2. Black MDPE pipes to BS6730 - used for conveyance of potable water above ground or for industrial services above or below ground;
3. Pipe to ISO 161/1, ISO 3607 and DIN 16893.

- LDPE (to BS1972 Class C and Class D) in 1/2” and 3/4” inch sizes.
Performance
The fittings are manufactured from tough plastic material well able to meet the stringent requirements of the water industry. They have been approved by the WRAS and, as such, have passed the ‘pull out test’ where a force shown below is applied to a connection between MDPE pipes and a fitting for 5 minutes without the connection failing.
