- Title
Design Considerations For Underground Hot Water Piping.
- Authors
PETERSON, KENT W.
- Abstract
It is important to understand available pipe materials when direct-burying pipe underground. Pre-insulated crosslinked polyethylene-based pipe (PEX) has gained acceptance as a cost-effective alternative to ferrous pipe in direct-bury applications for certain heating hot water systems. These systems can also be used on cooling systems but there are many other non-ferrous cost-effective solutions as discussed in a previous column. While steel pipe can deliver unmatched temperature and pressure service levels, properly designed PEX pipe can deliver corrosion-free and leak-free operation.
