    Harold Please, I have nothing but the highest respect and admiration for you BUT you said “high speed”

    If we are talking YOUR field of hydronics Yes velocity over 2-3 FPS @ 180+ degree F will cause premature piping failures

    Under normal conditions water flowing through coper tubing at 5 to 8 FPS is ok

    Water sampling is always a great idea with well water.

    Plastic piping well see my articles in the PLUMBVIEWS section of this web site. I HATE ,DETEST plastic as putting TOXIC piping underground doesnt appeal to me.

    ILL talk to you later on our PIPDL list young man
