Metric PVC Pipe x 2m (PN10)

Our Metric PVC-U Pressure Pipe – 2 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 2 metre (2000mm) lengths. These shorter lengths are ideal for repairs, modifications, smaller installations and projects where transporting or handling full-length pipe is impractical.

With a nominal pressure rating of PN10 (10 bar at 20°C), this metric PVC pressure pipe is suitable for use with compatible metric PVC solvent weld fittings. Its smooth internal bore helps minimise friction losses, while the rigid PVC-U construction provides resistance to corrosion and a wide range of compatible liquids.

Metric PVC PN10 Pipe – Size & Dimensions Guide

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

The table below shows common metric PVC pipe sizes, their outside diameters and the PN10 pressure classification. Actual inside diameters and wall thicknesses depend on the manufacturer's specification.

Note: Pipe dimensions are nominal and subject to manufacturing tolerances. Confirm the sizes available for this product before ordering.

Why Choose 2 Metre PVC Pipe Lengths?

Our 2m metric PVC pressure pipe offers a practical alternative to longer pipe lengths, especially for installations where handling, storage or transport space is limited.

• Convenient 2 metre lengths for easier transportation and handling
• Ideal for smaller installations, repairs and alterations
• Suitable for projects where full-length pipe is unnecessary
• Can be cut to the required length using suitable pipe-cutting tools
• Compatible with matching metric PVC pressure fittings

How to Measure Metric PVC Pipe

Metric PVC pressure pipe is measured by its outside diameter (OD), not its internal bore. For example, a 63mm metric PVC pipe measures approximately 63mm across the outside.

To identify the correct pipe size, measure the outside diameter using vernier callipers and compare the measurement with the table above.

Important: Metric and imperial PVC pressure pipes are not directly interchangeable. For example, 63mm metric PVC pipe has a 63mm outside diameter, whereas 2" imperial PVC pressure pipe measures approximately 60.3mm outside diameter. A suitable transition fitting is required to connect the two systems.

Typical Applications

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

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.
