Frequently Asked Questions

What is MDPE?

MDPE (medium density polyethylene) is a light, flexible and durable material, ideal for carrying water (including potable water) and a variety of chemicals. They can be installed above or below ground as they are not susceptible to corrosion. It is less dense than HDPE and can handle any kind of shock.

What are saddle clamps?

Saddle clamps add more branch lines to the existing piping system in temporary or permanent installations. They can easily fasten to building walls, pillars and floors and have an extended band to protect the hose from damage caused by extrusion.

How do restrained joints work?

Restrained joints have a mechanism that grips or locks the joint together to prevent axial movement and separation of lines.
