The Many Advantage of Pe Fittings for Laying Pipe Networks

When it comes to selecting the right pipes for a construction, it is important to find the material which will not only give value for money but also ensure long lasting performance. Apart from the PVC pipes recommended by PVC distributors, one of  the materials which has acquired immense popularity for pipes and pipe connector systems is High Density Polyethylene, commonly known as PE. Made from thermoplastic, PE fittings are extremely malleable, recyclable, durable and also extremely cost effective. Let us look in detail at some of the many advantages of laying PE pipes and fittings:

1.High corrosion resistance: PE pipes and fittings are made from thermoplastic which makes them highly resistant to corrosion from the elements. Unlike metallic pipes which can rust and get oxidized on coming in contact with certain elements, and which can also affect their surface and thereby the water flow in the pipes, PE pipes do not rust, corrode or rot over time and are long lasting and low maintenance.

2.Enhanced flexibility: Another major advantage of PE pipes is that unlike metallic and other pipes which are rigid, PE pipes are extremely flexible. This property gives it the ability to withstand fatigue over time and to handle high water pressure. The enhanced flexibility of the PE pipes also reduces the needs for joints in the installation.

3.Long shelf life: Since they do not rust, corrode or crack, PE pipes and fittings are extremely durable and can withstand wear and tear over time to last for decades, with estimates that they may last as long as 100 years.

4.Leakage resistance: In most pipe installations, owing to the nature of the fittings and joints, a large amount of water is lost due to leakage. PE pipes can be joined by using heat fusion to create permanent joints which do away with leakages entirely. They are also extremely adaptable for use with other methods of joining, which makes them an ideal material to work with for any construction.

5.Eco-friendly: Compared to other metallic pipes used in sanitary ad drainage systems, PE pipes are manufactured using much lower energy, which reduces the carbon footprint. The pipes can also be recycled eventually for non-pressure piping applications, thereby providing an eco-friendly piping solution.
