Polyethylene pipes are intended for conveying pressurized drinking water, with a maximum nominal pressure of 10 bar (design factor C=1.25, fluid temperature 20\u00b0C). They are installed buried in the ground, using the conventional method, in an open trench with sand bedding.
The pipes are mechanically joined using VALWater compression fittings. Given the wall thickness, the pipes cannot be installed with electrofittings or butt fusion welding. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
black pipe, extruded from high-density polyethylene compound type PE100. The PE100 compound is a homogeneous blend of polyethylene, antioxidants, pigments, and UV radiation stabilizers. Reference standard: STF13 Valrom Industrie Company Technical Standard. Pipe diameters are standardized and their wall thicknesses comply with STF13. Use: WaterKIT STF13 pipes are used to build drinking water supply networks installed buried in the ground. Important: Cuts or scratches deeper than 10% of the wall thickness are sufficient to consider the pipe unusable and prohibit its use in pressurized applications. Joining STF13 pipes: the pipes are mechanically joined using WaterKIT compression fittings. Given the wall thickness, the pipes are not intended for fusion joining or butt welding. A 50-year service life corresponds to an operating temperature of 20\u00b0C and a working pressure equal to or lower than the PN for which the pipe was manufactured. Approvals: Technical approval and certification for use in construction. Sanitary approval for use with drinking water. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":98993,"template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"wds_primary_product_brand":0,"wds_primary_product_cat":0},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[8170],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-129597","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-tevi-pehd-apa","8":"first","9":"instock","10":"shipping-taxable","11":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"\n
