PVC-O Oriented Pressure Pipes
Biaxially oriented molecular structure PVC pipes. Delivering double the hoop strength, extreme crack resistance, and metal-like stress durability.
What is PVC-O Oriented Pressure Pipes?
PVC-O (Oriented PVC) represents a revolutionary leap in plastic pipeline technology. By stretching the PVC molecular structure biaxially (both circumferentially and axially), it aligns the polymer chains into a dense layered configuration.
This molecular restructuring doubles the pipe’s tensile strength and impact resistance, allowing it to easily withstand high working pressures without the massive wall thickness of traditional plastic pipes.
Available Pressures
1.0, 1.25, 1.6, 2.0, 2.5 MPa
Biaxial Orientation
Aligned molecular chains (Hoop & Axial)
Impact Resistance
100% deformation deflection without cracking
Cold Performance
Maintains high toughness down to -40°C
Benefits and Features
100% Impact Deflection
Biaxial orientation allows the pipe to compress flat under temporary impact loads and spring back without structural cracks.
Anti-Fatigue Design
Layered wall structures completely isolate gaps, halting rapid crack propagation (RCP) and ensuring a 100-year life loop.
Extreme Cold Resistance
Retains structural ductility down to -40°C. Safe for winter installations in freezing climates (down to -25°C).

Installation Instructions
Jointing & Laying Guidelines
- Ensure the push-fit socket and gasket seal are completely clean of debris.
- Lube the spigot end using approved lubricant before entry.
- Align pipes linearly and slide together by hand or lever to the depth mark.
- Standard trench bedding according to ASTM D2321 applies.
