Pre-insulated HDPE pipes - are they a better choice !
(OP)
Dear Friends,
Please share your experience if you have ever used pre insulated high density polyethylene pipes for chilled or hot water systems. Are they a better choice over conventional black steel pipe in terms of cost, installation and being more energy efficient. Thanks

if you install them in the building you may need more hangers etc. It probably depends if they are more or less costly overall. Again, you won't have joints, which always is good. they also are hung more flexibly, so you don't have to worry about expansion loops.

What you sent is ABS, not HDPE pipe, and in brief googling it looks like their max. temp is 60 degrees C, but, as said, it needs to be checked.
