I just came across a piping spec which list HDPE pipe (PE3608) as the piping material. I checked B31.4 code and did not find any reference to non metals piping materials.

Does B31.4 allows use of HDPE piping?

Thanks,

Corgas

You're right. It does not appear to be allowed; consistant with the fact that I have never seen any used under B31.4 anywhere.
