Re: Rising Main Water Pressure |
| message from Hepworth Plumbing Products Team on 12 May 2004 |
Hep2O is perfectly suitable in this mains cold water application even
at pressures in excess of 9 bar. Hep2O is rated at 12 bar at 20 deg C,
however there is a factor of safety built in to the pressure rating of
1.5 times, i.e. 18 bar, which is also the recommended test pressure
for Hep2O systems.
Mains water service pipes to modern properties (and any refurbishments
that take place) are invariable in blue MDPE pipe which is normally
also rated at 12 bar.
