High Density Polyethylene Pipe (HDPE)
ADCO Pipe & Supply offers an extensive inventory of N-12 HDPE dual wall pipe.
N-12 pipe, with its smooth interior wall and corrugated exterior wall, provides excellent hydraulics and structural strength. N-12 corrugated pipe utilizes application-specific HDPE, so it also provides superior corrosion and abrasion resistance. It provides an excellent alternative to reinforced concrete and corrugated metal pipe.
The superior performance of N-12 drainage pipe has led to its approval and acceptance in storm water applications throughout the nation.
ADCO Pipe & Supply offers an extensive inventory of HDPE pipe and fittings so you can get your project done on time and within budget. Don’t forget our large selection on HDPE Fittings as well.
The market for pipes made of HDPE is booming these days. Therefore, we offer an extensive inventory of N-12 HDPE dual wall pipe for a variety of purposes to fit your needs. N-12 pipe, with its smooth interior wall and corrugated exterior wall, provides excellent hydraulics and structural strength. These pipes utilize application-specific HDPE, so they also provide superior corrosion and abrasion resistance as well as an excellent alternative to reinforced concrete and corrugated metal pipe.
What is High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)?
HDPE is a natural gas-derived thermoplastic known for its high tensile strength, corrosion resistance, and impact resistance. These attributes make HDPE material an ideal choice for piping in a wide range of applications, including pressure and non-pressure pipe, conduit, and drainage.
What is HDPE pipe used for?
ADCO provides HDPE pipes for potable water systems, mining operations, oil and gas collection, wastewater removal, protecting fiber optic cables, natural gas distribution, and more. The superior performance of N-12 drainage pipe has led to its approval and acceptance in multiple commercial, residential, and agricultural water applications throughout the nation.
Why should you choose HDPE for your pipe project?
HDPE pipes are durable and resistant to physical damage, corrosion, common chemicals, and other environmental hazards that can damage other pipe materials. HDPE pipe is also resistant to temperature changes, rain and wind, load changes, and expanding or contracting soils. HDPE pipes won’t break when water freezes in the lines and can withstand shock waves more than other pipe materials on the market. That makes these pipes well-suited for more rugged terrain and changing environments. In addition, HDPE pipes offer a cost-effective choice for long-term piping needs.
How long does HDPE pipe usually last?
The typical benchmark for the longevity of HDPE piping is approximately 50 years. However, technical white papers written by the Plastics Industry Pipe Association attest that HDPE pipe systems can reasonably be expected to last up to 100 years or more, depending on the specific use and environment.
How sustainable is HDPE pipe?
HDPE is much lighter than traditionally heavier materials used in pipe construction, therefore it’s less expensive to transport. That translates to savings on gas and energy usage for you. HDPE also has a small carbon footprint and is recyclable. Recycling metal pipes typically requires large amounts of energy, so HDPE material is much less challenging to recycle by comparison. In fact, it’s one of the easiest types of plastics to recycle. Plus, the durability and leak resistance of HDPE pipes aid in preventing harm to the environment as well as any resulting financial consequences for handlers of chemicals and potentially hazardous materials.
