PE-RT Pipe and Pipe Fitting
PE-RT (Polyethylene of Raised Temperature Resistance) pipes and fittings are widely used for plumbing and heating applications due to their flexibility, durability, and high resistance to temperature variations.
Overview
Introduction
PE-RT Pipes:
Material Composition: PE-RT pipes are made from a type of polyethylene that is designed to have improved resistance to elevated temperatures, making it ideal for hot and cold water supply systems.
Temperature Resistance: These pipes can handle temperatures typically up to 70°C (158°F) for continuous use and higher temperatures up to 90°C (194°F) for short-term use, making them suitable for underfloor heating and radiator connections.
Flexibility: PE-RT pipes are highly flexible, which allows for easy installation with fewer fittings. This also reduces the potential for leaks at connection points.
Corrosion and Scaling Resistance: The material is resistant to corrosion and scaling, ensuring long-term durability and a clean water supply.
Applications: Commonly used in residential and commercial plumbing systems, underfloor heating systems, and in some cases, industrial applications where moderate temperatures are involved.
