TRANSIT, OFF-LOADING, AND STORAGE

Although UPP

®

 polyethylene pipe and fittings are extremely hard wearing and resilient, it is important to handle 

and store them with care to prevent scuffing or gouging. Any damaged pipes may need to be rejected and not 

installed. To assess whether pipes are damaged, use calipers to gauge if wall thickness is < 10%.
UPP

®

 products should be transported in a flat-bedded vehicle, free from sharp objects and projections. Wide 

polypropylene slings must be used when lifting pipe crates by crane. Avoid using chains, hooks or hawsers. A 

spreading beam should be used when lifting crates containing pipe lengths greater than 6 m (19 ft 8 in):

•  Allow for a slight bending of the pipe crates when on and off-loading.

•  Standard 6 m (19 ft 8 in) crates may be moved using a forklift. A side loader fitted with a minimum of four 

supporting forks should be used for longer lengths. Otherwise use a crane fitted with a spreader beam.

•  When using a forklift to on or off-load coils, the forks should be covered to avoid damage to the coiled pipe.

STORAGE ON SITE

•  Individual pipe lengths should be stacked not more than 1 m (3 ft) high with the bottom layer fully restrained 

by wedges. The bottom layer of pipes should be laid on timber battens at 1 m (3 ft) centres to avoid any 

damage from sharp objects lying on the ground.

•  Pipe crates should be stored on clear, level ground and should never be stacked more than three crates high.
•  Coils should be stored on firm level ground that has suitable protection for the bottom of the coil. Primary 

pipe and UL double-wall pipe can be stacked four coils high, but EN double wall pipe should never be 

stacked more than three coils high. Individual coils should be stacked flat. If stored on edge, they must be 

secured against a properly anchored support and stored like this for a short period of time only, particularly 

in warm weather conditions.

•  Badly stacked coils and pipe lengths can slip causing personal injury or damage to the product. Facilities for 

safe lifting and moving must be available.

•  Pipes are supplied with end caps to prevent entry of any contamination. These end caps must be kept in 

place during storage.

•  UPP

®

 fittings: All electrofusion fittings are packed in heat-sealed polyethylene bags and delivered in 

cardboard cartons. Fittings should be stored in their packaging and in a dry area, away from direct sunlight, 

until ready for use. This is particularly important for electrofusion fittings. These must be kept in their 

packaging until ready for use to prevent any contamination or oxidation.
