Ice Rink Pipe
High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is the trusted choice for ice rink refrigeration systems, delivering consistent performance in demanding freeze-thaw cycles and glycol/brine circulation. At Encoma, we manufacture premium ice rink pipe from virgin PE-4710 resin. The material fully complies with ASTM D3350, featuring a cell classification of PE445574C, providing superior strength, flexibility, and long-term reliability for both community rinks and professional facilities.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Lifetime guarantee against rot, rust, electrolytic corrosion, and material/workmanship defects — ensuring decades of maintenance-free service under the ice.
- Diameters from 3/4″ to 6″ (ideal for rink loops, supply/return manifolds, headers), with multiple wall thicknesses (DR options) to handle pressure and flow requirements.
- Excellent thermal conductivity and chemical resistance to glycol or brine solutions, promoting efficient cooling, faster ice-making, and uniform surface temperatures.
- Flexible and tough for easy installation in tight header trenches or looped floor layouts.
- Custom lengths cut to your exact specifications.
- NSF Geo certified where applicable (e.g., to ASTM D3035, ASTM F714, CSA B137.1, CSA C448 standards) for confidence in quality and performance.
- Proudly manufactured in Elm Creek, Manitoba — supporting local arenas, curling clubs, and community projects with Canadian-made durability.
From hometown rinks to large indoor arenas, Encoma’s ice rink pipe provides the dependable foundation for energy-efficient, long-lasting refrigeration systems that stand up to heavy use and extreme temperature swings.
