The authors discuss the use of thermoplastic pipe for combating corrosion in water supply systems. The pipe used was fabricated from low-pressure and high-pressure polyethylene (HPPE and LPPE) and unplasticized polyvinyl chloride PVC-100. The resistance of the plastic pipe to the action of recirculating water was evaluated on the basis of changes in their physicomechanical properties. The results of mechanical tests on the specimens are shown.
