Ricom RURA PROSTA PP L500 DN80 UV — polypropylene straight pipe, length 500 mm, nominal diameter DN80

Ricom RURA PROSTA PP L500 DN80 UV is a straight polypropylene (PP) pipe, 500 mm long with a nominal diameter of DN80. Manufactured from UV-stabilized PP material, this pipe is designed for drainage and plumbing systems requiring chemical resistance, low weight and corrosion-free performance. It is intended for indoor and protected outdoor installations and can be used in sewer, waste and vent lines where reliable PP piping is appropriate.

Advantages

The UV-stabilized polypropylene construction provides resistance to many chemicals and reduces degradation when exposed to indirect sunlight in protected outdoor areas. The pipe’s smooth internal surface minimizes sediment build-up and supports stable flow characteristics. Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, the pipe is easy to handle and install while offering long service life in compatible environments. Its standard DN80 nominal diameter ensures compatibility with common drainage fittings and connections.

Suitable for

• Residential and commercial drainage systems
• Sewage and waste lines in indoor and protected outdoor settings
• Ventilation stacks and waste vent lines
• Plumbing installations requiring chemical-resistant piping

Key specifications

How to use

Measure and cut existing piping to accommodate the 500 mm length of the Ricom RURA PROSTA PP L500 DN80 UV pipe, ensuring clean, square ends for proper jointing. Use compatible DN80 connectors, sockets or couplings designed for polypropylene systems and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for solvent welding, thermal welding or gasketed connections as applicable. Align the pipe to maintain correct slope for drainage and verify seals or joints to prevent leaks before backfilling or final installation.

Usage recommendations

For best results, store the pipe away from prolonged direct sunlight despite UV stabilization and avoid exposure to temperatures or chemicals outside the rated range for polypropylene. Use compatible fittings and installation methods recommended for PP drainage systems, and inspect joints after installation and during initial operation to confirm leak-free performance.
