Low Installation Costs
Duratec reduces costs on a typical installation not only for materials bust also for labor and transportation costs when compared to traditional materials. How? Duratec’s lightweight construction and simple assembly procedures which include:
Ease of Handling
Duratec is 75% lighter than the equivalent diameter of copper and SCH 40 Carbon steel.
Quick Removable Connections
Threading is not required. All joints have double o-ring seals and can be quickly assembled or disassembled. Easy on-site modifications and repairs can be made.
Quick Installation
No special training or equipment is required to complete a Duratec System.
Fewer Fittings
Duratec pipe comes in convenient 100 ft. and 300 ft. coils eliminating several joints and the need for threading, or soldering.
Flexible Yet Rigid
Due to its composite structure, Duratec pipe can be easily bent by hand and will maintain its desired shape. This unique feature allows for straight, professional looking installation and eliminates sagging.

Lower Operating Costs
Due to Duratec’s advantages over metal systems, it costs you less time, labor and money to keep a Duratec system in optional condition.
Pressure loss means money loss
Metal systems can lose pressure due to pinhole leaks and leakage at connections, all of which result in increased energy costs. Duratec’s high-quality construction, on the other hand, guarantees consistent pressure for years to come.
Smooth Interior
Less friction means lower pressure drops and higher flow rates. This may allow for smaller pipe sizes to be used.

Extended Life
Duratec is designed not to rust, scale or pit. Once properly selected for the application and correctly installed, Duratec Airline Systems will provide years of maintenance-free service because they are:
Corrosion Resistant
Duratec’s tough outer HDPE layer protects it against corrosion and deterioration and ensures long service life even in the most aggressive manufacturing environments. Its inner HDPE layer is unaffected by inert gases and commonly used compressor oils. Combined with its industrial nickel-plated Duratec fittings, the system provides long-term performance superior to metal piping systems.
Clean
All Duratec pipe is packaged in cardboard boxes preventing contamination before use. The smooth HDKPE inner layer cannot rust, corrode or form loose scale. Clean air remains clean throughout the life of the system.
Safe
Duratec’s unique composite construction means that accidental impact or puncture of the pipe results in a safe ductile mode of failure. Duraec pipe has been third-party tested and certified to stringent OSHA safety requirements for compressed air systems, standards that guarantee safety comes first.
IPEX engineered Duratec pipe and fittings to provide top-notch performance. Rated for long term continuous operating pressures of 200psi at 73°F and 160psi at 140°F, Duratec pipe and fitting assemblies are also capable of sustaining quick burst pressures in excess of 800psi. This built-in safety factor ensures system performance and provides peace of mind for designers and facility managers.
