LDPE pipe as it is commonly called, has a maximum pressure rating of 300kpa. Low Density pipes are commonly used for a variety of farming/irrigation applications, including water reticulation. It is important to use good quality fittings to ensure a tight fit to prevent any ruptures or leaks. Securing the tight fit of the barbed fittings with a ratchet clamp is advisable. The fittings and the pipe are a cost effective solution that last the test of time, but don’t break the bank leaving options to move/or rid of the system after a seasonal crop if desired. Low density pipes are 100% recyclable too after a good clean and wash .
