The Polypipe MU303 is a
2 inch (50mm) Modified Unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride (MuPVC) solvent weld waste pipe, part of their "System 2000" range. It is designed for efficient waste water management in residential and commercial plumbing systems.
Key Features and Specifications
- Material: MuPVC (Modified unplasticised polyvinyl chloride). This material is the preferred choice in systems where higher temperatures and a greater use of chemicals are involved (e.g., in schools or dentists' offices). It is more rigid and durable than standard PVC.
- Size: 50mm nominal internal diameter (often referred to as 2 inches). The external diameter is approximately 55mm, with a specified thickness of 52mm for the overall length/width dimensions when packaged.
- Length: Typically available in 3-meter (3000mm) lengths, though 1-meter lengths also exist.
- Jointing Method: Solvent Weld (requires the use of a suitable solvent cement to create a permanent, watertight seal). It is not compatible with push-fit fittings.
- Standards: Manufactured in compliance with BS EN 1455-1 standards.
- Colour: Available in White, Black, and Solvent Grey. The specific product code often indicates the colour (e.g., MU303W for White, MU303B for Black, MU303SG for Solvent Grey).
- Application: Suitable for a broad scope of residential and commercial waste systems, handling intermittent discharges of waste water up to 80°C.
Summary
The MU303 pipe is a robust, high-quality solution for creating a permanent, solvent-welded waste system capable of handling higher temperatures and chemical use compared to basic plastic systems.
