How to specify this correctly
Most costly mistakes on pipes & fittings happen at specification, not at purchase. Confirm the grade or class against the actual application rather than the nearest shelf equivalent, check that the tolerance stated is the tolerance supplied, and make sure any certification you will need is agreed at order stage rather than discovered on delivery.
Where a substitution is offered, compare it on the same basis: same specification, same tolerance, same documentation, same delivery point. A keener number against a lesser specification is not a saving, and on a project it is usually discovered at the worst possible moment.
Buying in volume
Volume improves pricing, but consolidation improves it more. Buyers who bring related lines onto a single order routinely beat those splitting across suppliers to chase individual line prices, because transport, handling and site time cost more than the difference. On repeat requirements, a call-off arrangement protects both price and availability.
Ordering and delivery
Trade and volume pricing is available on request. Send us your quantities and delivery address and we will confirm current pricing, stock position and lead time. Delivery is available to all major South African centres.
For export orders we consolidate mixed loads across categories so a single container is filled efficiently, with the standard export documentation supplied and specification equivalence confirmed before shipment.
Frequently asked questions
Which pressure class do I need?
Pressure class follows the working pressure of the system plus a safety margin. Send us the application and working pressure and we will confirm the correct class.
Are fittings included?
Fittings are supplied separately so the system matches your jointing method. We will quote the matching fittings alongside the pipe.
Is the pipe UV stable?
UV stability varies by material. Where pipe is installed above ground, specify a UV-stabilised option or protect the run.
Can you quote against my schedule of quantities?
Yes. Send the schedule with delivery address and we will price the full line, confirm stock position and give a lead time for anything on indent.
Do you supply both single orders and project quantities?
Both. Single items ship alongside project supply, and pricing is confirmed against the quantity you actually need.
