Yep they're just a low pressure pipe so the thickness is the same as stormwater pipe and being less plastic the fittings are cheaper than regular plumbing pipe but they will be the same as storm water pipe fittings. Blue is usually used for potable water but in this case it just provides a user a quick way of differentiating between systems. All of bunnings plumbing stuff is way over priced and even my local Mitre 10 store beats them on most fittings. Pipeco in welsh pool are cheaper still.
