PIPELIFE PE100 Pressure Pipe 50mm x 3.7mm PN12.5, 100m Coil

The Pipelife PE100 pressure pipe is a high-performance solution engineered for demanding water supply and fluid transport systems. Constructed from high-density polyethylene, this pipe provides exceptional durability and long-term reliability in various infrastructure applications. With an outer diameter of 50 mm and a wall thickness of 3.7 mm, it is designed to withstand significant operational stress while maintaining structural integrity. The black finish ensures protection against UV radiation, making it suitable for both underground and surface installations.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this PE100 pipe is its superior resistance to chemical corrosion and environmental stress cracking, which ensures a long service life even in challenging soil conditions. Its inherent flexibility allows for easier handling and installation, particularly in long runs where fewer joints are required. The smooth internal surface minimizes friction losses, promoting efficient fluid flow throughout the system. Furthermore, the lightweight nature of the polyethylene material simplifies transport and on-site logistics, reducing overall project labor requirements.

Suitable for

• Potable water supply networks
• Agricultural irrigation systems
• Industrial fluid transport
• Pressure-based drainage systems

When it may not be suitable

This pipe is not intended for high-temperature applications, as polyethylene materials have specific thermal limitations. It should not be used for transporting aggressive chemicals or solvents that are incompatible with PE100 material. Additionally, it is not designed for applications requiring extreme mechanical impact resistance beyond standard underground burial requirements.

Key specifications

• Material: PE100 Polyethylene
• Outer diameter: 50 mm
• Wall thickness: 3.7 mm
• Pressure rating: 12.5 Bar
• Coil length: 100 m
• Color: Black

How to use

Installation should be performed by qualified professionals using appropriate fusion welding techniques or mechanical compression fittings designed for 50 mm polyethylene pipes. Ensure the trench is properly prepared with a stable, debris-free bedding to prevent point loading on the pipe wall. When uncoiling the pipe, take care to avoid kinking or excessive bending that could compromise the material. Once positioned, verify that all connections are secure and pressure-tested according to local building codes before backfilling.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required pressure rating for your specific system design.
• Ensure compatibility with existing fittings and connection methods.
• Check local regulations regarding the use of PE100 pipes for drinking water.
• Assess the site accessibility for handling a 100-meter coil.

Usage recommendations

Always store the pipe coils in a shaded area if they are not being installed immediately to prevent prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Ensure that the pipe is protected from sharp objects during installation to maintain the integrity of the outer surface.
