Rural Plus® polyethylene pipes are easy to install with their light weight and long lengths. Buried pipes can be installed in a trench or using “ploughing in” techniques.
The inherent flexibility of polyethylene allows Rural Plus® polyethylene pipe to be laid to follow natural earth contours or bend around obstacles. The pipe will also withstand normal earth movement.
The high impact strength of Rural Plus® polyethylene pipes ensures resistance to the rigors of pipe laying conditions.
Rural Plus® polyethylene pipes maintain a smooth internal bore over the working lifetime of the pipeline. The surface energy characteristics of polyethylene inhibit the build-up of deposits on the internal pipe surfaces, thereby retaining the maximum bore dimensions and flow capacities.
Rural Plus® polyethylene pipes are stabilised against ultra violet (UV) light degradation by the inclusion of carbon black in the material and are suitable for above ground installations where the pipes are exposed to direct sunlight.
