Why Elevate RT™
Elevated-Temperature Performance
Designed for continuous elevated-temperature service up to 180°F, subject to application-specific pressure requirements.
Fused Polyethylene System
Heat-fusion joining provides a continuous polyethylene piping system without relying on traditional gasketed joints.
Corrosion Resistant
Resists corrosion and helps reduce maintenance in compatible water and process piping applications.
Product Range
2"–42" IPS
Available across multiple DRs to support application-specific pressure and temperature requirements.

Maximum operating pressures in psig. **For long-term design (50 yr.+), 140°F is considered the maximum continuous-use temperature for general PE4710 design; Pipeline Elevate-RT has a D2837-substantiated 180°F HDB which supports continuous operation to 180°F. There are many considerations required in the course of a piping system design, and this recommendation should not be construed as approval of any specific design. See TechNote 210 for full design guidance.
Technical Resources
*Maximum operating pressure varies by temperature, DR, fluid service, and system design. Refer to the Pipeline Elevate-RT™ Product Data Sheet and TechNote 210 for applicable pressure ratings and design guidance.
