ABS Pipes

ABS Pipes, Valves and Fittings (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a homogenous material with good chemical resistance and high impact strength. Other advantageous features are its suitability for use at low temperatures (-40⁰C) and its ease of jointing. Plimat ABS Plastic Pipe Products are manufactured in mid grey colour.

Individual Products are in accordance with the appropriate British Standards.

• Fittings (inch) EN 1452-3, BS 4346 Part 1
• Fittings (metric) DIN 8063, KIWA 549, ISO 727
• Threaded Fittings BS21, DIN 2999, ISO 7/1
• Threaded Fittings BS21, DIN 2999, ISO 07
• Solvent Cement BS 4346 Part 3

The material meets the requirements Of the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme for potable water.

The chemical resistance properties of ABS are good for most diluted inorganic acids, organic acids, animal fats and oils and salts. It is not resistant to acetic acid, alcohol, organic solvents, petrol and vegetable oil.

ABS Pipes, Valves and ABS Pipe Fittings are suitable for use over a wide temperature range from -40⁰C to 70⁰C.
