Australian air gun pvc pipe specs/rating/psi

[frankrede]

Oh thats in AUS!
Hmm things are probably different here, but I dont have to worry.I only go to 150.

so You aussies say that Reece is a good one for pressure PVC. Someone mentioned 12 bar, that will be fine to crank up to 200 if you ever wanted to, or will that be pushing it just a tiny bit? I know someone mentioned that it goes up to 3x the rating.

if anyone is having difficulty finding piezo ignters they are avalible from k-mart for $13

[FreakyShotGlass]

You can get them from Bunnings as well for the same price

[Tyro]

whats the price on that stuff?

12 bar is about 170psi not 200 stick to the pressure rating of pipe,its there for a reason.I was wondering what the wall thickness is on sch40 2" pipe against PN12 50mm pipe the wall thicknes of 50mm PN12 is 3.7mm whats the wall thickness on sch40??

ok metal might be the same price, but if your makin' summin' your gonna carry around, metal might be your last option.

I was at bunnings and recce today and checked out the PVC piping but I have no idea if theyre pressure rated, Ive already bought some PVC piping from bunnings before for my combustion spud gun and its worked fine so should they be alright? Also people on this forum seem to be saying sprinker valves are the way to go, why is this?

cheers.

bunnings sell PN12 (12 bar) 173 PSI pipe (50mm)

and the "orbit" sprinker valve is the go!!

[rna_duelers]

Look for the PN rating of the pipe they come in PN9 PN12 PN15 PN18 PN20 the numbers represent there running pressure in bar (1bar=14.7Psi)But the most common is PN12 and PN18 i have yet to find a PN20 piece of pipe.
