PE80 Solid Wall Pipes for Gas Networks

PE80 Solid Wall Pipes are high-quality high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pressure pipes designed for natural gas and gaseous fuel distribution networks. Manufactured from PE80 (MRS 8 MPa), the pipes feature smooth internal and external surfaces, providing excellent flow performance, long-term durability and reliable gas-tight operation.

Available in black with co-extruded yellow identification stripes or fully yellow, the pipes are manufactured in outside diameters ranging from 20 mm to 800 mm. They are supplied in both coils and straight lengths, providing flexibility for a wide range of gas distribution projects.

Description

Features & Benefits

  • Designed for Gas Distribution
    Engineered specifically for underground gas transmission and distribution networks, delivering safe and dependable long-term performance.
  • Permanent Gas Tightness
    Provides a 100% gas-tight pipeline system when installed using approved polyethylene jointing methods, helping to minimise leakage risks.
  • Excellent Flexibility
    Good bending characteristics allow easier installation around obstacles while reducing the number of fittings and joints required.
  • Ideal for Cold Climate Installation
    Retains flexibility at lower temperatures, making manual installation easier in colder environments.
  • Wide Range of Sizes
    Available in outside diameters from 20 mm to 800 mm, offering solutions for service connections through to large distribution mains.
  • Supplied in Coils and Straight Lengths
    Coil options reduce the number of joints, while straight lengths are suitable for larger diameter installations.
  • Low Elastic Modulus
    The inherent flexibility of PE80 enables the pipeline to accommodate ground movement and settlement without compromising performance.
  • Excellent Performance in Unstable Ground
    Plastic deformation characteristics help maintain pipeline integrity in areas subject to soil movement.
  • Extensive Fittings Range
    Compatible with a comprehensive range of standard PE fittings, allowing versatile and reliable system design.
  • Electrically Non-Conductive
    Inert to stray electrical currents, eliminating corrosion issues associated with metallic pipe systems.
  • Outstanding Chemical Resistance
    Resistant to a broad range of chemicals in accordance with ISO/TR 10358, ensuring long-term underground durability.
  • High Impact Resistance
    Excellent shock absorption protects the pipeline during transportation, installation and operation.
  • Long Service Life
    Designed to provide decades of reliable performance with minimal maintenance when correctly installed.
  • Fully Recyclable
    Manufactured from recyclable PE80, supporting sustainable infrastructure and environmentally responsible construction.
