Metric PE100 poly pressure pipe in 20mm to 110mm sizes, available in selected 50m to 200m coils and 6m straight lengths. The range includes PN10, PN12.5 and PN16 pressure classes for irrigation, domestic and rural water supply, civil water transfer and general pressure applications.
Blue Line coil products are drinking water safe and identified by a blue stripe for potable-water service. Selected 6m straight lengths are supplied in either Blue Line or plain black pipe, depending on size. Confirm potable-water certification and project identification requirements before using plain black pipe for drinking-water supply.
PN10 pipe has a nominal pressure rating of 1000kPa, or 10 bar, at 20°C. PN12.5 pipe has a nominal pressure rating of 1250 kPa, or 12.5 bar, at 20°C. PN16 pipe has a nominal pressure rating of 1600 kPa, or 16 bar, at 20°C. The allowable operating pressure reduces when used continuously at higher temperatures.
The range includes SDR17, SDR13.6 and SDR11 pipe, with nominal wall thicknesses from approximately 1.8mm to 10.6mm depending on pipe size and pressure class. The SDR rating describes the ratio between the pipe’s outside diameter and wall thickness. For pipes of the same diameter, a lower SDR number indicates a thicker wall.
PE100 is a high-strength polyethylene grade used for pressure pipe. It is tough and resistant to rust, rot, corrosion and internal scale build-up, while its smooth internal bore supports efficient water flow.
Manufactured to AS/NZS 4130, the pipe is commonly joined using matching metric compression fittings. Compatible electrofusion fittings can also be used where a welded connection is preferred.

Metric pipe size identifies the nominal outside diameter. Internal diameters and wall thicknesses are approximate mean values and may vary within manufacturing tolerances.
For the same nominal size, a higher PN rating uses a thicker wall and has a smaller internal diameter. PN is the nominal pressure rating in bar at 20°C; temperature derating applies above 20°C.
