PPR Pipeline Solution

Many users do not know much about the PPR pipeline and will have various questions. In order to allow everyone to have a clearer understanding of the PPR pipeline, IFAN summarizes some of the frequently asked questions by users to answer your questions.

1. Why do PPR pipes have different colors?

Pure PPR raw materials are actually colorless and transparent, so the water pipes are made without covering the light, which will easily lead to the growth of algae and bacteria in the water pipes, which will pollute the water quality, and also accelerate the aging of the water pipes and affect the service life of the PPR water pipes. . Therefore, the anti-oxidation, light stability and other properties of the pipeline are enhanced by coloring. The difference in color has nothing to do with the quality of the pipe.

2. What is the difference between hot and cold water pipes?

Hot water pipes are generally thicker than cold water pipes, and have better pressure and high temperature resistance. The hot water pipe can be used as the cold water pipe, but the cold water pipe cannot replace the hot water pipe. Hot water pipes have better stability and mechanical properties under high temperature conditions, but are brittle under low temperature conditions and have a higher probability of being easily damaged; cold water pipes have very good toughness at low temperature conditions and are used under high temperature conditions. If it is, it is easy to deform, and the strength will be greatly reduced.

3. What are the specifications of PPR pipes?

The PPR pipes used in home improvement are mainly 20mm and 25mm. These two types of pipes are also commonly known as 4-pipe and 6-pipe, of which 6-pipe is used more. Requirements are also constantly changing. There may be a little difference in the specifications of PPR pipes of different brands, but in general, 25mm hot water pipes are the most commonly used size in home improvement.

4. How long is the service life of PPR pipes?

Normally, it can be used for 50 years. The experimental data shows that the qualified PPR pipe has a service life of more than 50 years under the rated operating temperature and pressure.

5. What are the advantages and disadvantages of PPR pipelines?

The high temperature resistance and pressure resistance of PPR pipelines are slightly worse, and the long-term working temperature cannot exceed 70 degree ; the length of each section is limited and cannot be bent for construction. If the pipeline lays a long distance or has many corners, a lot of Fittings; tubing is cheap but fittings are relatively expensive. In terms of comprehensive performance, PPR pipes have the advantages of light weight, good heat resistance, strong corrosion resistance, low thermal conductivity, low pipeline resistance, firm pipeline connections, and hygienic non-toxicity. The material of choice for plumbing renovations.
