Atlas 160mm x 4.7mm x 5.8m PVC Pipe - Per Pcs

Key specs: material – PVC; diameter – 160 mm; wall thickness – 4.7 mm; length – 5.8 m; interior surface – smooth for reduced friction; UV-resistant; chemical resistant; lightweight and easy to handle.

This pipe uses standard PVC fittings and solvent-weld connections. Use primer and solvent cement for a secure, leak-free join, or opt for mechanical fittings where specified by the installation design.

Installation steps: measure and mark the required length, cut the pipe to size with a PVC cutter or fine-toothed saw, deburr the cut edge, dry-fit to ensure proper alignment, apply PVC primer and cement to the joint, insert and hold until set, and finally support the pipe with appropriate hangers or clamps at regular intervals. Test joints for leaks after assembly.

Yes. The pipe is UV-resistant, which helps maintain structural integrity when exposed to sunlight. For long-term outdoor use, ensure it is properly supported and protected from extreme heat or physical damage.

The pipe is designed to resist a wide range of chemicals, making it suitable for industrial-style applications where exposure to harsh substances is possible. Always verify compatibility with the specific chemicals in your project.

For drinking-water use, ensure you select a potable-grade PVC pipe certified for potable use according to local codes. If you need potable-grade piping, look for products explicitly rated for potable water.

Ideal uses include residential and commercial drainage, wastewater lines, and general plumbing runs where a large-diameter PVC pipe is advantageous. Its chemical resistance also makes it suitable for certain industrial or high-moisture environments.

Use a fine-tooth saw or PVC cutter to make clean cuts. Deburr the cut edge to prevent damage to fittings. For non-standard lengths, cut to oversize and trim carefully to fit, then recheck alignment before joining with fittings and solvent cement.

Wear safety gloves and eye protection when cutting or handling PVC. Work in a well-ventilated area when using solvent cement, and follow local building codes for installation practices and support spacing. Store pipes away from direct heat or sharp objects to avoid damage.

PVC pipes like this typically offer long service lives due to corrosion resistance and a smooth interior. To maintain longevity, protect joints with proper solvent-weld or mechanical fittings, minimize UV exposure where possible, and inspect periodically for signs of wear or leaks. Clean the interior if blockages occur and ensure proper drainage alignment.
