HDPE Pipes
High-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes are a popular choice for water supply lines due to their many advantages. They are strong, flexible, and resistant to corrosion, chemicals, and abrasion. HDPE pipes can also withstand freezing temperatures and fluctuating water pressure.
Advantages
- Leak-free fused joints: HDPE pipes are joined together using heat fusion, which creates a strong, permanent bond that is virtually leak-proof.
- Corrosion resistance: HDPE is resistant to rust, corrosion, and other environmental factors that can degrade metal pipes.
- Chemical resistance: HDPE is resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including chlorine, which is commonly used in municipal water supplies.
- Abrasion resistance: HDPE is resistant to abrasion, which makes it a good choice for use in underground applications or areas where the pipes may be exposed to rocks or other abrasive materials.
- Flexibility: HDPE pipes are flexible, which makes them easy to install around curves and obstacles.
- Freeze-thaw resistance: HDPE pipes can withstand freezing temperatures without cracking or breaking.
- Long lifespan: HDPE pipes can last for 50 years or more with proper installation and maintenance.
