Plastic Pipework Installation

By On · Add Comment

pipe Plastic pipework products are a perfect solution for a range of different applications. Whether it be for chilled water or aggressive acids, specialist drainage requirements or even for the safe conveyance of fuel, plastic pipework can easily overcome the problems associated with more traditional pipework materials.

There are many types of plastic used in pipework manufacture but PVC-U and ABS are the most well known. Both allow the safe transportation of many acids, alkalis and chemical concentrates without fear of corrosion and environmental pollution. Plastic pipe is lightweight and is extremely easy to install which can save both time and money on any given project when compared to other, more traditional pipework materials

For hot and highly corrosive fluids a material refered to as ‘Corzan’ can be specified which has the ability to convey hot acids and alkalis under pressure and at elevated temperatures. Linmar is able to advise on and offer pipework installation in any of these materials and for any application for more information please contact us by clicking on the ‘envelope’ icon. at the bottom of this page.

Lightweight

Lightweight

Plastic piping systems are lightweight and easier to handle on-site and therefore plastics can reduce health and safety risks to pipework installers.
Impact Resistant

Impact Resistant

Plastic materials such as ABS are extremely impact resistant and the pipesystem can remain tough & durable when performing even at low temperatures.
Easy Install

Easy Install

Plastic systems do not require any specialist tools or equipment during the installation period, joints can be made easily and quickly, meaning they are often easier to install than traditional pipework materials.
Chemical Resistance

Chemical Resistance

Plastic pipework systems can provide excellent chemical resistance properties which allow the safe transportation of a range of industrial fluids and aggressive chemicals without fear of corrosion and environmental pollution.
Time Saving Installation

Time Saving Installation

The ease of installation properties associated with plastics and the reduced time involved, there are typical cost savings of up to 50% when plasticis compared to steel or copper as alternative materials.
Corrosion Resistant Pipework

Corrosion Resistant Pipework

Plastic pipework systems are completely corrosion resistant meaning less maintenance and material replacement costs as well as less energy costs due to a lack of friction when pumping fluids throughout the piping.
Low Environmental Impact

Low Environmental Impact

The manufacture of plastic pipework systems requires less carbon energy and as they are lighter in weight, they are subsequently easier to transport, meaning that there are definitive reasons why plastic systems have a lower impact on the environment than metal alternatives.
Smooth Bore

Smooth Bore

The smooth inner-bore of plastic pipework ensures that no limescale can build up within the system resulting in less friction loss & guarantees that a consistent flow rate is maintained throughout the life of the pipe system.
