Storage - handling of plastic pipes and fittings
Plastic is a material that reacts sensitively to impact loads or squeezing during low
temperatures. The actual temperature limit depends on the specific material:
PP-R
PVC-C
+ 5
0
C
BEKOFLOW
®
(PB)
- 10
0
C
Below these temperatures, the pipes and fittings need to be specially protected
against mechanical loads from outside.
As a rule, plastic pipes and fittings have to be protected against exterior influences.
Direct exposure to sunlight, impact or external pressure loading must be avoided. The
pipes and fittings should be kept in their original packaging and should not be stored
outdoors. Always ensure observance of the relevant guidelines for transport, storage,
processing, mounting and installation.
