Each pipe has an outer diameter of 40mm (approximately 1-9/16") and a length of 300mm (approximately 11-13/16", or about 1 ft). You receive 5 pieces per pack. This makes the total combined length approximately 1,500mm (≈59") of pipe per order.

Yes. PVC pipe is generally easy to cut with a standard hacksaw, a dedicated PVC pipe cutter, or a miter saw. The 300mm length gives you a practical starting point that can be trimmed to your exact requirement. Always deburr the cut end with sandpaper or a deburring tool for a clean fit into fittings.

The inner diameter and wall thickness depend on the pressure schedule of the pipe. For a 40mm OD PVC pipe, the inner diameter is typically around 33–36mm and wall thickness is typically 2–3.5mm, but this varies by schedule rating. Please contact us to confirm the exact specification for this listing before ordering for pressure-rated applications.

PVC pipe is generally resistant to moisture and many chemicals, making it suitable for outdoor use in most climates. However, prolonged direct UV exposure can cause gradual surface degradation over time. For underground drainage or irrigation applications, PVC is a commonly used and generally reliable choice. If long-term outdoor UV exposure is a concern, consider painting the pipe with a UV-resistant paint or wrapping it.

This pipe is sized at 40mm OD, which is a common metric PVC size. It is generally compatible with standard 40mm metric PVC fittings including couplings, elbows, tees, reducers, and end caps. Always verify the fitting's inner diameter matches the pipe's outer diameter before purchasing. Note that metric 40mm OD is different from nominal pipe sizes used in some US plumbing standards — confirm compatibility with your existing system.

PVC pipe is widely used in aquarium filtration systems, pond plumbing, and decorative water features. It is generally non-toxic once fully cured and resistant to water and mild chemicals. For food-grade or potable water applications, please confirm the pipe's specific rating with us before use, as not all PVC formulations are certified for drinking water contact.

The pressure rating of PVC pipe depends on its wall thickness and schedule rating. For a 40mm pipe, pressure ratings typically range from around 6 to 16 bar depending on the schedule. This listing is intended for general DIY, drainage, and low-to-medium pressure applications. Please contact us to confirm the pressure rating if your project requires a specific certified value.
