The breadth of PE Pipeline Specialists’ product range allows the company to supply industry leading solutions for the transportation and distribution of gas, water and wastewater.

With products available for gas applications, PE Pipeline Specialists is a leading supplier of gas valves from AVK and Radius Systems.

AVK is a world leading manufacturer for valves and fittings for industries including water, gas and wastewater, with over 400 employees in the UK alone, and over 4,400 worldwide.
