Biographie The 4 Benefits of Using PPR Pipes for Drinking Water


PPR pipes are made of polypropylene random copolymer plastic and it is commonly a cylindrical pipe and straight. They are lightweight which makes them easy to transport and are usually offered in green and white. The PPR pipes are also known for having walls that are thicker than PVC pipes. The PPR piping system comes with fittings, valve, fusing machine, and other accessories that are available for every size of the pipe. They are safe to use and are non-toxic, that¡¯s why this is the best choice when it comes to drinking water piping systems.


Let¡¯s take a dive-down look at the benefits of PPR Pipes for drinking water and why it is safer.


1. Smooth Inner Surface


Compared to other traditional types of pipes, the PPR pipes have a very smooth inner wall or surface. Because of the smooth walls, the pipes only have a small effect when it comes to frictional resistance. It also reduces the pressure during transporting and distributing the fluid. On the other hand, the PPR pipes do not flake, unlike the metal pipes, that¡¯s why this is a safer choice for drinking water.


2. Long Term Service


We want a piping system that is safe, and other than being safe we want it to have a long service life. For over 50 years, the PPR piping system has been functional and still has that wide range in temperature. It can endure the hot temperature and at the same time, it can withstand cold temperatures without getting cracks or breaking that will lead to water leaks.


3. Heat and Cold Resistance


PPR is designed to be a versatile piping system for potable water that can be used in different industries, such as hospitals and hotels. And PPR piping system has good heat resistance that can reach up to 80 (and above) degrees celsius. It can also withstand cold temperatures, mostly installations in cold weather where other pipes are prone to damages that cause water leaks. This is why PPR is the best choice for drinking water.


4. Non-Toxic


Toxic chemicals that come from our water supply is a threat to our health, but pipes and fittings made from PPR are harmless raw materials. Thus, it will not carry toxic substances that will affect the health of people drinking water from it. And it¡¯s not only safe for our bodies, but it is also safe for the environment. Since they are non-toxic, any production or installation of the PPR piping system will not cause pollution.


Overall, PPR pipeline is safer and has more advantages than metal pipes which is why PPR is suitable for our drinking water. After all, we want our family to be safe and healthy at the same time.


We hope that this article has helped you in making a decision on which pipes you¡¯ll use for drinking water.


PPR Fittings: Know More About Them



PPR Fittings are the most important part of the PPR piping system because their purpose is to make different applications for water connection, whether in the building or at home. They may seem complicated because of their various appearances, but they are easy to remember!


In this article, we will help you understand the functions of PPR fittings and its applications.


1. Elbow


If you need to turn your pipes in another direction, use the elbow fitting. This helps you direct the flow of the water, may it be to the left or right, upward or downward direction. They are available in different angles, depending on how you need it.


Usually, the elbow fitting is meant for pipes that have the same diameter sizes, so always check the sizes before you purchase this fitting.


2. Elbow Reducer


An elbow reducer is a type of pipe fitting that joins two pipes of various sizes together. It connects two different pipe sizes that need an angled direction. l


3. Coupling


Couplings are used to connect two pipes together.



What Is Poly B Plumbing, and What Does It Mean If You Have It?


Poly b plumbing used to be a household name, but that's no longer the case. If you've heard that you have this type of plumbing and want to learn more about what that means, read on. We've laid out a guide on what pb pipe is, how to tell if you have it, and what you should do if you find this piping in your home.


What is poly b plumbing?


Polybutylene plumbing is also known as poly b plumbing, poly b pipe, or pb pipe. This plastic piping was used frequently as a water supply line in homes from the 1970s up until the mid-1990s. It was originally used as a substitute for copper piping because of its low cost, flexibility, and easy installation.


However, over time, the use of poly piping was eventually discontinued. Originally, the fault was thought to be in the brass fittings, which were used to connect one pipe to another. If the fittings were installed too tightly, they would crack and cause leaks.


Eventually, though, it was also discovered that hot water and chemicals like chlorine can also melt or corrode the Pb piping system. To make matters worse, these pipes will look fine on the outside as they are degrading on the inside, so there was no way to tell when a leak would occur.


How to tell if you have pb pipe


If you live in a house built between 1970 and 1996, there's a chance your home might have plastic piping. Luckily, the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI) has provided tips for identifying poly piping:




Poly b piping is usually a gray color. However, it may also be white, silver, black, or blue. Blue pb, in particular, is primarily used outdoors.




It's usually stamped with the code "PB2110."




Unlike copper pipe, poly pipe is flexible. Sometimes it can even be curved.




It's a half inch to an inch in diameter.




Notably, sometimes poly b pipe is confused with pex pipe. Pex piping is usually used with radiant heating systems and can be either white, red, or blue in color. While there are also safety concerns surrounding pex piping, its colors are noticeably brighter than those you would find on pb piping. Those tubes are also much more flexible, so much so that they are even able to coil.


HDPE Pipe Fittings


The HDPE fittings can be performed in several ways as described below. It should be noted that based on the type of the fittings included in the specifications of the design one should do pipe fittings in different parts of the plan.
HDPE pipes are usually produced with two simple ends. Therefore, in order to establish a connection between the two branches, it is necessary to connect one simple end of a branch to the other simple end with a connection to each other. The various methods used to connect HDPE pipes, accessories and valves, are as follows:


1- Thermal Butt (Butt fusion)


2- Thermal bushing


3- Electro Fusion


4- Flange


5- Extrusion


6- Bolting


7- Rubber gasket latching


It should be explained that all of the above methods are currently not applicable due to the lack of production of the necessary supplies in the country, but the explanations needed to use them, if produced, are given. The consultant engineer will determine the pipe connection method according to the facilities available at the time of work in the specifications of the design. At the moment, the butt thermal connection is used for the main projects of HDPE piping and the flange connection is used for special fittings. The contractor is required to provide arrangements, and qualified personnel for any method specified in the layout specifications, and, accordingly, proceed with the connection.


HDPE Pipe Fittings


HDPE pipeline Adaptable for all piping, these fittings are used on HDPE pipe to change direction, insert a lateral or tee, or simply to cap off an end of a line.


polyethylene pipe fittings


polyethylene pipe fittings are used in all polyethylene pipelines and projects that have been used in some way as polyethylene tubes, and the type of polyethylene pipe fittings will vary according to the type of project. Polyethylene pipes are used in sewage transfer, water supply, fire extinguishing systems, covering cable and gas applications, which will vary depending on polyethylene pipe applications.
