The basic advantage of plastic designs — small weight at enough high prochnostnyh characteristics. Besides, they are simple and convenient in installation. Unlike metal, plastic arts not korroziruet, and its smooth surface allows to use pipes of smaller section, keeping their throughput. Plastic has lower heat conductivity. On plastic walls adjournment don’t accumulate.
However this material has also lacks: rather high factor of thermal expansion and fast aging under the influence of direct sun rays.
Durability of steel pipes considerably above, than polymeric, but they are recommended for open distributings. For the latent distributings in premises polymeric pipes more approach. Single-layered (polyethylene and polipropilenovye) products have predicted term of operation. Multilayered at temperature drops test internal pressure between layers. Quality of such products directly depends on the manufacturer.
Choosing pipes, check up the sanitary-and-epidemiologic conclusion and the conformity certificate. One of criteria of quality — instructions in the certificate that it is given out on a batch production, instead of on once delivered party.
Specify at the seller the maximum admissible temperature of the heat-carrier and compare it with available plans of house heating. Settlement pressure of a pipe — one more criterion of a choice. Diameter of a pipe choose so that to provide easy connection of a radiator with a copper. They define value of this indicator. To calculate and design heating system under force only to skilled masters.
Plastic pipes are convenient that they are easy for cutting. One of ways of connection – compression.
