Metric PVC Pipe x 1m (PN10)

Our Metric PVC-U Pressure Pipe – 1 Metre Lengths (PN10) provides a durable, lightweight and corrosion-resistant solution for pressurised water distribution, irrigation systems, industrial pipework and general fluid transfer applications.

Manufactured from rigid unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (PVC-U), this grey metric pressure pipe is supplied in convenient 1 metre (1000mm) lengths, making it ideal for smaller installations, repairs, modifications and projects where full-length pipe is not required.

With a nominal pressure rating of PN10 (10 bar at 20°C), this metric PVC pipe is designed for use with compatible metric PVC solvent weld fittings. The smooth internal bore helps maintain efficient flow, while the rigid PVC-U construction provides excellent resistance to corrosion and a wide range of compatible fluids.

Metric PVC PN10 Pipe – Size & Dimensions Guide

Metric PVC pressure pipe is sized by its outside diameter (OD), measured in millimetres. Unlike imperial pipe, the nominal metric size corresponds directly to the pipe's outside diameter.

The table below shows common metric PVC pipe sizes and their outside diameters. The inside diameter and wall thickness depend on the pipe's pressure rating and manufacturing specification.

Note: Metric pipe sizes refer to nominal outside diameters. Actual measurements are subject to manufacturing tolerances. Confirm available sizes and specifications before ordering.

Why Choose 1 Metre PVC Pipe Lengths?

Our 1m metric PVC pressure pipe offers a convenient alternative to full-length pipe sections, particularly for smaller projects, repairs and installations where space or transportation is limited.

• Convenient 1 metre lengths for easier handling and transportation
• Ideal for small installations, repairs and modifications
• Reduces the need to purchase longer pipe lengths for small jobs
• Easy to cut and adapt to individual installation requirements
• Compatible with metric PVC solvent weld fittings of the same nominal size

How to Measure Metric PVC Pipe

Metric PVC pressure pipe is measured using the outside diameter (OD) of the pipe. For example, 63mm metric PVC pipe has an outside diameter of approximately 63mm.

To identify the correct pipe size, measure across the outside of the pipe using vernier callipers and compare the measurement against the table above.

Important: Metric and imperial PVC pipes have different outside diameters and are not directly interchangeable. For example, 63mm metric PVC pipe measures 63mm OD, while 2" imperial PVC pressure pipe measures approximately 60.3mm OD.

Typical Applications

• Agricultural irrigation and water distribution systems
• Industrial water supply and fluid transfer
• Pumping systems and pump discharge pipework
• Water treatment and filtration installations
• Swimming pool and aquatic pipework, where suitable
• Commercial and industrial process pipework
• Repairs, extensions and modifications to existing PVC systems

Installation & Important Information

Metric PVC-U pressure pipe should be installed using compatible metric PVC pressure fittings and suitable PVC solvent cement. Ensure all pipe ends are clean, correctly prepared and fully inserted into the fittings.

PN10 pressure ratings are based on specified reference conditions, typically 20°C. Allowable working pressure decreases as operating temperature increases. Always follow the manufacturer's installation guidelines.

Important: Do not solvent weld metric PVC pipe directly into imperial PVC fittings. Use a suitable metric-to-imperial adaptor where a transition between systems is required.
