uPVC Pipe Identification & CP Series Pumps – Sump & Groundwater Solutions

Ensure the correct specification for your installation with this guide to uPVC pipe identification and the high-performance CP Series submersible pumps. Designed for reliability and efficiency, these systems are essential for basement waterproofing, sump pump setups, and groundwater control.

uPVC Pipe & Fittings Identification

uPVC pipe and fittings are available in the following sizes:

• 50mm, 63mm, 75mm, 90mm (metric)
• 2” and 3” (imperial)

Understanding the difference is key for correct ordering and installation:

• Metric pipe: Measured by outer diameter (OD)
• Imperial pipe: Measured by inner diameter (ID)

This ensures compatibility across pipework, fittings, and pump systems.
