Everything You Need to Know Before Choosing a PPR Pipe?
Introduction
Selecting the best PPR pipe for your project might be difficult. It’s easy to become overwhelmed when there are so many various brands, and sizes to pick from. But, with the right knowledge of the qualities, you can make an informed selection about which PPR pipes is best for you.
PPR is an excellent choice for both hot and cold-water applications.
PPR pipes, are an excellent choice for both hot and cold-water applications, in addition, PPR pipes are easy to install, which makes them the best choice for both residential and commercial applications.
Furthermore, they are also highly flexible which makes installation easier than ever before. Last but not the least, these PPR pipes require less maintenance than traditional pipes which can save your time and money in the long run.
PPR is very strong and durable
PPR does not rust, therefore, it will not corrode or degrade over time like metal pipes can. PPR pipes can handle the maximum amount of pressure without any problems and can also resist chemical attacks from a variety of acids.
Thanks to their versatility and strength, PPR pipes are the preferred choice for many plumbing systems.
PPR is easy to install.
Installation PPR pipes require careful preparation, as well as attention to detail in the welding process. Here are the steps to follow:
1, Gather the necessary tools and materials
You will need a welding machine with appropriate welding dies, a pipe cutter, deburring tool, a maker and PPR pipes and fittings.
2, Prepare the welding machine
Fit the welding machine with the appropriate welding dies for the diameter of the pipes to be welded. Connect the plug to a 220V power supply socket ad wait until the green light on the machine goes out, indicating that the welding machine has reached the working temperature.
3, Cut the pipes
Use a pipe cutter to cut the PPR pipes at right angles to the pipe axis. Ensure that the cuts are clean and smooth.
4, Deburr the pipes
Use a deburring tool to remove any burrs or cutting chips from the cutting area.
5, Mark the welding depth
Use a marker to mark the welding depth of the pipe. This will ensure that the pipe is inserted into the correct depth in the heating sleeve.
6, Heat the pipes and fittings
Insert the end of the pipe without turning into the heating sleeve up to the marked welding depth. At the same time, slide the fitting without turning into the other side of the heating tool up to the stop. Heat the pipes and fittings for the required heating time, as indicated in the table below
PPR pipe Diameter(mm) Heat Time(Second)
20-32.5
40-637
75-11010
125-16012
180-25020
7, Weld the pipes and fittings
At the end of the heating time, remove the pipe and fittings from the heating tool and push them immediately against each other up to the mark indicating the welding depth. The depth mark will be covered with the welding bead. Do not rotate the pipes and fittings relative to each other during this process.
8, Allow the joint to cool
Allow the joint to cool fully before using it. Do not apply ay stress to the joint until it has fully cooled.
9, Repeat the process
Repeat the process for all pipes and fittings, ensure that each joint is allowed to cool fully before proceeding to the next one.
By following these steps carefully, you can install PPR pipes with a strong and reliable welded joint.
PPR is a great choice for both residential and commercial application
PPR pipes are incredibly strong and durable, making them perfect for both residential and commercial applications. This material is also lightweight and easy to install, saving time and money.
Commercial applications for PPR pipes include air conditioning and heating systems, fire protection systems and water supply lines.
