Atlas UPVC Pipe 3" × 6m x 3.2mm BS4514 - Per Pcs

The Atlas pipe measures 3 inches in diameter, has a length of 6 meters, and a wall thickness of 3.2 mm, ensuring it can withstand high pressure and is suitable for various drainage applications.

This pipe complies with British Standards, specifically BS EN 1329-1:2000 for above-ground applications and BS EN 1401-1:2009 for below-ground applications, superseding earlier standards including BS 451418.

The pipe has a specific gravity of 1.41, a tensile strength greater than 45 MN/sq cm at 20°C, and a Vicat softening temperature of at least 79°C. These properties contribute to its reliability and effectiveness in drainage systems.

Yes, the Atlas UPVC pipe is resistant to various acids, alkalis, salts, and water-miscible solvents. However, it is not resistant to aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons.

The pipe can withstand internal pressure without failure during testing at 10 MPa for up to 1000 hours at 60°C, making it suitable for high-pressure applications.

Installation requires ensuring that all burrs are removed from the pipe ends, applying lubricant on the chamfered end, and using solvent cement or rubber ring joints as specified for effective sealing and thermal expansion accommodation.

Yes, the pipe is WRAS approved, indicating it meets safety standards for use in water supply systems, making it suitable for both drainage and potable water applications.
