Waterway renovation is the top priority of home decoration, just like human nerves and blood, giving life to the house. PPR pipe is non-toxic, hygienic, and has a long service life. It is regarded as a green and reliable pipe by the construction water supply and drainage industry. Because of its high-cost performance, it has become the most commonly used home water pipe.


PPR Pipeline Quality Gap Factors


PPR pipeline is actually a product with relatively low production technology. From the perspective of production technology, the overall production quality of domestic regular manufacturers is not much different. The main factors that cause the quality gap are the following:


1. How much material is used in the product


2. Product material purity


3. Fine workmanship


4. Other parts of additional functionality


As customers, how should we distinguish the quality of PPR pipes? In fact, it can be compared from the following directions:


01 Wall thickness and tolerance


Conventional water pipes have two specifications of 20 and 25. The common pipe wall thickness parameters in the market are 20*2.8mm and 25*3.5mm, and some are even less than this thickness after measurement. , life and high-temperature resistance will be weakened. Poly pipes are different from other brands. The pipe specifications are 20*3.4mm and 25*4.2mm, which are better than most brands currently circulating in the market.


02 Quality of pipes and fittings


In the same way, the heavier the weight of the pipes of the same specification, the better the compression resistance. This is because the water pipe material and pipe wall thickness of each brand is different. Under the premise of the same length, the heavier the pipe, the more reliable the quality. When selecting PPR pipes, you may wish to cut a section of pipes of the same length and specifications for direct weighing and comparison.


03 Product materials


Although most domestic PPR pipeline brands claim to use imported raw materials, some other recycled wastes are mixed in the processing process. The sources of recycled materials are complicated and confusing, and some even come from disposable medical supplies. The pipes produced from these recycled materials will cause secondary pollution to tap water, and long-term use of these materials will cause great harm to consumers' health.


04 Fineness of workmanship


In terms of workmanship, you can simply observe whether the inner wall of the pipe is smooth and free of trachoma and whether the copper part of the pipe is neat and tidy and other factors to judge the quality of the pipe.
