Can PE pipe be used as a hot water pipe?

Ordinary PE pipes are not suitable for hot water pipes. Ordinary PE pipes can usually only withstand temperatures around 60 ° C. Once the water temperature exceeds this range, its molecular structure stability will be affected. The continuous high temperature of hot water will gradually soften ordinary PE pipes, resulting in pipe deformation, such as pipe diameter shrinkage, local bulging, etc., which in turn affects the normal use of pipes. Moreover, high temperatures will also accelerate the aging of ordinary PE pipes, causing their strength and toughness to decrease. Long-term use may cause problems such as rupture and leakage, which will not only cause water waste, but also may pose hidden dangers to housing facilities and living safety. For example, in some small projects that try to use ordinary PE pipes to transport hot water, due to insufficient consideration of its high temperature resistance limitations, the pipeline deformation and leakage occurred in a short time, and finally had to replace the pipe, which increased the cost and construction difficulty.

different from ordinary PE pipes, heat-resistant polyethylene (PE-RT) pipes can be used for hot water transportation. PE-RT pipes are specially modified polyethylene pipes, which can withstand higher temperatures and have excellent thermal stability. PE-RT pipes can be used safely in the temperature range of -40 ° C - 95 ° C. In the common hot water supply temperature range, they can maintain good physical properties, such as excellent flexibility, high strength and creep resistance. This makes the PE-RT pipe not easy to deform and age during the hot water transportation process, and can operate stably for a long time. Because of this, PE-RT pipe is often used as PE floor heating pipe. In the home floor heating system, it can stably transport high-temperature hot water, evenly distribute heat to the room, and create a comfortable and warm living environment for people.
