How to install PE water supply pipes? Common knowledge about the installation of PE water supply pipes.

When it comes to PE pipes, everyone may be somewhat unfamiliar. PE pipes are a new type of pipe material developed through research, characterized by strong toughness, high corrosion resistance, lightweight, and good impact resistance. Due to their strong practicality and relatively low construction costs, they have been rapidly developed for use in modern engineering. Although construction technology continues to mature and construction units are constantly improving, the relatively short usage period of PE pipes means that mistakes in material selection during construction can lead to quality issues due to insufficient understanding of the materials. Therefore, it is essential to thoroughly understand the materials before construction. Regarding how to construct PE water supply pipes, the basic knowledge of PE water supply pipe construction includes transportation, inspection, and connection, all of which are important steps. Additionally, it is necessary to know the applicable ranges of PE water supply pipes, which mainly include the following:

1. Urban water supply: PE pipes have comprehensive advantages such as hygiene and ease of construction, making them an ideal pipe material for urban water supply.
2. Natural gas and gas transportation: Due to the reliable connections, stable performance, ease of construction, and corrosion resistance of PE pipes, they have become a great choice for medium and low-pressure natural gas transportation pipelines.
3. Replacement of cement pipes, cast iron pipes, and steel pipes: For the replacement of existing cement pipes, cast iron pipes, etc., in cities, PE pipes can be directly inserted into the old pipes for replacement without large-scale excavation, resulting in lower project costs and shorter construction time, making it particularly suitable for pipeline replacement in old urban areas.
4. Municipal non-excavation projects: Currently, with urban development, non-excavation technology is widely used in various constructions. In non-excavation projects, PE pipes are commonly used for jacking (pulling pipes, traction pipes) due to their toughness and price advantages, which will lead to further development in the non-excavation field.
5. Sewage treatment: Currently, many sewage treatment plants use PE pipes in addition to cement pipes and HDPE double-wall corrugated pipes during construction. In actual construction, PE pipes have superior flow capacity compared to other pipe materials, and their convenience is particularly prominent in complex environments such as bends and crossings.
6. Electrical wiring: Due to the superior resistance and insulation properties of PE pipes, along with their good compressive strength and tensile strength, they are frequently used in many electrical wiring constructions.
