PPR Pipe

Benefits of PPR Pipe

Types of PPR Pipe

Glass fiber composite ppr pipe
RIFENG/ Glass Fiber Composite PPR Pipe consists of PPR inner and outer layers and a special mixture of Glass Fiber (GF) and PPR in the middle layer. It increases the rigidity of the pipe, improves the strength of the pipe, and reduces the linear expansion coefficient of the pipe.

Antibacterial cmic ppr pipe
RIFENG's Antibacterial Cmic PPR pipe, combined with cmics to efficiently improve the smoothness of the inner wall. Compared with ordinary PPR pipes, the smoothness of the inner wall is improved by 100%. Work with high-efficiency nano-antibacterial technology, which can ensure that the antibacterial rate in the wall is as high as 99.99%, to better offer a healthy water solution.

Double layer ppr pipe
RIFENG double-layer PPR piping system, made from the latest scientific formula with high-quality polypropylene random copolymer, it’s non-toxic, ensuring people safe drinking water, which can be applied in both residential and commercial buildings. RIFENG keeps the outer layer white and the inner is green, which effectively helps prevent the permeation of oxygen and light, providing people with clean water.

Basalt fiber ppr pipe
Basalt Fiber is a new type of inorganic, environmentally friendly and high-performance fiber material. It is one of the most representative materials in the field of aerospace science and technology. With excellent rigidity, super pressure-bearing capacity and environmental protection, it is an ideal solution for hot water.

Anti-freeze ppr pipe
The PPR anti-freeze pipe adopts the integrated moulding technology of inner PERT and outer PPR to provide a strong defence against low tempture and cold brittleness, prevent the pipe from freezing and cracking, completely bid farewell to low-tempture anti-freezing trivial measures, easily deal with sub-zero temptures, and extend the service life of pipes.

PPR-C (chlorinated polypropylene) pipes
PPR-C pipes are made of a material that has been chlorinated. This process makes the pipes more durable, resistant to high temptures and pressure, and reduces the risk of static charges.

PPR-RCT (random copolymer polypropylene) pipes
PPR-RCT pipes are made of a type of polypropylene that has a random molecular structure, which gives the pipes improved mechanical and thermal properties compared to other pipes.

PPR-FR (fire retardant) pipes
PPR-FR pipes are made with a fire retardant additive that provides a high level of protection against fire hazards. These pipes are used in applications where a high degree of safety is required.

PPR-AL-PPR (aluminum-plastic-aluminum) pipes
PPR-AL-PPR pipes are made with a combination of aluminum and plastic layers that provide excellent mechanical strength, flexibility, and resistance to corrosion and tempture changes.

PPR-PE-PPR (polyethylene-plastic-polyethylene) pipes
PPR-PE-PPR pipes are a combination of polyethylene and plastic layers. These pipes are used for hot and cold water supply, as well as for industrial applications that require a certain level of flexibility and mechanical strength.

How to Join PPR Pipe

Heating the Fusion Tool and Preparing the Pipe

Place the right-sized sockets onto the fusion tool. Most PPR fusion tools come with pairs of male and female sockets of various sizes, which correspond to common PPR pipe diameters. So, if you’re using PPR pipe that's 50 millimetres (2.0 in) in diameter, choose the socket pair marked for 50 mm.
Plug in the fusion tool to begin heating the sockets. Most fusion tools will plug into a standard 110v outlet. The tool will either start heating immediately, or you may have to turn on a power switch. Models vary, but it will likely take sevl minutes for the tool to heat the sockets to the necessary tempture.
Trim your pipe to length with a smooth, clean cut. While the fusion tool heats, mark and cut your pipe to the desired length using an effective tool to obtain a clean cut which is perpendicular to the axis. Many fusion tool sets come with a trigger- or pincer-style pipe cutter. When used according to the directions, these will create smooth, even cuts in PPR that are ideal for fusion welding.
Clean the PPR pieces with a cloth and the recommended cleaner. Your fusion tool kit will likely recommend, and may even come with, a specific cleaner to use with PPR pipe. Use this cleaner as directed on the outside of the pipe and the inside of the fitting to be joined. Let the pieces dry for a few moments.
Mark the welding depth on the joining end of the pipe. Your fusion toolset will likely come with a template for marking the proper welding depths onto various diameters of PPR pipe. Use a pencil to make the corresponding mark on the pipe.
Confirm that the fusion tool is fully heated. Many fusion tools have a display that tells you when the tool is heated and ready to go. The target tempture is typically 260 °C (500 °F).

Heating the Pipe and Fitting on the Fusion Tool

Protect your skin from the very hot fusion tool. Before you start softening PPR pipe on the fusion tool, put on heat-resistant work gloves and long sleeves. Also, tie back any loose hair and remove any dangling jewellery.
Press the PPR pieces straight into/onto their respective sockets. If you have a table-mounted fusion tool, hold the pipe in one hand and the fitting in the other so you can insert them simultaneously. If you have a handheld fusion tool, insert one piece then the other in rapid succession. Hold and insert the pieces straight in line with the sockets, not at an angle.
Start the heating timer if your model has one. Many fusion tools have built-in timers that will signal when your chosen diameter of PPR is ready to remove from the sockets. Refer to your owner’s manual for instructions on how to activate the timer.

Pull the PPR pieces straight off/out of the sockets. Just like when you put them in place on the sockets, don’t remove the pipe or fitting at an angle. Otherwise, you’ll deform the softened, nearly gooey PPR.

Fusing the Pipe and Fitting into One Piece

Push the pipe and fitting straight together immediately. As soon as you remove them from the fusion tool, insert the pipe straight into the fitting until it reaches the depth line marked on it. Don’t insert the pipe at an angle, and don’t twist either piece — just push the pipe straight in.
Hold the fused pipe pieces in place for 30 seconds. PPR pipe heats very quickly and cools very quickly. Within 30 seconds, the pieces will have cooled enough to have fused into one piece of PPR pipe. You can then put the fused pipe down and move on to your next task.
Put the pipe into service after it cools completely. Once the fused PPR pipe cools to room tempture again, it is ready to withstand its rated water pressure. Once your plumbing system is fully installed, you can turn on the water and check for leaks.
