Long-Term Performance of Polyethylene Pipe in Potable Water Applications

Polyethylene pipe has been used for water in Europe and North America since the late 1950's. In 2009, Jana Lab reported on their multiyear study.

PE4710 Design Factor

Learn about new improved polyethylene, PE4710 that will allow you to operate at 25% higher pressure.

Working Pressure Rating and Fatigue Life

In addition to pressure ratings, fatigue lift is a critical issue to consider when selecting pipe. See how HDPE and PVC pipe compare on these important factors.

Pressure Rating and Surge Pressure Capability

Polyethylene pipe has the ability to handle surge pressures in excess of its pressure rating.

Small Bend Radius, Big Installation Advantage

HDPE has 10 times the bend radius of PVC, which can mean less pipe is needed for your next project.

Who says HDPE isn't tough enough to handle chlorine?

HDPE pipes contain additives which protect the pipe from the oxidizing effects of disinfectants.
