Working with plastic pipes & fitting

Transport and storage of plastic pipes

Plastic are materials sensitive to impact and crushing at low temperatures. The
temperature limit depends on the relevant material.

Material Temperature
PP-R -5C
PVC-C +5C
PB 0C
PE -40C
PE-RT -40C

Below these temperatures pipes and fittings would have to be protected
particularly from impacts, crushing and other external mechanical stresses.

Plastic pipes and plastic fittings must be protected in principle from external
influences. Direct sunlight, impacts and compressive stresses should be
avoided. The pipes and fittings must be left in their packing until used. They
should not be stored outdoors.
