The Advantages of using Plastic Pipe System in Pakistan

Every prospective homeowner strives to include the highest quality materials and artistry throughout every stage of the construction process. Installation of high-quality HDPE pipes is one of these all-too-important problems. Inside an average home’s walls and beneath the flooring, many different lines are commonly available in plastic, metal, and concrete finishes. We’ll go over some of the specific user benefits that the plastic pipe system offers in Pakistan.

1. Heat Fused Joints — Advantages

Heat may fuse the Plastic Pipe system to create a leak-free connection that is as robust as or more potent than the pipe itself. This fusing removes the possible leak sites seen in PVC and Ductile Iron bells and spigot connections every 10-20 feet.

HDPE pipes have a lower Life Cycle Cost than other pipe materials because it has no “allowable water leakage,” compared to PVC and Ductile Iron, which have leakage rates of 10 to 20%.

Other than that, fused joints in the Plastic Pipe system are self-restraining, eliminating the need for expensive thrust restraints or thrust blocks. The fused connections of these pipes do not leak, minimizing the infiltration and exfiltration issues that might occur with other pipe joints.

2. Flexible and Fatigue Resistant — Advantages

UPVC Pipes are versatile to a radius of 25 times the nominal pipe diameter (for example, a 12″ HDPE pipe can be cold formed to a radius of 25 feet in the field). Many fittings are necessary for directional changes in a pipe system where fittings, thrust blocks, or restraints are required with alternate materials that can be eliminated with this method.

UPVC pressure pipe’s elasticity is ideal for dynamic soils, such as earthquake-prone locations. It can withstand pressure surges that are substantially higher than the pipe’s static pressure rating.

3. Construction & Building Material – Advantages

With bell and spigot connections, the combination of flexibility and leak-free joints allows for innovative and cost-effective installation methods that stiff PVC and Ductile Iron pipes cannot employ. In most potable water applications, these alternative installation methods (Horizontal Directional Drilling, Pipe Bursting, Slip-lining, Plow, and Plant, Submerged or Floating Pipe, etc.) can save time and money.

Polyethene pipe is available in straight lengths of up to 50 feet and coiled diameters of up to 6 inches. Depending on the size, coiled lengths of over 1000 feet are available, allowing for low-cost installations.

Because UPVC Pipes have roughly one-eighth the density of steel, they may be installed without the use of heavy lifting equipment.

4. Economic, Long-Term, & Permanent – Advantages

Because of its physical qualities, leak-free connections, and lower maintenance costs, polyethene pipe installations are cost-effective and provide long-term cost advantages.

The polyethene pipe industry believes that HDPE pipe has a service life of 50-100 years. This pertains to savings in replacement expenses for future generations.

5. Corrosion and Chemical Resistance — Advantage

The PVC pipe will not corrode or promote biological development. PVC pipe offers excellent chemical resistance and is the preferred material in difficult chemical situations.

Many plastic pipes share the advantages of corrosion and chemical resistance over traditional metal pipes, but UPVC pipe uniquely combines these properties with the advantages of heat-fused joints, flexibility, and fatigue.

6. Handling — Advantages

HDPE pipe is significantly easier to handle and install than heavy, inflexible metallic or concrete pipe segments, allowing for significant cost savings throughout the building process.

Polyethene pipes can sustain an impact more structurally than UPVC pipes, especially in cold weather installations where other pipes are more prone to cracks and breaks.

7. The C Factor of Ha-Zen Williams Is 150 & Does Not Fluctuate Over Time – Advantage

The plastic Pipe system has a smooth ID that does not corrode or tuberculin with time and retains its flow capabilities. The C Factor of the Ductile Iron pipe decreases considerably with time owing to corrosion and/or tubercular growth.

The Federal Highway Administration utilities PKR 36 Crore per year on pipe corrosion prevention. Is your city or town contributing to these costs? If the response is affirmative, then the HDPE pipe should be specified. It does not corrode or tuberculate, and its long-life cycle lowers your maintenance costs while increasing your billable water.

Conclusion

So, if you’re considering renovating your entire house, or even just a portion of it, you should know that your old Plastic Pipe system is readily recyclable. These plastic pipes and fittings are reused by the manufacturers that create them for similar items, and they give a practical method to dispose of your pipe (should the need ever arise).
