PPRC Pipes & Fittings

HOT & COLD WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

Poly propylene is the quickest developing polymer in pipe industry. PPR-100 is the best quality of it. PPR-100 just implies that the strength of the material is to endure the tension of 100 bar. That’s why we use PPR-100 for the first time in Pakistan to make PPR-100 lines in three distinct classes PN 16, PN 20, PN 25.

Manufacturers presented PPR-100 fittings according to DIN 16962 and EN ISO 15874, these fittings are produced according to PN 25. Its metal bits are made of metal and are electroplated with food evaluated nickel.

SALIENT FEATURES OF PPR-100 PIPES AND FITTINGS

    • Exceptional corrosion & erosion resistance as PPR-100 is a polymer product, hence after installing PPR just forget about corrosion problems & so it is an ideal product for various Chemical & other Fluid transmit application

    • High chemical resistance power even at high temperatures

    • Low Thermal Conductivity makes it an ideal Piping system where one needs to Control & Maintain the Temperature. Indeed, it has the lowest Thermal Conductivity compared to any other polymers

    • Anti-Fungal & Non-toxic product, free from the growth of any bacteria

    • Leak-proof & airtight homogeneous joints by fusion welding method

    • Long Service life, above 50 years over a wide temperature range

    • Negligible head loss, Minimum Pressure loss & Higher Flow Rate due to smooth internal surface & homogeneous joints

    • Inherited characteristic of high impact strength makes its suitable for industrial application at unskilled labor region

    • Wide Temperature range: -40C to +90C (suitable for both hot & cold applications)

    • Very low thermal loss, as PPR-C is poor conductor of heat & condensation

    • Trouble-free installation process & light in weight for transmit

  • Fracture Resistance & Minimum Crack Transmission due to Co-polymer with random assortment.

PRECAUTIONS

    • Protect PPR Pipes & Fittings from hard impact

    • Avoid the use metal tools to fit the brass fittings

    • Don’t expose pipes & Fittings to UV-radiation for longer period

  • Don’t use flame to head the pipe to get any bents or crossovers
 

    • Polypropylene Random Copolymer (PPRC) pipes and fittings are a popular choice in modern plumbing and piping systems due to their remarkable properties and versatility. These thermoplastic pipes are made from a type of polypropylene that contains random copolymer molecules, resulting in a combination of high strength, durability, and excellent chemical resistance. Here, we will delve into the key features and advantages of PPRC pipes and fittings.

      1. Durability: PPRC pipes and fittings are known for their exceptional durability. They are highly resistant to corrosion, chemical reactions, and abrasion, making them ideal for transporting various liquids, including hot and cold water, acids, and alkalis. Their longevity ensures minimal maintenance and replacement costs.

      2. High Temperature Resistance: PPRC pipes can withstand high temperatures, making them suitable for hot water distribution systems. They maintain their structural integrity even under prolonged exposure to hot water, ensuring reliable and safe plumbing installations.

      3. Lightweight: PPRC pipes are lightweight compared to traditional materials like metal or concrete pipes. This makes them easier to handle, transport, and install. Their lightweight nature also reduces the overall structural load on buildings.

      4. Excellent Thermal Insulation: PPRC pipes have low thermal conductivity, which means they provide natural insulation to the transported fluids. This helps maintain the temperature of hot or cold water, reducing energy consumption in heating or cooling processes.

      5. Leak-Proof Joints: PPRC pipes and fittings are joined using heat fusion techniques, creating seamless and leak-proof connections. This eliminates the risk of water leakage, ensuring a reliable and water-efficient plumbing system.

      6. Hygienic and Non-Toxic: PPRC pipes are non-toxic and do not release harmful substances into the water supply, making them safe for potable water distribution. They also have a smooth inner surface that prevents the buildup of scale and biofilm.
