DriscoPlex® 5300 Series Climate Guard® Piping System
DriscoPlex® 5300 Series Climate Guard® high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe and fittings are a quality piping system for closed-loop earth coupled heat pump applications. These systems are also somethimes referred to as geothermal, ground source, geo-exchange or ground loop systems. DriscoPlex® 5300 series pipe and fittings are the piping system of choice of many engineers, distributors, contractors, and end users for residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial projects.
Performance Pipe has a long history of innovation in the geothermal market. Performance Pipe designed, developed, and commercialized the UniCoil® in 1994. The UniCoil® revolutionized the way ground loop systems are installed and today is often imitated by other pipe and fittings manufacturers. Performance Pipe was also the first manufacturer to provide UniCoils® in standard lengths that allowed 5' pigtails to remain after bore hole insertion. This feature, when coupled with sequential footage marks, provide the added benefit of allowing the bore hole depth to be verified.
DriscoPlex® 5300 series pipe and fittings meet the International Ground Source Heat Pump Associations (IGSHPA) and ASTM specifications and requirements for geothermal heat pump systems.
