Solvent welding is the easiest and most reliable way for joining pipe and fittings for ABS and uPVC pipe systems. But some knowledge / training is necessary to ensure the perfect joint.
epco offers a variety of metric and imperial pvc pipe sizes. Below we've listed our pipe options along with their dimensional data, this includes the pipe outer diameter, pipe inner diameter and pipe wall thickness.
ABS Pipes are renowned for their excellent impact strength, wide operating temperature range from (minus) -40ºc to (plus) +70ºc and its electrical resistance
The introduction of the metric sizing system was to bring the UK into line with the rest of Europe, and whilst accepted in many areas of industry, has had a slower uptake, resulting in both Imperial and Metric remaining readily available in the UK.
Plastic pipe sealants, often referred to as ‘Solvent Cements’ are offered in a range of variants from single to multiple use application. With so many types of PVC pipe sealants on the market we choose to sell three PVC glue variants from one of the top European manufacturers.
Fittings of rigid PVC can be glued to each other and onto pipes of the same material provided the sizes and tolerances are in accordance with the standardisation and tolerances given.
