All Types and Uses of PPR Pipes and Fittings

Introduction of PPR Pipes and Fittings

PPR (Polypropylene Random Copolymer) pipes and fittings,the third generation of polypropylene pipes, have become the first choice in construction,water supply system,drainage system world wild.The pipes, produced using advanced random copolymerisation technology, achieves a perfect balance of temperature resistance, compression resistance and hygienic properties thanks to its unique molecular structure.

Oxygen blocking tube: EVOH oxygen blocking layer, oxygen permeability < 0.1g/m³·d

Part B,PPR Pipe Fittings

PPR Pipe Fitting Name ‌	Specifications & Applications‌
‌Elbow‌	Elbows are used to change the direction of piping, commonly at 90 and 45 degrees, to help the piping system bypass obstacles and adapt to layout requirements.
‌Tee‌	Tees are used to divert or merge bodies of water through a T-shaped design, creating a branch line from the main line, for multi-point water systems in homes or commercial buildings.
‌Coupling‌	Couplings connect two pipes to ensure a leak-tight seal and can be used to extend the length of a pipe or repair a broken section.
‌Valve‌	Valves control the flow of water, such as ball valves (to quickly shut off the flow of water) and gate valves (to accurately regulate the flow), and are suitable for maintaining and regulating water pressure systems.
‌End Cap‌	End Caps Seal the ends of pipes to prevent leaks and maintain system pressure in situations where unused orifices need to be closed.
‌Reducer‌	Reducers connect pipes of different diameters, balancing flow rates and pressures and providing smooth transitions to accommodate customized piping systems
‌Flange‌	Flanges connect pipes to other components (e.g., valves, pumps) and allow for quick disassembly and reassembly for systems that require frequent maintenance or inspection.
‌Crosse‌	Crosses create multi-branched lines on mains through four-way connections for multi-point distribution of complex water systems.
‌Cap‌	Caps temporarily or permanently close off the end of a pipe for future expansion or modification of the piping design.

Applications of PPR Pipes and Fittings

Residential and Building Water Supply and Drainage Systems 

Household water supply system: used in household water supply pipe, especially in drinking water system. PPR pipe and fitting especially suitable for medium flow of water delivery.

Drinking water delivery (hot and cold water system)  

Radiant floor heating network (oxygen barrier type special piping)  

Solar hot water circulation system  

PPR Tube Used In Industrial Transfer System ‌

Industrial plumbing system: It is suitable for some industrial piping systems in low and medium temperatures, such as liquid transport in chemical and food industries.

Food-grade liquid conveying (dairy/beverage production line)  

Air-conditioning system: In air-conditioning cooling and heating systems, the pipes are commonly used for condensate discharge, hot water circulation,etc.

Acid and alkali media transport (chemical corrosion-resistant type)  

Special Applications of PPR Pipeline

Agricultural irrigation system: due to the stable and corrosion-resistant material of PPR pipe, it is also used in farmland irrigation, horticultural irrigation and other occasions.

Fire-fighting system: sometimes it is also used in the construction of fire-fighting water pipelines, especially in some small and standardised fire-fighting facilities.

Swimming pool circulating water treatment  

Packing and Shipment

Depends on the products and qty,we could make the packing of coiling,rolls,bundle packing,crates or boxes,etc.

Shipment:By sea,railway,by air or as customer’s request.

FAQ of PPR Pipes and Fittings

Q1：The core difference between PPR pipe and PVC pipe?

A: Material difference: PPR is thermoplastic plastic, PVC is thermosetting  

Temperature resistance comparison: PPR withstand 95 ℃ vs PVC maximum 60 ℃  

Connection: PPR hot melt vs PVC adhesive  

Q2: How to identify a good quality PPR pipe and fitting?

A: Look at the light permeability: high-quality pipe is completely impervious to light.  

Measure the burning smoke: qualified products burn without black smoke and odour.  

Check the certification code: the official website can verify the product test report.
