Note
To ensure that the barrier properties of the system are maintained, only Puriton fittings should be used to connect Puriton pipe. The use of non Puriton fittings may compromise the barrier properties of the Puriton system.
Advanced Composite Structure
At the heart of the Puriton Barrier Pipe is its multi-layer composite structure. This innovative design integrates the remarkable flexibility of polyethylene (PE) with the exceptional barrier properties of aluminum (Al). The result? A highly durable pipe solution that can confidently withstand the rigors of distributing drinking water through contaminated land.
Puriton is not just a pipe, it’s a complete barrier system suitable for the transportation of potable water in brownfield and contaminated land.
Lightweight, flexible and corrosion resistant, Puriton delivers all the benefits associated with Polyethylene in sizes from 90mm for main pipes and sizes from 25,32 and 63mm for Puriton service pipe. It can be joined using a range of jointing solutions to suit a range of applications, including Redman™, or electrofusion fittings.
Puriton Barrier System has undergone rigorous testing and has received several approvals to ensure its a fully kitemarked system.
Delivers a range of cost benefits including, the elimination of costly soil surveys and removing contaminated soil to landfill. Reduction in joints with pipe lengths up to 100m and elimination of thrust blocks. Is suitable for no-dig installation techniques and has a 100 year life cycle.
