HDPE / PP Pipe — German-Brand PE100 Polyethylene for Water, Gas, Irrigation & Drainage
Hitze HDPE / PE (high-density polyethylene) pipe is engineered for the toughest infrastructure lines — corrosion-free, scale-free, and rated for a design life of around 50 years.
Produced in PE100 and PE80 grades, joined by butt-fusion or electrofusion into homogeneous, seal-free joints, with wall thickness spanning roughly 2.3mm to 10mm. Manufactured to the PE pressure-pipe standards (EN 12201 / ISO 4427 for water, ISO 4437 / EN 1555 for gas) and built by a German brand under the SKZ / DIN 8077-8078 / EN ISO 15874 standards regime; product certifications available on request.
Trade / bulk supply only — Hitze does not sell single lengths at retail.

The PE100 System
PE100 / PE80 Polyethylene — Corrosion-Free for a 50-Year Service Life
The performance of an HDPE line starts with the resin. Hitze pipe is produced from the same PE material families specified for municipal water and gas networks worldwide.
Hitze pipe is produced from PE100 and PE80 high-density polyethylene — the same material families specified for municipal water and gas networks worldwide. Polyethylene does not corrode, does not scale, and resists the environmental stress cracking that shortens the life of lesser pipe, which is why a properly specified PE100 line carries a design life of around 50 years. It is chemically inert for potable water, flexible enough to coil in smaller diameters (fewer joints, faster laying), and tough enough for buried pressure service. One material solves what steel, ductile iron and PVC each solve only in part — no rust, no scale, no rigid-joint failure points.
Corrosion-Free
Polyethylene does not rust or scale — no tuberculation, no bore loss over decades of buried service.
~50-Year Design Life
A properly specified PE100 line resists environmental stress cracking for a long buried service life.
Inert for Potable Water
Chemically inert PE100 carries drinking water with no rust, no scale and no taste transfer.
Flexible & Coilable
Smaller diameters coil for fast, low-joint laying — fewer connections in the ground to fail.
Sizes & Wall Thickness
Full Size Range — Coils and Straight Lengths, Wall Thickness ~2.3–10mm
Hitze supplies HDPE pipe across a broad size range to match pressure class and flow — so your engineers can size the line before you order and your buyers can quote against exact dimensions.
Wall thickness spans roughly 2.3mm to 10mm depending on diameter and SDR (standard dimension ratio) — the higher the pressure class, the thicker the wall for a given diameter. Smaller diameters ship in coils for fast, low-joint laying on irrigation and service lines; larger diameters ship in straight lengths for water and gas mains. SDR / pressure class is matched to your application, and the complete size, wall-thickness and SDR table is provided in the HDPE Spec Pack.
| Format | Typical use | Wall thickness | Jointing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coils (smaller OD) | Irrigation, service connections | ~2.3mm and up | Butt-fusion / electrofusion |
| Straight lengths (larger OD) | Water & gas mains | up to ~10mm | Butt-fusion / electrofusion |
SDR / pressure class matched to application. Full OD × wall × SDR table in the HDPE Spec Pack.

Applications
One PE System for Potable Water, Gas, Irrigation & Drainage
Because polyethylene is inert, flexible and corrosion-free, a single Hitze PE material family covers four service lines — simpler stock, simpler quoting, one brand on the invoice.
For potable water, PE100 pipe carries clean water with no rust, no scale and no taste transfer — chemically inert for drinking-water networks. For gas, PE100 / PE80 pipe is the standard for buried gas distribution, fused into leak-tight, seal-free joints. For irrigation, coilable HDPE lays fast across agricultural and landscape networks and shrugs off UV and soil chemistry. For drainage and non-pressure conveyance, PE pipe resists the aggressive effluents that corrode metal and crack rigid pipe. For a wholesaler or importer, that means one certified PE product family covers the bulk of buried wet services.
| Application | Grade | Why PE |
|---|---|---|
| Potable water | PE100 | Inert, no corrosion/scale, no taste transfer |
| Gas distribution | PE100 / PE80 | Buried-gas standard, leak-tight fused joints |
| Irrigation | HDPE | Coilable, UV & soil-chemistry resistant, fast laying |
| Drainage | PE / HDPE | Chemically resistant to aggressive effluents |

Jointing
Homogeneous Fused Joints — Butt-Fusion & Electrofusion, No Seals to Fail
HDPE is joined by heat fusion, not by seals or mechanical rings — which is exactly why it is trusted for buried water and gas mains.
In butt-fusion, the two pipe ends are heated on a plate and pressed together so the polymer melts into one continuous mass; the joint is homogeneous with the pipe wall itself, as strong as the pipe. In electrofusion, an electrofusion coupler with an internal heating coil is slid over the joint and energised, welding the fitting to the pipe — ideal for tie-ins, repairs and tight spaces. Neither method leaves a rubber seal, gasket or compression ring in the ground to relax, harden or leak over a 50-year life. For lines that will be buried and paved over, a fused PE joint is the lowest-risk connection you can specify.
| Method | Best for | Joint |
|---|---|---|
| Butt-fusion | Straight runs, larger mains | Homogeneous, full-bore, seal-free |
| Electrofusion | Tie-ins, repairs, tight spaces | Coupler-welded, seal-free |
