    aquatherm Advantages
    • aquatherm pipe provided labor savings thanks to heat fusion and its lighter weight compared to steel.
    • For some direct-buried sections of the project aquatherm pipe didn’t require insulation, where steel pipe would have.
    • Ownership liked the cleaner nature of PP-R and the reduced risk of theft that aquatherm pipe offer.

The Challenge

With several thousand feet of mostly direct-buried pipe needed, the engineering team sought a pipe system that would hold up to the corrosive condensate.

The Solution

aquatherm blue® was an ideal solution thanks to its corrosion resistance and its light weight compared to steel.

“The installation of aquatherm went very smoothly. I liked working with the product. The learning curve on this product was a very short learning curve. It’s very easy to work with.”

-Pete Ivory, Foreman, Progressive Mechanical, Detroit
