Aquafit pressure and non-pressure pipes are manufactured in accordance with IS 4985 from 20 mm to 400 mm in pressure ratings 2.5, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12.5 Kg/cm2. They have a plain socket for solvent cement jointing, are light grey and have a nominal length of 6 m. Main applications are agriculture water supply, drip irrigation and sprinkler lines as well as drinking water distribution; they are also used for cable ducting, ventilation pipe lines and slurry lines.

Key features

• Light weight, easy to transport, store, handle and install
• saves labour
• Smooth bore ensures higher flow than G.I. pipes and fittings of the same size
• no clogging, saves operational cost
• Solvent cement joint for quick installation
• Corrosion resistance: UPVC is rustproof, so bore diameter remains constant for constant flow over a lifetime
• Long working life under normal/recommended working conditions
• Cost effective

Applications

• Water supply and distribution schemes in agriculture
• Drinking water supply and distribution
• Irrigation, drip irrigation and sprinkler lines
• Cable ducting
• Ventilation pipe line
• Slurry lines
