Why use Pre-Insulated HDPE Pipe?
There are several advantages in using high density polyethylene over other pipe materials, including: • Economical installed cost. • Light weight. • Flexible, HDPE pipe follows the contours of most terrain and often the bending properties of the pipe can eliminate the need for elbows. • Less susceptible to shear fracture. • Less susceptible to water hammer. • Superior flow characteristics. • Unaffected by corrosive soils. • Inert to most chemicals. • Greater resistance to earth loadings. • Superior abrasion resistance. • Outstanding resistance to very low temperature. • THERMOCABLE. electric tracing system available, if required. • Factory applied rigid polyurethane insulation, the lowest K factor of all commercially available insulations. • High density adhesive backed polyethylene outer protective jacket. Jacket is water tight, impact resistant and UV inhibited. A selection of alternate metal jackets are also available. • A complete range of compatible fittings and polymer coated ins
