Question 1

What exactly is the Atlas 75mm x 6m Class 16 PVC Pipe and what can I use it for?

Accepted Answer

The Atlas 75mm x 6m PVC Pipe is a rigid, corrosion-resistant tube made from PVC, measuring 75 millimetres in diameter and 6 metres in length. It is Class 16 rated for high-pressure use and WRAS approved for potable water, making it suitable for water distribution, irrigation, and industrial plumbing where a durable, high-pressure pipe is needed.

Question 2

What does Class 16 mean for this pipe's performance?

Accepted Answer

Class 16 indicates a high-pressure rating, designed to tolerate elevated pressures (commonly around 16 bar in many systems). This makes the pipe appropriate for pumped water applications and other high-pressure scenarios when paired with compatible fittings and connectors.

Question 3

Is this pipe safe for drinking water?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The pipe is WRAS approved, which means it meets UK standards for potable water and is considered safe for use with drinking water when installed correctly.

Question 4

What are the key specifications I should note about this pipe?

Accepted Answer

Key specs: 75 mm diameter, 6 m length, PVC material, Class 16 high-pressure rating, WRAS approved for potable water, and designed for corrosion and wear resistance in water and liquid distribution systems.

Question 5

How does the 75mm version compare to the 90mm x 6m Class 16 PVC Pipe on Fepy?

Accepted Answer

Both share the Class 16 high-pressure rating and WRAS approval, but the 90mm version has a larger inner diameter, which increases potential flow rate and may require different fittings and space considerations. The 75mm pipe is typically used where space is tighter or where a 75mm service line is specified.

Question 6

How does the 75mm version compare to the 110mm x 6m Class 16 PVC Pipe on Fepy?

Accepted Answer

The 110mm version has an even larger diameter, offering higher flow capacity but requires more space and larger fittings. It is ideal for higher-demand mains or distribution lines.

Question 7

How should I install or connect this PVC pipe?

Accepted Answer

General installation steps: plan the route, cut the pipe square with a sharp saw, deburr the edges, dry-fit to check alignment, apply appropriate PVC solvent cement or socket fittings compatible with Class 16 PVC, and connect using suitable pipe fittings and clamps. Ensure proper support every few metres and maintain a clean, dry work area during assembly.

Question 8

Are there safety tips or handling guidelines I should follow?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Wear protective gloves and eye protection when cutting or handling, avoid sharp edges, store pipes upright and out of direct sunlight to prevent warping, keep the pipe clean to avoid contamination of potable water, and ensure all connections are sealed and compatible with Class 16 ratings to prevent leaks.

Question 9

What is the return policy if this pipe doesn’t meet my needs?

Accepted Answer

If you need to return this item, check Fepy’s return terms for eligible products. Typically, returns are accepted for items in unused condition with original packaging within a specified window, with a process that may include a return authorization and, in some cases, a restocking fee or return shipping responsibility. Always ensure the product is unused and undamaged to qualify.

Question 10

Can I use this pipe for hot water or high-temperature applications?

Accepted Answer

PVC pipes have temperature limits and are generally not suitable for hot water applications. For hot water or elevated temperatures, consider CPVC or alternative materials rated for higher temperatures. Always verify the maximum service temperature for the specific PVC grade before use.

Question 11

How do I verify WRAS approval when purchasing this pipe?

Accepted Answer

Look for the WRAS approval indicator in the product specifications or packaging. The WRAS logo or a WRAS approval number confirms compliance with potable water safety standards, and the product page should list this certification alongside the pipe’s specifications.
