What are the installation process and performance characteristics of PP pipe?

As a new type of water pipe material, PP pipe has unique advantages. It can be used as a cold pipe or a hot water pipe. It has strong resistance to pressure. Because of its non-toxicity, light weight, pressure resistance, and Corrosion is becoming a popularized material. It is also suitable for hot water pipes and even pure drinking water pipes. PP pipes are generally used in large buildings. The interface of the PP pipe adopts hot-melt technology, and the pipes are completely fused together, so once the installation and pressure test pass.

PP pipes will not age and leak for a long time like aluminum-plastic pipes, and PP pipes will not scale, which is the advantage of PP pipes. The installation process of PP pipes is demanding. It is not recommended to use your own workers to install the water pipes. The installation methods are different in different seasons. The interface of the PP pipe adopts hot-melt technology, and the pipes are completely fused together, so once the installation and pressure test pass, there will never be water leakage, and the reliability is extremely high.

But this is not to say that PP pipes are flawless water pipes, with poor high temperature resistance and pressure resistance, and the long-term working temperature cannot exceed 70°C. Each section has a limited length and cannot be bent for construction. If the pipeline is laid for a long distance or has many corners, a large number of joints will be used in the construction; the pipe is cheap but the price of the accessories is relatively high. In terms of overall performance, PP pipe is currently the most cost-effective pipe material, so it has become the preferred material for renovation of home improvement water pipes. There are two main colors for PP pipes, white and gray.

Generally, in the hydropower transformation, the original water pipes will be replaced, and home improvement companies and businesses recommend that all decorators use hot water pipes when installing PP pipes, even where cold water flows through them. They say that because the technical parameters of hot water pipes are higher than those of cold water pipes, and the price is not much different, hot water pipes are used for waterway transformation. Another fact is that even if you want to buy cold water pipes, it is difficult to buy them on the market, because cold water pipes are only available in the tooling market, not in the home improvement market.
