Polypipe SDR11 2550BU 50m Coil MDPE Pipe, 25mm - Blue (SKU: 39552)

Blue MDPE pipe is primarily used for below-ground cold water distribution systems to transport clean drinking (potable) water from the mains supply to homes and businesses under BS EN 12201 standards. The blue colour is a universal identifier for drinking water pipes, making it easy to distinguish from other types of piping.

This form of piping is commonly used to replace worn-down pipes, to provide a water supply to gardens, to run a new water main into the house or to reroute a mains supply. In addition to underground use, the pipe's rigid yet bendable design makes it perfect for frames and fleece tunnels used to support nets over garden raised beds and vegetable patches.

The primary benefit of using blue MDPE over traditional materials, such as copper pipes, is that it won’t corrode, making it ideal for delivering clean (potable) water services. It is also inert, so it has a good level of resistance to a wide range of naturally occurring ground chemicals, and doesn't support the microbiological growth of algae, bacteria, or fungi in normal operating conditions.

It's important to note that blue MDPE pipe is designed for cold water applications only. It is NOT suitable for hot water distribution, as high temperatures can affect the pipe's performance and durability.
