Compared to many other materials, polyethylene pipe and fittings are lightweight and easy to handle. They have good elasticity, flexibility and impact resistance.
However, PE pipes and fittings may be scratched by sharp edges and may deform under load, especially at higher temperatures and pressures.
Therefore, in general, PE pipes and fittings should not be blocked, dented, crushed or compacted, and should not be subjected to rough handling during loading and unloading operations.
