HydroSure HDPE Sprinkler Pipe PE80 - Black - 20mm x 100m - 10 Bar

PE80 refers to the material classification of the High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipe, indicating its stress-crack resistance and pressure rating capabilities according to international standards.

This pipe is designed for water transfer in irrigation and supply networks. Always check specific product certifications for potable water applications if that is your intended use.

This specific pipe is rated for 10 Bar (approximately 145 PSI), which is suitable for most standard garden irrigation and domestic water supply applications.

Yes, you will need tools for cutting the pipe cleanly and, importantly, a chamfering tool to prepare the pipe end before inserting it into fittings. Compatible fittings for 20mm HDPE pipe are also required.

The burial depth depends on local regulations, frost lines, and expected ground loads. Typically, for garden irrigation, depths of 20-30 cm (8-12 inches) are common, but always consult local guidelines.

While HDPE pipe has some flexibility, attempting to bend it sharply by hand can create a significant risk of kinking or weakening the pipe. For controlled bends, use appropriate bending tools or install fittings to change direction. Avoid sharp, unsupported bends.

Ensure the pipe end is properly chamfered. Re-cut the pipe end if it's damaged or uneven. Verify you are using a fitting designed for 20mm HDPE pipe.

Check if the pipe end was adequately inserted into the fitting. Ensure the fitting's sealing mechanism is correctly seated. If using compression fittings, ensure the compression ring is properly tightened according to manufacturer instructions. Re-chamfer the pipe if necessary.

Check for kinks in the pipe run, especially around bends. Ensure no foreign debris is obstructing the pipe. Verify that the pressure at the source is adequate and that valves are fully open.

Inspect the area for signs of excessive ground pressure or damage during installation. Ensure the pipe was properly bedded and backfilled. If significant damage is found, the affected section may need replacement.
