PP501 Polyethylene Piping for Water Distribution and Transmission
	Quickly familiarize yourself with the most important features of polyethylene pipe for water applications.

PP410 Ultraline® HDPE Water Service Pipe & Tubing
	DriscoPlex® 5100 Series Ultra-Line® HDPE water service pipe and tubing is now available with higher pressure ratings.

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.
PP515-a PE4710 Design Factor
Learn about new improved polyethylene, PE4710 that will allow you to operate at 25% higher pressure.
PP402 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.
PP401-3608 & 4710 Pressure Rating and Surge Pressure Capability
Polyethylene pipe has the ability to handle surge pressures in excess of its pressure rating.
PP407 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.
PP408 Use HDPE and Avoid Rapid Crack Propagation
How resistant is your pipe to RCP? Know the facts.
PP409 Who says HDPE isn't tough enough to handle chlorine?
HDPE pipes contain additives which protect the pipe from the oxidizing effects of disinfectants.
