FAQ's

What is the difference between Lateral pipe, LDPE and MDPE pipe?

Lateral pipe simply refers to the pipes which consumers would use in their gardens or backyards as the "final piping" for your irrigation system. LDPE and MDPE on the other hand are specific types of material, determined by their density, thus the names Low Density Polyethylene and Medium Density Polyethylene.

For most backyard and residential applications, a Lateral pipe will suffice. However, for systems with drip or many sprinklers, then LDPE may be required. For more commercial applications MDPE or even HDPE may be required.

What pressure can lateral pipe, LDPE pipe and MDPE pipe handle?

Lateral pipe tends to also be a type of LDPE pipe, but this can differ from different suppliers, so it is important to check with the manufacturer.

LDPE pipes have a standardised pressure rating of 2.5 to 5 bar, and MDPE pipes have a standardised pressure rating of 6 to 10 bar.
