Flexible PVC-U Pool Pipe PN6

Flexible PVC-U pool pipe PN6 is an engineered thermoplastic solution designed for pressurized water circulation in swimming pool systems, spas, irrigation networks, and industrial water treatment installations. Manufactured from an unplasticised polyvinyl chloride formulation engineered for high flexibility, this pressure pipe provides an optimal balance between mechanical strength and bend radius. It simplifies piping layouts in narrow technical rooms, underground trenches, and congested utility spaces by eliminating the need for excessive elbows and directional fittings.

Rated for a nominal working pressure of 6 bar (PN6) at a reference temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, the pipe features a calibrated metric outer diameter fully compatible with standard PVC-U solvent cement fittings (sockets, elbows, tees, unions) in sizes d50 mm and d63 mm. The wall construction incorporates a rigid PVC reinforcement spiral embedded within a flexible PVC-U matrix, preventing kinking, flattening, and structural collapse under earth backfill loads or moderate vacuum conditions.

The perfectly smooth internal bore optimizes hydraulic efficiency, minimizing friction losses over long pipe runs and preventing the accumulation of limescale or biofilm deposits. The PVC-U compound provides superior chemical resistance against pool water treated with chlorine, salt chlorination systems, ozone, and common sanitizing agents. The outer formulation includes UV stabilizers that protect the pipe against photodegradation during site storage or installation in partially exposed environments.

For reliable jointing, pipe ends should be deburred, prepared with suitable solvent cleaner, and bonded using high-grade adhesive formulated for rigid and flexible PVC-U connections.
