Why PPR-C Pipe Fittings Last Longer than Other Types?

When we talk of plumbing and fluid distribution systems, durability is considered a major issue. Whether it is for residential or industrial use, a durable plumbing solution help to save both time and money in the long run. Among various piping materials available today, PPR-C pipe fittings have got a reputation for their durability and reliability. But how they are far better than other traditional materials is discussed below:

Superior Quality Material Composition

PPR-Cpipe fittings are made from high-grade thermoplastic polypropylene random copolymer, which is known for its durability, flexibility, and resistance to chemicals and temperature variations. The molecular structure of PPR-C remains stable for decades, ensuring that the fittings maintain their integrity. This material is also non-reactive and thus does not corrode or rust.

Resistance to Temperature

PPR-C pipe fittings are heat and cold resistant, functioning effectively in temperatures from -20°C to 95°C, making them ideal for hot and cold water systems.But, many other piping materials become brittle in cold weather or weaken under high temperatures; PPR-C pipe fittings remain stable and functional.This makes them most preferred choice of customers.

Exceptional Chemical Resistance

PPR-C pipe fittings are resistant to chemicals such as acids etc. This feature is particularly important and advantageous in industrial and chemical applications.  In comparison, materials like CPVC or metal can corrode or weaken when exposed to harsh chemicals over time.

Leakproof Heat Fusion Joints

In other piping systems, threaded or glued joints are used but PPR-C pipe fittings are joined using a heat fusion technique. This process involves melting the surfaces of the pipe and fitting and then joining them together to form a single continuous piece. By doing so, we have a leakproof and homogenous joint that is just as strong as the pipe itself.

UVand Weather Resistance

Modern PPR-C pipe fittings, particularly, triple-layer variants, come with UV stabilizers that protect them from sunlight degradation. This is an important feature for outdoor installations, where constant exposure to sunlight can weaken many other types of pipes. PPR-C pipes are  resistant to UV radiation and ensure that the fittings do not crack over time.

Low Maintenance and Long Service Life

If once installed properly, PPR-C pipe fittings do not require much maintenance. They are not prone to clogging, which means the flow of water or other fluids remains smooth. Their smooth inner surface also reduces friction, resulting in lower pressure drops and increased energy efficiency. These pipes have a potential lifespan of 50 years or more, these fittings outperform most alternatives in both performance and longevity.

Safe and Hygienic

PPR-C is completely non-toxic being a food-grade material. It does not react with water and does not release harmful substances, making it a safe choice for drinking water supply lines. In addition to it, the antimicrobial properties available in some PPR-C variants further ensure hygienic water transport, which is essential in homes, hospitals, and food processing units.

APL Apollo PPR-C Pipe and Fittings

APL Apollo Pipes have a state-of-the-art PPR-C plumbing system that is designed to deliver superiorwater supply solutions with incomparable quality and performance.   Available in four distinct variants like Mono Layer, Triple Layer, Thermotech, and Thermotech Plus, each type is prepared with unique features such as UV stabilization, glass fibre reinforcement, and antimicrobial properties to suit diverse applications.

Manufactured for endurance, this high-performance system is weather-resistant and can withstand extreme temperatures ranging from -20°C to 95°C.  This specialty makes it best suited for both hot and cold water applications in any climate.

The Triple Layer protectionmakes it especially effective for outdoor installations exposed to direct sunlight.

Installations of PPR-C piping is easy and requires only a few minutes and minimal maintenance over time. The heat fusion jointing technique ensures a leak-proof connection, reducing tension about water leakage.

Designed for modern plumbing needs, the system offers low pressure drop and high flow capacity those results in reduced energy consumption and lower pumping costs. Its antibacterial surface also supports a hygienic and smooth water flow, making it ideal for residential   and industrial settings.

APLApollo PPR-C pipes are made to resist high pH levels, harsh chemicals, and intense UV radiation, making them a perfect fit for industrial and residential sectors as well.
