FEATURES & BENEFITS OF THE 110MM DRAINAGE SYSTEM

Our 110mm drainage pipe and fittings, which is the most common size for domestic drainage in the UK, is manufactured to BS-EN 1401 and BS 4660.

Using PVC Drainage Pipes

Whilst clay drainage pipes are still occasionally used for new drainage installations, by far the most commonly used material used in the UK is PVC-U. 

PVC-U (usually abbreviated to PVC) is lightweight, long lasting and robust. The walls of a PVC pipe are extremely smooth, promoting a healthy flow of the materials within the pipe. PVC drainage pipes are resistant to high temperatures and most acids and alkalis.

In the UK the most common size of PVC underground drainage pipe for domestic housing is 110mm. This refers to the outside diameter of the pipe. When a number of houses are joined to the same drainage system, 160mm pipe is generally used for the pipe carrying the main flow.
