Description
Engineered for Demanding Applications
Our 3-inch puddle flange pipe represents a significant step up in flow capacity while maintaining the precision manufacturing standards that define all Infinite Leisure products. Crafted from premium uPVC Class ‘E’ material with a consistent 8mm wall thickness, this product delivers the structural strength necessary for high-pressure, high-volume applications in commercial and industrial environments.
The 15-bar working pressure rating ensures reliable performance even under demanding operational conditions, while the UV-resistant, chemically-stable material formulation withstands decades of exposure to harsh UAE climate conditions. Each 1-meter pipe features the square flange plate precisely positioned at 600mm, providing installation flexibility while guaranteeing the waterproofing barrier sits exactly where structural engineering demands.
Primary Applications for 3″ Diameter
The 3″ uPVC puddle flange pipe serves critical waterproofing needs in large-scale projects where flow capacity and system reliability are paramount:
Olympic and Competition Swimming Pools – Essential for main circulation systems, competition pool drain configurations, and high-volume filtration equipment connections in sports facilities and aquatic centers.
Resort and Hotel Pool Complexes – Handles the substantial flow requirements of large resort pools, lazy rivers, wave pools, and interconnected water feature systems in hospitality developments.
Commercial Water Storage Facilities – Standard specification for high-capacity water tanks serving apartment complexes, office towers, hotels, and industrial facilities requiring large-volume water supply systems.
Municipal Water Infrastructure – Ideal for public facility water systems, district cooling plant connections, and municipal utility penetrations through concrete structures in government and civic projects.
Industrial Process Systems – Chemical-resistant solution for manufacturing facilities, processing plants, and industrial complexes requiring large-diameter piping penetrations through containment structures.
Wastewater Treatment Plants – Durable waterproofing for sewage and wastewater system penetrations where chemical resistance and long-term reliability are critical operational requirements.
Agricultural and Irrigation Projects – Supports high-capacity irrigation systems, farm water distribution networks, and agricultural facility water supply penetrations throughout rural development projects.
Advanced Engineering for Superior Performance
The 3″ diameter introduces engineering considerations that distinguish it from smaller puddle flange sizes. The larger pipe diameter requires proportionally greater flange plate dimensions to maintain effective waterproofing performance, and our design team has optimized these specifications based on extensive field experience and hydraulic engineering principles.
The square flange plate configuration becomes increasingly advantageous at larger diameters, providing substantially greater concrete bonding surface area compared to circular alternatives. This enhanced bonding creates a mechanical waterproofing barrier that improves with age as the concrete structure continues curing and developing compressive strength around the embedded flange.
Our advanced manufacturing process employs specialized welding equipment designed specifically for larger-diameter pipe assemblies. This technology ensures complete fusion penetration around the entire flange circumference, creating a unified structural element that eliminates potential weak points in the waterproofing system. Quality control procedures include non-destructive testing methods that verify weld integrity without compromising the finished product.
Material Performance in Challenging Environments
The uPVC Class ‘E’ material specification proves particularly valuable in 3″ diameter applications where pipes often carry chemically-treated water, industrial process fluids, or wastewater streams. This premium-grade formulation resists degradation from chlorine, acids, alkalis, and organic solvents commonly encountered in commercial and industrial applications.
Temperature stability remains critical for larger-diameter pipes that may experience significant thermal cycling. Our Class ‘E’ material maintains dimensional integrity across the full temperature range encountered in UAE construction, from air-conditioned interior spaces to exposed exterior installations under direct summer sun.
Installation Considerations for Large Diameter Systems
Professional contractors appreciate the installation advantages built into our 3″ puddle flange design. While larger diameter pipes naturally require more substantial formwork openings and careful handling during concrete placement, our standardized 1-meter length and precisely-positioned flange simplify the installation process and reduce potential for positioning errors.
The pipe’s structural rigidity at 3″ diameter, combined with the 8mm wall thickness, provides inherent stability during concrete pouring operations. This minimizes the risk of pipe displacement or misalignment that could compromise waterproofing effectiveness—a common concern with lighter-weight, thinner-walled alternatives.
Complete Technical Support for Complex Projects
Large-diameter puddle flange installations often involve complex engineering considerations, multiple penetration points, and coordination with other construction trades. Infinite Leisure’s technical team provides comprehensive support throughout project planning, specification development, and installation execution to ensure optimal results.
