PPRC Fittings
PPR fittings are plastic connection parts joined to polypropylene random copolymer (PP-R) pipes by socket fusion welding. After welding, pipe and fitting become one body; no threaded or gasketed joint is needed.
They are used for hot and cold domestic water, combi boiler and heating connections in residential and commercial buildings and for light industrial water lines. Elbows, tees, sockets, reducers, end caps, brass-threaded and swivel unions are supplied from Ø20 to Ø110 mm.
Main Applications
- In-building hot and cold domestic water
- Combi boiler and water heater connections
- Heating and underfloor heating supply lines
- Water tank and booster set connections
- Light industrial water and compressed air lines
- Agricultural and greenhouse irrigation distribution
