Underground gas pipework needs a pipe that won’t corrode and can cope with ground movement. This yellow MDPE gas pipe is polyethylene, so it doesn’t corrode, and MDPE has good resistance to shock and stress cracking and is tolerant of ground movement. The yellow colour identifies it as gas pipe.
It’s 63mm outside diameter PE80 MDPE, SDR 11, supplied in a 100m coil, so long runs need fewer joints. The pipe is made to GIS/PL2-2 and BS EN 1555-2 and is joined with MDPE gas fittings suited to the pipe size and rating.
A coil of MDPE is tightly wound under tension and must be handled with care. This is a very heavy coil, so plan how it will be moved and unloaded, using mechanical handling. It’s an oversized item, delivered on a pallet. Follow the manufacturer’s guidance when uncoiling it, to avoid injury or damage.
Gas work, including jointing and pressure testing, must be carried out by a suitably qualified, registered gas installer in accordance with the relevant standards.
For long, larger-bore underground gas runs, MDPE doesn’t corrode and copes well with ground movement, and the yellow colour tells anyone digging that it’s a gas pipe. A 100m coil means fewer joints on a long run, and the pipe is made to the polyethylene gas pipe standards.
