PE100 Poly Pipe Colour Coding Guide

PE100 Poly Pipe Colour Coding Guide: Your Essential HDPE Pipe Reference

Accurate poly pipe identification is paramount for successful and safe piping systems. Therefore, at Acu-Tech Piping Systems, we’ve developed a comprehensive PE100 Poly Pipe colour coding guide.

This guide provides clear, concise information for professionals working with HDPE pipe and poly pipe systems. Colour coding, crucially, ensures correct installation, maintenance, and safety across numerous applications. 

Furthermore, this guide serves as a definitive reference for the colour coding used on PE100 Poly pipe.

PE 100 (Polyethylene 100) is a high-density polyethylene material, celebrated for its strength, durability, and chemical resistance. Consequently, it’s the preferred choice for piping applications, including water supply, gas distribution, and industrial processes. Moreover, our Poly Pipe solutions are engineered to meet the highest industry standards, guaranteeing reliable, long-lasting performance. Indeed, HDPE pipe is recognised for its extended operational life.

Colour coding acts as a vital visual indicator, rapidly identifying the pipe’s intended use and the materials it carries. This allows professionals to prevent installation errors, reduce cross-contamination risks, and streamline maintenance procedures. Specifically, correct colour coding of PE pipe enhances safety.
