compression fitting / straight / polyethylene / thermoplastic

Polyethylene (PE) is a thermoplastic that belongs to the group of polyolefines. Partially crystalline, it is an environmentally compatible product.
In comparison to other thermoplastics, PE shows essential advantages which make it specially suitable for water and gas distribution applications, but can also be used in irrigation systems, industrial facilities or in building installations.
Also described as third generation polyethylene types (or MRS 10), offers higher density and therefore improved mechanical properties to previous developments (PE 80 / PE63).
The employed PE-material complies with the requirements of EN 12201 (plastic pipe systems for drinking water supply) and EN 1555 (plastic pipe systems for gas supply).
