The
inner and outer layers of composite multilayer
Plypipe are PE; and
its middle layer is aluminum combined with bonder.
Plypipe has most of
the advantages of plastic pipe and metallic pipe.
Its advantages are
easy bending,
anti-rust,
non-corrosion, and acid resistance. It is widely used in the
transportation of hot and cold water, beverages,
gases, heating liquid or shipbuilding pipe.
Non-corrosion
Plypipe's inner and
outer layers consist of either linear polyethylene
(HDPE) or cross-linked polyethylene ( PEX )
or Medium PE ( PE-MD
). At normal
temperature, it does not
dissolve in any known solutions and is resistant
against acid, alkali and
salt of various kinds.
Both materials offer
perhaps the best chemical and corrosion resistance
of any plastic used in the manufacture of plumbing
pipes. The
polyolefin family of plastics - HDPE and PEX and
PE-MD included - is renowned for it's toughness,
long working life and resistance to
deterioration in the most extreme
environments.
On the other hand, when metal
or copper pipes are exposed to aggressive soil and
water conditions, they are susceptible to
corrosion and pitting.
Clean &
Healthy
The
entire Plypipe plumbing system is designed to
provide you with the cleanest drinking water
possible.
Plypipe's clean, non-corroding
plastic interior is resistant to deterioration in
aggressive water conditions. You
needn't
worry about odor, color or taste
problems arising because of the plumbing pipes in
your home.
And given Plypipe
built in permeation barrier, you
have built in peace of mind that your buried water
pipes will not be permeated by ground source
contaminants.
Easy
Installation
No more copper sticks, no more
sweating joints every few feet. Plypipe's convenient,
lightweight coils allow you to install a
professional plumbing system quickly and
efficiently. Installation crews are
less fatigued and larger coils mean less
wastage.
Need to make a bend ? Go ahead. Need to snake pipe around
an obstruction ? There's nothing stopping you. When the system calls for
a fitting, you simply cut, bevel, insert and crimp
the pipe for secure, long-term connections. It's
realy that fast and
simple.
Go
anywhere with Plypipe
Plypipe can be installed in
walls and ceilings or surface mounted. It can be supported
horizontally or vertically on 8 foot centers
because its stiffness and expansion rate is
similar to copper's. Plypipe can be encased in
concrete or buried underground without additional
protection because its tough outer plastic layer
resists chemicals and corrosive
activity.
And
Plypipe's aluminum core provides a 100% permeation
barrier against ground source contaminants like
fertilizer and pesticide.
Superior Flow
Plypipe's smooth inner plastic wall
permanently resists scaling and mineral build-up,
keeping water flow constant year after year. Unlike metal pipes, you won't see a reduction in flow area with
Plypipe. That means
home owners can enjoy a constant water pressure
throughout the house, throughout the
years.
Plypipe
uses fewer fittings almost half the fittings used
in a copper system.
Fewer fitting joints means less chance of
leakage and less liability.
It
is not only designed for
better long term flow rates, the inner plastic
layer is non-corroding and won't pit, pinhole, or erode in aggressive
water conditions.
Plypipe is designed to provide years of
trouble free performance in the toughest of
conditions. Other
pipes just don't compare.
Low
Expansion and Contraction
Plypipe's aluminum core controls the
amount of expansion and contraction in the
pipe. In fact
although Plypipe looks like a plastic pipe its
expansion rate is very similar to copper’s
so you do not have to worry about
building in costly and time consuming pipe
offsets.
