Peštan PEHD pipes for cable protection and installation are made of PE-RT or PE 100 polyethylene.
The ring stiffness of the pipes is very high and, depending on the diameter and pipe type, can exceed 50 kN/m2, allowing installation in areas with increased soil load — in accordance with static calculations. (Expected service life: over 50 years at 70°C.)
These pipes are characterized by long-term thermal stability and durability.(Expected service life: over 50 years at 70°C.)
PEHD protective and installation pipes are UV-stabilized.
They are electrical insulators and do not contribute to flame propagation (normal flammability, class B2 according to DIN 4102-1).
The safety factor of PEHD pipes is 1.25, and the minimum bending radius is 20d. PEHD pipes have high abrasion resistance. The linear expansion coefficient for polyethylene is 1,8×10-4K-1 (0,18 mm/m °K).

Installation of Polyethylene Pipes
Peštan PE-RT pipes can be connected in several ways, depending on the application and pipe diameter:
– Butt welding
– Electrofusion welding
– Compression fittings (up to diameter 125 mm)
– Connection sleeves and flanges
Butt welding and electrofusion welding are performed in accordance with DVS 2207-1 standard.
