Excellent flexibility allows routing around obstacles and ground movement.

Long coil lengths (up to 100m+) reduce joints and potential leak points.

UV-stabilized grades resist degradation from intense Gulf sunlight.

Chemical resistance suits fertigation and treated wastewater irrigation.

PE100 has higher MRS (Minimum Required Strength) = 10 MPa vs 8 MPa for PE80.

PE100 allows thinner walls at same pressure rating = material savings.

PE80 is adequate for low-pressure drip irrigation systems.

PE100 recommended for main distribution lines and higher-pressure applications.

PN6 (SDR 26): Low-pressure drip irrigation laterals.

PN10 (SDR 17): Main supply lines, pump discharge.

PN16 (SDR 11): High-pressure trunk lines, long-distance transmission.

Factor in elevation changes and friction losses when selecting pressure class.

Butt fusion: Most common for large diameters (90mm+). Requires trained operators.

Electrofusion: Ideal for repairs and tie-ins. Uses electrofusion couplers.

Compression fittings: Quick installation for smaller diameters (<63mm). No special equipment.

All fusion joints must be performed by certified technicians per ISO 21307.

Install pipes in cooler hours to avoid excessive thermal expansion.

Allow for snaking in trenches to accommodate expansion/contraction.

Use sand bedding to protect pipes from sharp rocks.

UV exposure: bury pipes or use UV-stabilized grades for above-ground sections.
