What Are PPR Pipes and Fittings?

PPR pipes, also known as polypropylene random copolymer pipes, are a type of plastic piping used for hot and cold-water supply as well as for heating systems. PPR pipes are made from a type of plastic called polypropylene, which is known for its durability and resistance to corrosion. These pipes are widely used in the construction industry for a variety of applications, including residential and commercial plumbing, heating systems, and industrial piping.

PPR pipes are preferred over other types of plastic pipes because they are resistant to temperature changes, UV radiation, and chemical degradation, making them a long-lasting and reliable choice for plumbing and heating systems. They are also easy to install, requiring fewer fittings and connections compared to other types of pipes.

What Are PPR Fittings?

PPR fittings are components used to connect PPR pipes or to transition from PPR pipes to other types of pipes. PPR fittings come in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit different piping configurations and needs. Some common types of PPR fittings include elbows, couplings, tees, crosses, reducers, and adapters.

Elbows are used to change the direction of the pipe, usually by 90 degrees. Couplings are used to connect two PPR pipes of the same diameter. Tees are used to split a single pipe into two or more branches. Crosses are used to connect four pipes at a single point. Reducers are used to connect PPR pipes of different diameters. Adapters are used to connect PPR pipes to other types of pipes, such as metal pipes.

Are PPR Fittings and PPR Pipes the Same?

PPR fittings are made from the same material as PPR pipes, which means they are also resistant to temperature changes, UV radiation, and chemical degradation. They are easy to install and require no special tools or equipment, making them a popular choice for plumbing and heating systems.
