Plastic Pipe and Fittings

Plastic Pipe and Fittings form complete piping systems for different pressure applications. ERIKS combines pipes, fittings and valves in materials including ABS, HDPE, PP-H, PVC-U, PVC-C, PVDF and PP-R.

A plastic piping system transports liquids, gases or compressed air through compatible system components. Low weight simplifies handling and transport. Plastic is unaffected by corrosion and has a smooth internal surface. Material selection and joining method determine where and how the system can be used.

The materials support low-temperature systems, chemical media, HVAC, chilled water, compressed air, water treatment, marine applications, cooling and chemical processes. PP-RCT has a maximum permissible temperature of 90 °C. HDPE is used in applications including water treatment and the chemical-process industry.

Select the material according to the medium, pressure, temperature and chemical resistance. Then determine pipe diameter, SDR class, expansion, insulation thickness and joining method. ERIKS supports projects with calculations, processing advice, training, welding equipment, prefabrication and logistics arrangements such as partial deliveries.

Key attributes are material, medium, pressure, temperature, diameter, SDR class, expansion, insulation thickness, joining method and project processing.

Frequently asked questions

Select PP-RCT pipe and fittings for applications such as HVAC, chilled water, compressed air and marine water systems. Check temperature, SDR class and expansion. The maximum permissible temperature is 90 °C.

HDPE pipe and fittings are used in water treatment, marine applications, cooling and the chemical-process industry. Match SDR 11 or SDR 17 to the pressure duty and select an appropriate welding or processing method.

ERIKS can calculate pipe diameter, insulation thickness and expansion. PP-RCT support also includes condensation calculations and support-spacing advice. These calculations align material and dimensions with the system parameters.

The range includes ABS, HDPE or PE, PP-H, PVC-U, PVC-C, PVDF and PP-R. Each material has a specific field of use, including low temperatures, chemicals, higher temperatures, critical installations, HVAC and compressed air.
