Acu-Gas Yellow Stripe Poly PE100 HDPE Pipe Lengths
 
Acu-Gas HDPE pipe stands out as the preferred system for underground natural and LP gas mains, as well as distribution pipelines.
 
Pipe Size:
40mm-500mm
 
Pressure Rating : 
PN16 - SDR11
 
Key Features & Benefits
Approved for below ground installations under AS 5601-2004: Gas Installations
Full yellow coating for clear identification
Electrofusion or butt fusion jointing method creates a completely homogeneous joint which is stronger than the pipe itself.
Integrity and durability proven in the field by utilities Australia wide.
Flexibility of pipe allows cold bending to accommodate minor changes in direction, and also accommodates ground movement.
Manufactured to AS/NZS 4130 “Polyethylene – PE – pipes for pressure applications” and AS/NZS 4129 “Fittings for polyethylene (PE) pipes for pressure applications”
Acu-Gas is available in 20, 40, 63, 110, 160 and 225 mm diameters as standard stock items. Larger sizes made to order.
Coils of up to 100 metres are available in 20, 40, 63 and 110 mm diameters, vastly reducing the amount of joints in a pipeline
The relatively light weight of Acu-Gas makes it easy to transport, handle and install, offering overall project savings.
Electrofusion fittings can be used to weld gas pipe lengths, including using mechanical tapping bands, gas tapping saddles and branch saddles.
Very high safety factor: According to AS5601-2004, operating limit is 200 kPa, whereas the hydrostatic design pressure for Acu-Gas SDR11 pipe is 2000 kPa (before safety factor).
Live main self-tapping electrofusion tapping saddle fittings available for “hot tap-ins”.
Electrofusion welding equipment can be used for joining HDPE gas pipe, as well as HDPE pipe scrapers or turbo pipe scrapers, isopropyl welding wipes, and towing heads for HDD.
Gas flow through Acu-Gas pipe can be stopped by using a “squeeze-off” tool, where interruption is required for emergency, repair or tee-in operations etc.
