Various Applications of HDPE Pipe Fittings

Given the advancement of technology, plastic pipes of various types have emerged as the most popular preferences for piping solutions. While the popular ones include polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and its modifications such as uPVC and CPVC, among the lesser known and equally efficient ones are PP RCT and PPR pipes, as well as the high density polyethylene or HDPE. Pipes and fittings made of HDPE are used in a wide range of applications on account of their various properties. Let us take a look at some of these properties and applications of HDPE fittings:
1. HDPE is known to have extraordinarily high resistance to the corrosive action of not just chemical reagents but also natural reagents in the form of soil and other minerals present in the water. This corrosion resistance of HDPE pipe fittings makes them well suited for the supply of potable water to homes and other establishments.

2. The secure and leakproof joints which are used to connect HDPE pipe connector with pipes also allows for the high pressure transport of gases and liquids. This allows them to be used in the transport of fluids and gases even across long distances. They are in fact the preferred choice of systems for use in gas pipelines which use HDPE pipes for mains which then branch out into individual distribution channels.

3. HDPE is also resistant to weather changes and does not damage easily. This is a reason why pipes and fittings of HDPE are often used for outdoor installation of pipelines and for insulating wires and cables installed in the open.

4. The HDPE pipe connectors are also used in pipeline connections for water mains for supply to commercial and industrial establishments. The double-layer HDPE pipes and their corresponding fittings show higher resistance and durability, which makes them suitable for high volume applications as well.

5. Food grade versions of HDPE are also ideal for use in food processing and manufacture industries. The fittings used in these systems are designed to ensure that even under the toughest service conditions, the connections are secure and do not cause leakages or contamination.
