In the UK, 25mm MDPE is the standard size of new water supply pipe for domestic properties, however, if less than 40m of continuous below-ground water supply pipe is required, check with local water authority specifications for your project as certain areas may vary. MDPE is short for medium density polyethylene and is for use in below ground applications and cold water services.

Our Blue MDPE pipes are used for the transportation of above ground and underground clean water supplies MDPE is the ideal solution for new installations, pipeline replacement, and rehabilitation. They may use a number of different methods to work out whether multiple devices appear to be used by you, including matching information about your devices, browsing activity and geo-location.Polyblu MDPE Water Service Pipe is available in two pressure variants and a choice of diameters to suit your project. To protect the pipe from potential future interference it is good practice to install a marker tape 300mm above pipe crown, and may include tracer wire to allow for ground-level indentification of the pipeline. Solid wall 25mm blue MDPE (also known as alkathene) pipe coil suitable for below ground potable water mains supply distribution. It has a high resistance to chemicals and prevents the build up of bacteria, fungi and algae, meaning its perfect for delivering clean (potable) water.

Replacement: BS EN 12201 replaced BS 6572 and is the latest standard for plastic pipe systems for water supply. It is intended for the underground distribution of potable water and is constructed from MDPE material, commonly known as alkathene, to ensure long-lasting use and resistance against corrosion. The light blue indicates this is suitable for below ground potable (drinking) water mains supply distribution, popular for both domestic and commercial properties. Consult WIS 4-08-01 for details on bed and fill materials; in some instances MDPE may be laid directly onto the trimmed trench bottom where the soil is uniform, fine grained and free from large stones and flints.

This highly versatile product is suitable for almost any non-potable water application, as well as above ground potable water distribution networks. Follow our advice and guidelines for safe installation depths of both water (blue) and gas (yellow) MDPE. Water caution marker tapes are commonly used as additional indications, alerting presence of the pipes.

If this is your first time installing ducting, we would always recommend attaching a second drawcord to your pipe as this will enable you to easily install replacements at any point in the future, if required. Unlike previously used materials such as iron or copper, MDPE water main is made from corrosion free material meaning it will not degrade to any great degree with age. Approved under regulation 31 of the Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations 2000 above ground water distribution only.It is important if you are fitting new gas works in your property (private ground) that you read guidelines carefully as you are responsible for safely guarding the trench and making sure anyone who has access to the work on the property is not put at risk. These companies may track your browsing across multiple devices, and combine your browsing on multiple devices into a single profile that is used to deliver relevant adverts to you on all of those devices. A duct is designed to protect the pipe from damage and alert others to the presence of duct in the ground. Drawcord must be inserted into the ducting and gas marker tape must be laid at a minimum of 75mm above ducting to avoid future interference, and may include tracer wire.

Blue water supply MDPE should be laid in a trench at a depth of at least 750mm (measured from the pipe crown), but no more than 1350mm, from the finished ground level and at least 350mm away from other utilities (such as gas or electricity). In the UK 25mm MDPE is the standard size of new water supply pipe for a domestic property, and if less than 40m ofcontinuous below ground water supply pipe is needed, however check with local water authority requirements for your project as certain areas may differ. Your duct system may also need duct access chambers depending on your project, which come in a various sizes to suit. Browse the literature library to find all product related literature including technical information, specification documents, datasheets, installation guides and much more.Some water authorities allow MDPE to be laid at a shallower depth, depending on circumstances, but must be insulated; check local water authority guidance.
