ADVANTAGES


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.
