PE 100-RC fittings: Safety and reliability for 50 years in water networks

In the context of developing and rehabilitating water distribution networks, choosing the appropriate technical solutions is essential for the durability of the infrastructure and for operational safety. Current requirements regarding long-term strength and efficiency demand the use of high-quality equipment capable of meeting standards and operational challenges.

European regulations on water infrastructure

Sustainable water supply is a key priority in Europe. The European Commission plans to establish, by 2028, a maximum threshold for the rate of water losses. Member States that exceed this threshold will be required to adopt a loss-reduction plan within two years, thereby contributing to increased energy efficiency.

According to official data, Romania loses almost half of the drinking water introduced into public distribution networks. Non-revenue water losses are mainly caused by failures and aging pipeline infrastructure. In this context, the use of high-quality materials reduces the risk of cracks, leaks, or pipeline failures, thereby helping to prevent water losses and ensuring efficient and safe distribution to consumers.

Homplex’s expertise and commitment in water network infrastructure

Homplex has demonstrated over the years that operational safety is a priority, being a trusted partner in projects across the country. The company provides a wide range of solutions, placing strong emphasis on the quality of materials and equipment.

In water distribution systems, fittings are key components, and their quality directly influences the performance and lifespan of the networks.

Through the distribution of AGRU products, Homplex brings high-quality equipment to the Romanian market, tailored to the requirements of modern water infrastructure. In addition, this equipment is approved by the National Institute of Public Health (INSP) following rigorous technical checks, guaranteeing its safe use in drinking water networks.

Attentive to market needs and the evolution of infrastructure, we offer our partners equipment that supports the sustainable development of water supply networks. To date, Homplex has integrated more than 500.000 fittings into projects carried out across the country. This highlights our solid experience and the high level of trust placed in the solutions we provide.

PE 100-RC technology: Remarkable resistance for durable projects

To increase the service life of water supply systems, PE 100-RC fittings can be used (RC stands for “Resistant to Cracking”), manufactured from a material valued for its multiple technical advantages. Among the advantages directly provided by this material are:

  • Extended service life

The use of AGRU PE 100-RC fittings guarantees a system service life of up to 50 years. Thus, investing in high-quality fittings helps reduce long-term maintenance costs.

  • Protection against contamination

High resistance to point loads and slow cracking reduces the risk of leaks or infiltrations, helping to maintain water purity throughout the distribution network.

  • Installation efficiency

Fittings can be installed without a sand bed, allowing for reduced costs and installation time without compromising joint safety.

  • Crack resistance 10 times higher

PE 100-RC fittings offer up to 10 times higher crack resistance compared to standard fittings, eliminating the risk of damage and water losses.

Homplex continues to raise the standards of operational safety, providing reliable solutions and high-performance equipment for modern water infrastructure.
