For small-scale irrigation projects, black PE4710 HDPE pipe stands out as the best option for above-ground systems. Its resilience to UV degradation means it can be left exposed to the elements without deteriorating, unlike flexible PVC hosing. Additionally, HDPE offers superior abrasion resistance, making it perfect for installation in rough terrains where rocks, brush, or environmental wear might damage other pipe materials.
With its robust design, this type of HDPE pipe can be easily connected to irrigation sprinkler systems or drag lines, ensuring reliable, long-term service for agricultural applications and landscaping projects alike.
For both new construction and rehabilitation of golf course irrigation systems, PE4710 HDPE pipe is the material of choice. Unlike PVC and metallic pipes, HDPE is immune to freeze-thaw cycles and ground movement caused by changes in soil moisture. These traditional pipe materials often fail due to cyclic fatigue and water hammer, which can significantly reduce system efficiency.
HDPE’s butt-fused joints provide a zero-leakage seal, avoiding issues like bell and spigot joint separation. Its flexibility also ensures it can withstand the pressures of irrigation surge cycles without breaking. Additionally, modern installation techniques such as horizontal directional drilling reduce downtime during renovations and allow for more efficient retrofitting of existing systems.
For large-scale irrigation projects, PE4710 HDPE pipe is the ideal material for the enclosure of open canals or the conveyance of significant water volumes. Butt-fused joints create leak-free connections, eliminating water loss due to seepage or evaporation, which can boost water delivery efficiency by over 35%.
HDPE pipe’s corrosion resistance and strength also enable it to be buried directly in native soils, saving on costly backfill materials. With diameters up to 54 inches, WL Plastics can supply the right HDPE pipe for your most ambitious water-moving projects, whether for agricultural irrigation or large-scale water distribution systems.
In water well applications, PE4710 HDPE pipe is the go-to material. Long coils of up to 2,000 feet in length enable continuous, uninterrupted pipe runs, eliminating the need for multiple joints that could cause leaks or corrosion. This flexibility is especially beneficial for well pump replacements, as no specialized equipment is required to retrieve the pipe, reducing downtime and costs. The pump can be connected with fused transition fittings, typically stainless steel, making the entire water delivery system leak-free and incredibly efficient.
The HDPE pipe can also be used to carry water directly from the well to a home or structure, eliminating traditional joint-based materials such as PVC or galvanized steel, which can suffer from leaks and rust over time. By using continuous strings of HDPE pipe, well systems maintain a longer lifespan and more efficient operation, minimizing pump failures due to stuck joints.
HDPE pipe is ideal for water well irrigation systems due to its ability to be supplied in long coils of up to 2,000 feet, which allows for smooth, uninterrupted flow of water from the well to the irrigation system. This continuous pipe run eliminates the issues associated with joints that can develop leaks or degrade over time. In addition, fused connections ensure that there are no potential points for failure.
Whether in freezing conditions, fluctuating temperatures, or areas prone to ground movement, HDPE pipe will not crack or break under stress. This makes it an excellent choice for water well systems, where external factors such as ground freeze or soil settlement can otherwise cause damage to more rigid piping materials.
With its corrosion-resistant properties, HDPE pipe ensures that your well irrigation system stays operational for decades with minimal upkeep. Unlike galvanized steel or other materials that can corrode and require frequent maintenance or replacement, HDPE pipe offers a long-term solution with minimal intervention, keeping your water delivery systems operating efficiently for years to come.
The flexibility of HDPE pipe allows it to adapt to various well configurations and installation environments. Its ability to be installed without the need for specialized equipment reduces installation costs, and its long lifespan cuts down on the need for costly replacements and repairs.
WL Plastics provides the most reliable and durable HDPE piping solutions for irrigation and water well systems. Whether you're working on a small-scale agricultural project, a golf course renovation, or a large-scale water conveyance system, our PE4710 HDPE pipe offers unparalleled performance, flexibility, and longevity. Say goodbye to leaks, corrosion, and maintenance headaches, and trust WL Plastics for all your irrigation needs.
