Industries & applications
Composite pipe for water systems.
Materials matched to water quality, temperature and local requirements.
Application overview
Water & buildings
Water quality, temperature and connections guide the choice of composite pipe for water and hot-water systems. Materials must also meet local requirements.
Material selection
How the materials work
The exposed material is selected for the water quality and temperature. Drinking-water use also requires the appropriate hygiene checks and local approvals.
