The pressure rating of PVC pipe and fittings reduces with increasing temperature. To calculate the actual pressure rating of the product at each temperature, the noted pressure rating must be multiplied by the 'de-rating multiple', as explained on our PVC category page.

The temperature derating table of this fitting is as follows:

Temperature (°C)	Pressure Rating (bar)
20	10
30	8
40	5.8
50	3.9
60	2.2

PVC pipe has a recommended operating temperature of 0 - 60° centigrade (32 - 140°F).

This 3" plain flange set is compatible with 3" PVC pressure pipe. It is not compatible with metric PVC pressure pipes or fittings. 3" pipe actually has an outside diameter of 88.9mm.

3" pipes (measuring 88.9mm outer diameter) will slot inside the socket ends of this flange set to be solvent welded.
