Finolex ASTM pipes are made from high-grade, lead-free PVC-U compound for transportation and distribution of water in households including potable water, industrial process lines, saltwater lines, swimming pools, hand pumps and down-take lines. They are manufactured per ASTM D 1785 in Schedule 40 and 80 series, in standard lengths of 3 and 6 metres with plain or threaded end options. Pipes may be used for water temperatures up to 45°C, with working pressure reducing as temperature rises.

Key features

• Lead-free compound
• environment and health friendly
• UV stabilised, protection from direct sunlight
• Ideal for potable water transportation
• Heavy pressure rating
• high tensile strength
• Corrosion-free and chemical resistant
• immune to termites, fungus and bacteria
• Self-extinguishing and does not support combustion
• Low thermal conductivity prevents external sweating
• Jointing without laborious threading operation
• Lightweight, easy to handle and transport
• smooth inner surface for greater flow

Applications

• Cold water plumbing applications in buildings
• Piping systems for swimming pools
• Pipes for hand pumps
• Salt water lines
• Water distribution mains
• Vertical risers / down-take lines / ring lines
• Corrosive fluid transportation
• Industrial process lines (based on chemical resistance chart)
• Sugar, paper and distillery lines
• Not suitable for compressed air and gases
