3STTW Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Does anyone have a list of all the blue water pipe dimensions including the OD/ID's, preferably all the fittings too? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artisi Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) It's available on the net, I probably have it buried somewhere, but would be quicker to do a net search. The sizes are controlled by the pipe OD, with wall thickness changing based on pressure rating. Edited March 15, 2021 by Artisi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason why I'm asking is that I downloaded a PDF a while back but on a recent visit to HomePro discovered that they're different. I must have seen about a dozen sites on the web, all with slightly different dimensions. I'm trying to build a dust extraction setup for my workshop and it's really frustrating. I know I'm going to need to make some adapters but I'd like to know what I'm dealing with before I buy. Last resort is I go back to HP and measure them with a vernier.

Don't know where you are getting conflicting data from, UPVC for water supply are all to 1 standard, with OD controlled by the standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not easy here to go by the label. I take my small steel rule with me and a sample of the the pipe I want to replace for fittings, taps etc so yes just take your vernier calliper with you when you go hunting.

Never seen the "5" (bar) pressure variant (extra thin). Most cheap installation is done with the 8.5 bar variant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverlomsak Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I buy 1/2 in pipe and 1/2 fittings or 1 in pipe and 1 in fittings and use 1 in to 1/2 in reducers never has a problem in 15 years. Only problem is when you want to change something need to do more than you would like due to glued joints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vast majority of installations round here are in 5 bar, very few in 8.5, few places sell that, and the only place I can reliably find 13.5 is in HomePro.

Must be a different country. 13.5 available in about every major hardware store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 None of the 1/2" that I used over the years is different from this. Available everywhere. (even at mom&pop shops). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I don’t use blue pipe at all for supply in my current house and prior to that only used 13.5 when replacing pipe that had become brittle or for new work. But what I, or you, use isn’t material to the point, which is that the 5 is commonly available in the local shops. For 13.5 there is a minimum 110km round trip.
