Furniture Grade Pipe and Fittings

Short answer - No. Furniture Grade pipe and fittings are manufactured to USA specifications and so are different internal and external diameters to other pipes you will find in the UK.

• Furniture pipe and fittings are manufactured with a formulation with added UV stabilisers that, as well as increasing their life span outdoors, makes for a more ductile material. This makes them physically stronger and less likely to crack under physical pressure. With the exception of snap clamps, which are UV stable for approx. 2 years.
• These parts and pipe are manufactured without any manufacturers' markings, making them much more pleasing to the eye.
• The sockets of furniture grade fittings are more extended than normal pressure sockets and chamfered on the end, which gives them additional support, as well as improved aesthetics.
• The finish on furniture/display grade fittings is more glossy than standard PVC pipe, and is protected from scratching during manufacture, packaging and transportation.

All our PVC furniture grade pipes and fittings are manufactured to North American Schedule 40 standards. This means they have a heavy duty thicker wall and are far more robust than standard plumbing pipes found in the UK. See the video below for a demonstration:
