PE-RT Pipes

Q1. Will PE-RT pipes impart odour and taste to water when used in hot water systems?
No, it doesn’t. PE-RT pipe material is food grade material (FDA approved) and is meant for hot/cold drinking water distribution.
 
Q2. Do we need to insulate PE-RT to prevent heat loss?
If short lengths are used (up to 5m), no insulation is required.
 
Q3. Can PE-RT pipes and Hansen fittings be connect to the heat source directly?
It is recommended that copper pipe be used for the first meter from the heat source.
 
Q4. In the case of malfunction of the temperature cut off sensor in the heater, what is the maximum temperature tested for PE-RT pipes and Hansen fittings?
We have tested the system at 95°C for 1,000 hours.
