KiTEC - Most versatile Pipe For Plumbing KiTEC pipe for cold and hot water plumbing KiTEC composite pipes are designed for 10 bar pressure at 60 degree C. Temperature. For hot water application, kiTEC pipes are used up to 80 degree C. temperature when the pressure is up to 4 bar. Maximum allowable short term increase in temperature is 95 degree C. Advantages for Homeowners Corrosion Free KiTEC's inner and outer layers consist of either linear polyethylene (PE). KiTEC is having, perhaps, the best chemical and corrosion resistance of any plastic used in the manufacture of plumbing pipes. The polyolefin family of plastics - PE included - is renowned for it's toughness, long service life and resistance to deterioration in the most extreme environments. On the other hand, when metal or copper pipes are exposed to aggressive soil and water conditions, they are susceptible to corrosion and pitting. KiTEC's inner and outer layer of plastic is unaffected by corrosive soil or aggressive water. That's why you'll see KiTEC being used to re-pipe homes where metal pipes have failed prematurely. Clean and Safe Your entire KiTEC plumbing system is designed to provide you with the cleanest drinking water possible. KiTEC's clean, non-corroding plastic interior is resistant to deterioration in aggressive water conditions. You needn't worry about odor, color or taste problems arising because of the plumbing pipes in your home. And given KiTEC's built in permeation barrier, you have built in peace of mind that your buried water pipes will not be permeated by ground source contaminants. Quiet Today's demanding homeowners insist on quieter, more efficient plumbing systems. Noise often associated with water hammer - that banging in the pipes behind the walls - is a distant memory. That's because KiTEC offers the strength of metal pipes without all the noise. KiTEC's unique composite construction reduces water hammer pressure and the plastic layers reduce the noise. With KiTEC plumbing systems you'll have no more shaking or rattling of metal pipes. It all adds up to a quieter home Better Flow: KiTEC's smooth inner plastic wall permanently resists scaling and mineral build-up, keeping water flow constant year after year. Unlike metal pipes, you won't see a reduction in flow area with KiTEC. That means homeowners can enjoy a constant water pressure throughout the house, throughout the years. Advantages for Builders and Plumbing Agencies Easy to Install Less physical exertion: No more sweating joints every few feet. KiTEC's convenient, lightweight coils allow you to install a professional plumbing system quickly and efficiently. Installation crews are less fatigued and larger coils mean less wastage. Quick to join: Need to make a bend? Go ahead. Need to snake pipe around an obstruction? There's nothing stopping you. When the system calls for a fitting, you simply cut, bevel the pipe, connect with the end of the fitting and tighten the nut for secure, long-term connections. It's really that fast and simple. You need just 25% of the time as compared to conventional GI pipes for completing the jointing and installation. Go anywhere with KiTEC: KiTEC can be installed in walls and ceilings or surface mounted. It can be supported horizontally or vertically on 8 foot centers because its stiffness and expansion rate is similar to copper's. KiTEC can be encased in concrete or buried underground without additional protection because its tough outer plastic layer resists chemicals and corrosive activity. KiTEC's aluminum core provides a 100% permeation barrier against ground source contaminants like fertilizer and pesticide. Fewer Fittings: KiTEC uses fewer fittings - almost one fourth the fittings used in conventional system. Fewer fitting joints means less chance of leakage and less liability. It's not only designed for better long term flow rates, the inner plastic layer is noncorroding and won't pit, pinhole, or erode in aggressive water conditions. KiTEC is designed to provide years of trouble free performance in the toughest of conditions. Other pipes just don't compare. Widely Used Today, 8 of the top 11 homebuilders in the United States are using KiTEC on new housing developments.
