What is Aquadex Dadex upvc Pressure pipe 2″ ?
The Aquadex uPVC Pressure Pipe 2″ is a rigid thermoplastic pressure pipe manufactured by under the Aquadex Pressure Pipe System range. It is designed for potable water distribution, HVAC chilled-water systems, industrial process piping, irrigation networks, drainage systems, and fire-ring mains. The pipe is produced from un plasticized polyvinyl chloride (uPVC), which offers high strength, corrosion resistance, and long service life.
Description Aquadex Dadex upvc Pressure pipe 2″
Aquadex 2″ uPVC pressure pipe is commonly used where reliable pressure handling and chemical resistance are required. Compared with traditional steel or galvanized pipes, uPVC pipes are lighter, easier to install, and resistant to rust, scaling, and electrochemical corrosion. The smooth internal surface helps maintain high flow efficiency and reduces pumping losses.

HVAC Applications
The 2″ Aquadex uPVC Pressure Pipe is widely used in HVAC systems for:
- Chilled water circulation
- Air-conditioning water distribution
- Cooling tower connections
- Refrigeration plant piping
- Condensate drainage
- Process cooling systems
- Water treatment systems
Dadex specifically lists chilled-water lines for refrigeration and air-conditioning plants among the intended applications of the Aquadex system.
Hot and Cold Water Supply Applications
Cold Water Supply
The pipe is highly suitable for:
- Residential water supply
- Commercial plumbing systems
- Municipal water distribution
- Potable water transmission
- Agricultural irrigation
- Industrial water supply
Hot Water Supply
Standard uPVC pressure pipe can handle temperatures up to approximately 60°C. For continuous hot-water systems operating above this range, CPVC piping is generally recommended because it offers better temperature resistance. As water temperature increases, allowable pressure ratings decrease.
Installation Procedure
1. Pipe Cutting
- Use a PVC cutter or fine-tooth saw.
- Ensure a square and clean cut.
2. Deburring
- Remove burrs from inside and outside edges.
- Smooth edges help prevent leakage.
3. Dry Assembly
- Check fitting alignment before bonding.
4. Surface Cleaning
- Clean pipe and fitting sockets using PVC cleaner or primer.
5. Solvent Cement Jointing
- Apply approved PVC solvent cement evenly.
- Insert pipe fully into fitting socket.
- Rotate slightly during insertion for uniform bonding.
- Hold in position for several seconds.
6. Curing Time
- Allow proper curing before pressurizing the system.
7. Pressure Testing
- Perform hydrostatic testing.
- Dadex recommends field pressure testing at approximately 1.5 times the working pressure of the pipeline system.
Handling and Storage
- Store on flat surfaces.
- Avoid excessive pipe overhang.
- Protect from prolonged direct sunlight.
- Stack pipes evenly to prevent deformation.
- Keep sockets from carrying excessive load during storage and transport.
Common Uses
- HVAC chilled-water systems
- Cold potable water supply
- Industrial process piping
- Irrigation systems
- Effluent and slurry lines
- Cooling towers
- Chemical plants
- Water treatment facilities
- Fire-ring mains
- Power plant utility piping
- Sewer mains and pumped systems
