PVC-U is a Polyvinyl chloride without plasticizers that is extremely suitable for very wide applications, such as:
The main advantages of PVC-U are:
PVC-U has very good properties in a temperature range of 0°C to 60°C. At lower temperatures the impact resistance clearly decreases.

Figure 1 shows the maximum operating pressure for PN16, PN10 and PN6 fittings. This information is based on a lifespan of 50 years with a safety factor of 2.5.
The chemical resistance of PVC-U depends on the conditions of use and must be assessed for each situation.
For more information, see the chemical resistance list.
The fittings correspond to the following standards:
