Yes, please visit our Resources Page for industry resources such as the Plastic Pipe Institute Handbook of Polyethylene, PolyPipe’s HeatFusion Handbook, Info Briefs, and other useful tools and references.
Please refer to INFO BRIEF 19-11.0POLYETHYLENE PIPE SQUEEZE-OFF for manufacturer recommendations.
All specifications for pipe produced by PolyPipe® can be found in our Technical Data Sheets (TDS)--PolyTough1™ MDPE, POLYPIPE GDB50 GAS HDPE, PolyStout1™ PA12 GAS, and PolyBrute1™ PA12. Additional engineering properties such as design pressure rating, tensile strength, PENT rating, elastic modulus, etc. are denoted within as well.
For guidance please refer to the Plastic PipeInstitute’s Technical Report Polyethylene Piping Distribution Systems for Components of Liquid Petroleum Gases TR-22/2013(plasticpipe.org). Additionally, NFPA 58 Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code should be consulted and review from a Professional Engineer is strongly recommended to ensure compliance with local building codes and requirements.
