PPRC Pipes & Fittings

Polypipe Pakistan (Pvt.) Ltd. manufactures world class hot & cold water supply system suitable for all sanitary & potable water applications. PPRC Pipes are manufactured as per DIN 8077/8078. The exceptional heat stability and its corrosion resistance coupled with the ease of installation makes PPRC pipes and fittings the most reliable plumbing system for the hot and cold water applications with a service life in excess of 50 years. 

PPRC pipes are made of high quality food grade material, which is tested under extreme conditions & conforms to international standards for quality. PPRC pipes are reliable & designed for better performance under harsh conditions. Conforming to world-class standards of quality, they are highly reliable & offer convenient installation in any plumbing system. 

Features of PPRC System 

PPRC pipes system provides a large number of benefits in handling cold and hot water, amongst many of its features are:       

·         Long durability due to the high resistance to aggressive elements, which gives the system extremely long service life of 50 years and more.

·         Easy connectivity over a complex network. 

·         No perforation caused by electrical currents.

·         No furring while cutting.

·         Cost effective pipeline network.

·         Safe environment with recyclable ability.

·         Incomparable smooth and porosity – free internal surface of both pipes and fitting, which results in a very low pressure loss and absence of incrustation (reduction of section due to the limestone and scaling)            .

·         Nontoxic and physiologically harmless material.

·         Resistance to bacteriological attack thus enabling safe potable water transfers.

·         Resistance to wide range of chemicals and so corrosion avoided in service lines.

·         Good impact strength so as to be used in all environments and around buildings.           

·         Heat preservation and energy saving abilities. The heat conductivity of PPRC pipes are much lesser than metals and hence offer significantly high level of heat preservation for transported fluids.      

·         High acoustic insulation against fluid noise. The fluid flow and hydraulic shocks with in the building create the noise which can be very well avoided by the noise absorption ability of PPRC materials.

·         Light weight compared to the metallic piping system (1/9 of the steel gravity).

·         Convenient and reliable installation methods increasing labour productivity and significant cost savings. 

Applications

·         Buildings
·         Residential Units
·         Commercial Projects
·         Industries

Standards followed & pressure ratings 

DIN standards (8077-8078) are being followed in Pakistan. PPRc pipes can be produced for different pressure classes. The four common pressure classes are:

·         10 bar

·         12.5 bar

·         16 bar

·         20 bar 

First two ratings are for cold water pipe only and second two are for hot and cold water. This is the pressure that a good pipe can take all along its life.
