Description
PVC Pressure Pipe Series 1 Lilac RRJ – Reliable Solution for Non-Drinking Water Applications
The PVC Pressure Pipe Series 1 Lilac RRJ (Rubber Ring Joint) is designed for non-potable water systems, including recycled water applications. The distinctive lilac color ensures easy identification and complies with Australian standards for non-drinking water systems. It is manufactured to AS/NZS 1477 standards, ensuring superior performance across high-pressure applications, such as irrigation, agriculture, and industrial projects.
The rubber ring joint (RRJ) provides a secure, leak-proof connection. It also offers flexibility during installation by accommodating slight ground movements and temperature changes. With its durable PVC construction, this pipe performs well over time and works for both above-ground and underground installations.
Available in 6-meter lengths, the Series 1 Lilac RRJ pipe is designed to meet the demands of recycled water systems. It also offers high resistance to chemicals and corrosion, making it a reliable choice for various non-drinking water applications.
Key Features
- Non-Drinking Water Applications: The lilac color clearly indicates that the pipe is for recycled and non-potable uses.
- Rubber Ring Joint (RRJ): Ensures a watertight, leak-proof seal and simplifies installation by eliminating the need for solvent welding.
- Durable PVC Construction: Made from unplasticized PVC (PVC-U), it resists chemicals, corrosion, and environmental damage.
- Pressure Ratings (PN): Available in PN6, PN9, and PN12, it accommodates various pressure needs in non-potable systems.
- 6-Meter Lengths: These standardized lengths allow for efficient transport and installation.
- Lead-Free: Safe for environments where people may come into contact with water systems.
- Easy Identification: The lilac color ensures compliance with Australian standards and avoids confusion with potable water systems.
Applications
Recycled Water Systems
The PVC Pressure Pipe Series 1 Lilac RRJ works perfectly in recycled water systems. It provides a strong and durable solution for pressurized non-drinking water distribution. Its lilac color ensures quick identification and compliance with regulations, which helps prevent accidental use in potable water systems.
Agricultural and Irrigation Systems
This pipe is ideal for agricultural and irrigation projects. It is lightweight, cost-effective, and chemically resistant, which ensures long-term performance. The rubber ring joint makes installation faster, reducing labor time and costs while ensuring secure, long-lasting connections for high-pressure water distribution.
Industrial and Commercial Non-Drinking Water Applications
For industrial and commercial projects, the PVC Pressure Pipe Series 1 Lilac RRJ offers the durability and flexibility necessary to handle demanding environments. The watertight seal, created by the rubber ring joint, ensures reliable performance in both buried and exposed installations.
What is a Rubber Ring Joint (RRJ)?
A rubber ring joint (RRJ) uses a flexible rubber ring housed within the pipe socket. When the spigot end of the pipe is inserted, the ring creates a watertight seal. This eliminates the need for glue or solvent welding. The design also simplifies installation, especially in challenging environments. It allows the system to adjust to minor ground movements or temperature changes while maintaining a secure seal.
Advantages
- Corrosion and Chemical Resistance: The PVC-U material resists both internal and external corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance.
- Efficient Installation: The RRJ design speeds up installation compared to solvent weld joints, cutting down on labor costs.
- Durability: Built to last over 50 years, the pipe requires minimal maintenance, making it a cost-effective option.
- Watertight Seal: The rubber ring joint prevents leaks, reducing the risk of blockages or tree root intrusion in underground systems.
Understanding the Difference Between Series 1 and Series 2 Pipes
PVC pressure pipes come in two types based on their diameters: Series 1 and Series 2. Series 1 pipes have ISO-compatible diameters, suitable for global standards, while Series 2 pipes match ductile iron systems.
The nominal size (DN) and pressure rating (PN) identify the pipes. Pipe color also indicates its application: white for potable water in Series 1, blue for potable water in Series 2, purple for recycled water, cream for pressure sewer systems, and yellow for gas.
These pipes are supplied in straight lengths with spigot and socket ends. They can be joined using either Solvent Cement Jointing (SCJ) or Rubber Ring Jointing (RRJ), depending on the project.
