UV-Treated HDPE Pipes for Sale in Kenya
At HDPE Pipes, we provide the highest quality UV-treated HDPE pipes and fittings for agricultural irrigation, domestic use, and industrial applications throughout Kenya and East Africa. Our pipes are made from high-density polyethylene, which ensures durability and flexibility while withstanding extreme environmental conditions. Whether you’re looking for pipes to handle irrigation systems or to transport water, our range of HDPE pipes is designed to meet your needs with cost-effective and long-lasting solutions.
HDPE Pipes for Sale in Kenya Specifications
Our HDPE pipes are available in various sizes and pressure ratings to suit different applications. Here’s how we classify our pipes:
- Pipe Diameter: The diameter of the pipe influences its capacity and cost. Larger diameters are used for transporting large volumes of water and are more expensive than smaller ones.
- Pressure Nominal (PN): This indicates the amount of pressure the pipe can withstand. For instance, a PN6 pipe can handle up to 6 bars (60 meters of water head pressure), while a PN16 pipe withstands 16 bars (160 meters of pressure). The higher the PN rating, the thicker and more expensive the pipe.
Types of HDPE Pipes Available
We offer two types of HDPE pipes:
- HDPE 80: Used to transport raw gas materials.
- HDPE 100: Ideal for transporting water and other liquids in agricultural and industrial applications.
Our HDPE pipes come in both blue-line and black varieties. The blue lateral stripe is an external code used to indicate that the pipe carries water, making it easier to differentiate when placed in trenches alongside other pipelines, such as electric main pipes.

HDPE Pipe Sizes and Lengths
The length of the pipe is standardized based on its diameter:
- Pipes up to 90mm in diameter are available in 100-meter rolls.
- Larger pipes have shorter lengths according to their diameter.
We supply a wide range of pipe diameters, including:
- 16mm
- 20mm (1/2 inch)
- 25mm (3/4 inch)
- 32mm (1 inch)
- 40mm (1-1/4 inch)
- 50mm (1-1/2 inch)
- 63mm (2 inches)
- 75mm (2-1/2 inches)
- 90mm (3 inches)
- 110mm (4 inches)
For larger sizes, we source pipes from our local manufacturers in Kenya.
HDPE Fittings for Irrigation
We supply a complete range of HDPE fittings to ensure seamless connections in irrigation systems. Our fittings include:
- Tees
- Reducing tees
- Threaded tees
- Elbows (equal, male, female)
- Connectors (standard, reducing)
- Male and female adaptors
- End caps
These fittings range in size from 20mm to 110mm, making them versatile for various irrigation applications.
UV-Treated HDPE Pipes
All our HDPE pipes are UV-treated, making them resistant to prolonged sun exposure. This UV treatment ensures that the pipes remain functional and durable, even when laid on the surface and exposed to sunlight for extended periods.
Applications of HDPE Pipes
- Irrigation Systems: HDPE pipes are essential for drip and sprinkler irrigation, with 16mm pipes commonly used for supplying water directly to crops.
- Industrial Use: Our larger diameter pipes are ideal for industrial water transport and wastewater systems.
- Domestic Use: HDPE pipes are perfect for home water distribution systems.
Nationwide Supply and Delivery
We supply our HDPE pipes and fittings to all 47 counties in Kenya, including Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Uasin Gishu, Kiambu, Kajiado, Kakamega, Meru, Nyeri, and Machakos, among others. No matter where you are, we ensure timely delivery to meet your project needs.
FAQ
How do I connect HDPE pipes to other types of pipes like PVC or PPR?
We offer various HDPE fittings, such as couplings, adaptors, and tees, that allow HDPE pipes to connect with PVC, PPR, or other HDPE pipes.
What factors determine the price of HDPE pipes?
The price of HDPE pipes depends on their diameter and pressure nominal (PN) rating. Larger diameters and higher PN ratings result in higher costs.
Can HDPE pipes be exposed to sunlight?
Yes, all our HDPE pipes are UV-treated, making them suitable for surface installation where they may be exposed to sunlight.
What pipe size should I choose for irrigation?
The pipe size depends on the acreage and water requirements. Larger farms typically require larger pipes (e.g., 63mm or 75mm), while smaller farms use smaller pipes (e.g., 16mm or 20mm).
How do I determine the correct HDPE pipe thickness?
The thickness is determined by the water pressure. A farmer using gravity-fed water will use a PN6 pipe, while a pump-fed system may require PN10 or PN16 pipes, depending on the pump’s pressure.
