mPVC pressure pipes
Modified PVC pipe that is tougher and lighter than uPVC for the same pressure, so long water mains in Zambia cost less to buy and lay.

- Pressure classes
- 6, 9, 12, 16 and 20 bar
- Working pressure

About this pipe
Our M-PVC pressure pipe is made to SANS 966 Part 2 with a design stress of 18 MPa. Modified PVC resists impact and crack growth far better than standard PVC-U.
Thinner walls for the same pressure class mean lighter pipes, more metres per truck and quicker installation.
Why specify it
- High impact and crack resistance
- Lighter than uPVC of the same class
- Spigot and socket with locked-in rubber ring
- Same outside diameter across classes
- Will not corrode or scale
