Home And Industrial PPR Pipe Installation Guide
In the global wave of building water supply system upgrades, PPR (random copolymer polypropylene) pipes are gradually replacing traditional metal pipes with their high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and zero leakage characteristics. As a professional exporter who has been working in the pipeline industry for 10 years, Let us reveals the PPR pipe standard installation process for you to help you create a reliable pipeline system with 50 years of maintenance free.
First,Industrial and Home use PPR Pipeline Advantages (Required reading before construction)
1. Material Characteristics
Operating temperature range: -20 ° C to 95 ° C (better than the upper limit of 60 ° C of PVC pipe)
Compressive strength: 2.5MPa at 20℃ environment (through ISO 9001 certification)
Sanitary rating: NSF/ANSI 61 Drinking water system certification
2. Economic Comparison
| Type of pipeline | Installation cost | Maintenance cycle | Service life |
| Galvanized steel pipe | high | 3-5 years | 15 years |
| Copper pipe | Extremely high | 8-10 years | 25 years |
| PPR tube | Medium | Maintenance-free | 50 years |
Professional grade PPR tube installation 7-step method
Step 1: Accurate mapping and cutting
Use a laser rangefinder to ensure ±2mm accuracy
Cutting tool selection:
Rotary cutter (DN20-DN63 pipe diameter)
Electric pipe cutter (DN75 + large diameter pipe)
Step 2: Key technologies of hot melt welding
Temperature control: 260±5℃ (equipped with digital temperature control welding machine)
Heating time reference table:
| Pipe diameter (mm) | Heating time (s) | Engaging time (s) | Cooling time (min) |
| 20 | 5 | 4 | 2 |
| 32 | 8 | 6 | 4 |
| 63 | 24 | 8 | 6 |
Step 3: Pipe fixing points
Pipe clamp spacing standard:
Horizontal pipe: DN20 pipe @600mm
Vertical tube: DN32 tube @1200mm
304 stainless steel spring clamps are recommended
5 Solutions to common installation problems
1. Virtual welding problem diagnosis
Cause: pipe/fittings are not clean, insufficient heating time
Rapid detection method: 30° bending test after welding
2. Winter construction precautions
When the ambient temperature is < 5℃, the cooling time is extended by 50%
Use [brand name] low temperature special PPR tube (glass transition temperature -15℃)
3. Lintel sleeve installation specifications
Casing diameter ≥ pipe outer diameter +20mm
Fill with flexible flame retardant material for seal
4.Professional tool set recommended
Intelligent temperature control welding machine: with temperature compensation function
Multifunctional pipe cutter: Support 20-110mm full specification
Pipe detector: can measure the depth of welding penetration
5.How to choose PPR pipeline?
1. High quality raw materials
The Nordic chemical RA130E raw material is used, the ash content is < 0.02%
2. Global certification system
It has obtained 28 international certifications such as CE, WRAS and SGS
