ProFuse RC pipes are used for transfer of pressurized potable water, sewer and gas. Colour of the pipe indicates the purpose of use. Blue with stripes is for drinking water, brown with stripes is for sewer and yellow with stripes is for gas. Pipes are available from outer diameter 63mm up to outer diameter 630mm. Biggest dimensions are available only in poles, but smaller dimensions are available also in coils. The product consists of the following materials 99% PP+PE, and 1% additives. Outer layer of the pipe is black with two stripes and inner layer is white for easier inspection. The pipe has an in-line socket, which is a solid part of the pipe and is produced on extrusion production line. The in-line socket reduces the number of joints needed by 50%.
