On the reliability of PEX tubing has already been written and said a lot. Frequently assess the reliability or failure rate of tubinglines of various thermoplastic “generally” do not understand the fundamental differences, such as PVC fittings or PEX tubing from polyethylene. In our opinion, based on the fact that over the past 15-20 years, and production grades of polyethylene tubing, and the actual level of equipment, particularly for the molding of large tubing, far ahead, pressure polyethylene tubinglines are by far the most reliable. Of course, that work with new materials requires greater technological disciplines as the production of tubing and accessories, and installation.

In many major cities and regions of USA operated many kilometers of water networks of the traditional slip-joint tubing, at which accidents occur largely because of depressurization of butt joints and fractures of the tubing. Strong welded joints – one of the advantages of high-pressure polyethylene tubing.

In addition, we note that during the two major earthquakes in Japan in 1995 and 2000 were not only damaged tubinglines from PEX tubing.
In Russia, large-diameter polyethylene tubing have been applied a few years ago. Initially they were mainly used in the construction of non-pressurized reservoirs. However, in recent years, large-diameter polyethylene tubing are increasingly and actively used in construction of high-pressure water mains.

tubing of large diameter and long use in their projects by Turkish company Firat. Among the most interesting projects planned by this company in the near future, it should be noted the project on construction of plumbing of fresh water with a diameter of 1600 mm. between the mainland Turkey and Cyprus. The uniqueness of this project is rather that the aqueduct would have to “hang” in the sea water, bending to a greater depth (this depth is chosen specifically to minimize the probability of collision with the pipeline floating).
