MDPE Pipes and Fittings
MDPE
(Medium Denstity Polyethylene) is essentially a type of tough wearing plastic.
Commonly these days, water pipes, gas pipes and fittings for both are made
from MDPE - you may have seen the light blue material at road works or
on building
sites, though it does come in a variety of colours. In terms of water pipes
and fittings, it comes in a wider range of shapes and sizes compared to
traditional materials such as iron and copper and unlike its rivals it
does not rust or decompose. This makes MDPE an attractive and workable
alternative for underground piping and plumbing. Other benefits to MDPE
include its resistance to shock (and subsequent fractures) and better performance
in freezing weather conditions.
MDPE piping and pipe fittings are available from us in sizes of 20mm through to 63mm. We stock roll lengths of 25 metres to 150 metres. 63mm piping in 50 metre rolls are stocked, larger coils are to order if required.
We stock Plasson pipe fittings to fit MDPE water pipes and the older style,
imperial sized alkathene (black) piping. Adapters to interconnect both
types and onto other pipe work including copper and iron are available.
We stock a vast collection of MDPE adapters & connectors and any we do not have in are available to order. If you have some idea of what you want, then drop us a line with your requirements.
