Aluminum-Plastic Pipe FAQs
Q: What makes aluminum-plastic pipe better than traditional metal pipes?
A: Aluminum-plastic pipe combines the strength of metal with the corrosion resistance of plastic. Unlike metal pipes, they don't corrode, scale or leach metals into water. The aluminum layer provides excellent oxygen barrier properties while the plastic layers prevent electrolytic corrosion. They're also more flexible than rigid metal pipes, allowing for easier installation with fewer fittings.
Q: How long does aluminum-plastic pipe typically last?
A: Our aluminum-plastic pipes have an expected service life of 50+ years when installed properly. The material is resistant to scale buildup, corrosion and UV degradation (for above-ground installations). The exceptional chemical resistance ensures long-term performance even with aggressive water conditions.
Q: Can aluminum-plastic pipe be used for both hot and cold water distribution?
A: Yes, aluminum-plastic pipe is rated for continuous operation with water temperatures from -40°C to +95°C, making it ideal for both hot and cold water systems. The pipes maintain excellent thermal stability and dimensional stability across this entire temperature range without compromising performance.
