Can PE pipe be used as a hot water pipe?

In home decoration or engineering construction, the choice of pipes is crucial, especially hot water pipes, whose performance is directly related to the safety and life of use. Many people will ask: Can PE pipes be used as hot water pipes? As an AD pipe with rich experience in the field of pipes, today I will answer this question in detail for you and discuss the correct selection of hot water pipes.

First of all, it is necessary to make it clear that ordinary PE pipes are not suitable for use as hot water pipes. PE pipes, that is, polyethylene pipes, although they have good flexibility, corrosion resistance and economy, are widely used in water supply, drainage, gas and other fields, but their heat resistance is relatively limited. Generally speaking, the long-term use temperature of ordinary PE pipes should not exceed 40 ° C. If it is used to transport high-temperature hot water (usually the temperature of domestic hot water is above 50 ° C, or even higher), it will lead to the decline of the physical properties of PE pipes, such as reduced strength, prone to creep, easy loosening of pipeline connections and other problems, which not only affect the service life, but also may bring safety hazards.

So, what pipe should be selected for the transportation of hot water in the home or project? The PPR hot water pipe series of AD Pipe is one of the ideal choices. PPR (random copolymer polypropylene) hot water pipes have been specially formulated and processed to have excellent heat resistance and pressure resistance. Its long-term use temperature can reach 70 ° C, and the short-term use temperature can even withstand the high temperature of 95 ° C, which can fully meet the needs of daily hot water transportation.

In addition to excellent heat resistance, the PPR hot water pipe of AD Pipe also has the following advantages: hygienic and environmentally friendly, using food-grade raw materials, no heavy metal stabilizers are added to ensure pure water quality; smooth inner wall, small water flow resistance, not easy to scale; convenient installation, hot melt connection method, high interface strength, good sealing performance, effectively avoid the risk of water leakage; long service life, under normal use conditions, can be safely used for more than 50 years.

When choosing a hot water pipe, in addition to the performance of the pipe itself, it is also necessary to consider the design pressure of the system, the use environment and other factors. As a professional pipe manufacturer, AD Pipe not only provides high-quality PPR hot water pipe products, but also provides users with professional selection suggestions and technical support to ensure the safe and stable operation of the hot water system.

To sum up, PE pipes are not recommended for hot water pipes due to heat resistance limitations. In order to ensure the safety, efficiency and long-term use of hot water systems, it is a more sensible decision to choose professional hot water transportation pipes such as AD Pipe PPR hot water pipes. When renovating or pipeline renovation, it is recommended to consult professionals and choose suitable pipes according to actual needs, so that the hot water supply in life and work is more secure and worry-free.
