HDPE Pipe Bending Radius Datasheet

Polyethylene pipe’s flexibility makes the pipe easy to handle and install. Not only can small diameter (6” and less) pipes be purchased in coils to reduce joining costs but the tight curvature permitted in polyethylene pipelines reduces the need for fittings. All of the major trenchless installation methods rely on the pipe’s flexibility for avoiding obstacles and handling curvature in the bore path or misalignment in host pipes. Generally, its great flexibility makes polyethylene pipe the preferred pipe for installation.
