Pipes – Reliability and Versatility in Installations

Pressure pipes made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC-U) are a proven material for constructing water supply, air conditioning, and industrial installations. They are characterized by high chemical resistance, durability, and ease of installation, making them a popular choice among both professionals and end-users. The offered pipes have a nominal diameter of 2 inches and are manufactured in an inch system, corresponding to the dimensions of steel pipes (IPS).

Characteristics and Application

PVC-U pipes are available in two versions: American (Sch 40 schedule) and European (compliant with PN-EN 1452-2 standard in pressure groups PN15, PN12 and PN9). The Sch 40 version is characterized by a thicker wall, which provides greater resistance to pressure. These pipes are used in cold water installations, air conditioning, and the transport of various chemical compounds. They are particularly well suited for potable water installations. The pipe construction is socketless, and the wall is uniform. The outer diameter of the pipe is 60.32 mm, and the wall thickness is 3.91 mm.

Advantages of Using PVC-U Pipes

By choosing PVC-U pipes, you gain a number of benefits:

• Durability: the material retains its properties for at least 50 years.
• Resistance: to scale and contamination build-up and corrosion.
• Versatility: resistance to several hundred chemical compounds allows for wide application in various industries.
• Safety: physiological and microbiological inertness guarantees no impact on the quality of the transported media.
• Easy Installation: does not require specialized tools or electricity – connections are made using aggressive adhesives (cold welding).
• Comfort: vibration and noise damping properties reduce noise in the installation.
• Lightweight: several times lighter than traditional materials, making transport and installation easier.
• Smooth Flow: smooth inner surface reduces flow resistance, allowing for the use of smaller diameter pipes.
• Thermal Insulation: limits condensation of water vapor on the surface of cold water pipes.
• Fire Safety: the material does not support the combustion process.
• Electrical Insulation: no galvanic or electrochemical corrosion – particularly important in underground installations.
• Aesthetics: rigid construction ensures an aesthetic appearance of the installation.

PVC-U pipes are an economical and effective solution for a wide range of hydraulic and industrial applications, combining reliability with ease of use. By choosing this material, you are investing in the long-term and trouble-free operation of the installation.
