Supplied as a full 100-metre coil, this 20 mm outer-diameter PE40 low-density polyethylene pipe carries a 4 bar working pressure rating with a 1.5 mm wall thickness, making it a practical choice for pool surroundings pipework, irrigation headers, and equipment-to-equipment connections on pool plant rooms. The black colouration provides inherent UV stabilisation for exposed outdoor runs, while keeping the coil neat and manageable on site.<\/p>\n
PE40 is a low-density polyethylene grade characterised by a softer, more flexible structure compared with higher-density PE grades. This flexibility allows the pipe to follow gentle curves around plant-room obstacles without the need for additional elbow fittings, and it withstands ground movement or vibration without cracking. The smooth internal bore minimises friction loss across long distribution runs.<\/p>\n
The plain (cut) ends accept standard compression fittings, barbed push-fit connectors, and barbed irrigation fittings across the full 20 mm outside diameter, giving installers the freedom to use the jointing method that best suits the application. No special tooling is required; a pipe cutter and standard compression nuts are sufficient for a watertight joint in the field.<\/p>\n
The black PE40 compound resists UV degradation and is chemically inert to the dilute chlorine solutions, pH-correction acids, and algaecides commonly found in pool plant environments. The maximum service temperature of 35 \u00b0C suits all standard pool-circulation and chemical-dosing lines, though it is not intended for heat-pump condenser or solar-heating circuits operating above that threshold.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
