What’s PPR pipes and fittings?
PPR, also called PPRC, full name as Polypropylene Random Copolymer.
PPR pipes and fittings are made by Polypropylene Random Copolymer material, produced through a continuous extrusion process (for PPR pipe) & injection moulding process (for PPR fittings).
What’s the main application of PPR pipes and fittings? What’s the main benefits of PPR pipes and fittings?
PPR pipes and fittings have been widely used as cold & hot water systems of houses, hotels and other commercial buildings. In addition, they are also used for the industrial piping for transferring water, sanitary liquids, liquid food products, compressed air, and aggressive chemicals eg. highly acidic or alkaline solutions. Building central radiator heating water, usually in a circular loop piping arrangement.
Main benefits of PPR pipes and fittings:
※ Green pipe
PPR pipe is a kind of green pipe. Non-Toxic, hygienic for drinkable water supply.
※ Excellent temperature resistance & high working pressure
PPR pipes can be worked at the max.95℃ water temperature & the max. PN25 bars working pressure.
※ Reliable jointing
Heat-fusion is the jointing method for PPR pipe. The PPR pipes & fittings have the same molecular structure, the heat-fusion technology makes the PPR molecular structure recombined as a integration. Heat-fusion jointing makes the PPR pipes the most reliable connection with 100% leak free.
※ Low thermal conductivity
The low thermal conductivity of PPR pipes makes them usable in the cold/hot water supply systems in the commercial sectors.
※ Recycled for use to save resource
PPR pipes and fittings can be recycled used, so it will save the resource.
※ Long service time
PPR pipe is designed for a long lifespan up to 50 years under normal conditions.

How does SUNPLAST guarantee the quality of PPR pipe and fittings? What’s the warranty term in quality?
The quality of incoming material determines the qualification of the piping. To guarantee the best quality, SUNPLAST adopts 100% virgin PPR material R200P from South Korea Hyosung, which is recognized as one of the best quality material in the world.
We have been implementing ISO9001 management during the whole production. All PPR pipe and fittings shall adopt a strict testing during the whole production process, from which all manufacturing defect or inferior-quality product can be found.
All PPR pipes and fittings are covered by a 5-year warranty period. This guarantee is subject to a proper product application and adherence to this installation manual.
What’s the packing methods of SUNPLAST PPR pipes & fittings?
SUNPLAST PPR pipes are packed in bars with 4m or 5.8m length. A bundle of pipes (such as 120m length for dn20mm pipe) be packed by a PP bags with plastic bags wrapped inside.
PPR fittings be packed in cartons with plastic bags inside.
What’s the difference between PPR pipes & HDPE pipe?
There are three main difference between PPR pipes & HDPE pipe:
1) . PPR pipes are made of polypropylene material while HDPE pipe is polyethylene material, like PE100 or PE80 material.
2) . PPR pipes are suitable for cold & hot water portable piping systems, but HDPE pipe can be used as cold water pipe only.
3) . PPR pipe normally available in small diameter like dn20-110mm, but HDPE pipe can be supplied from dn20-1200mm (SUNPLAST can provide).
How to choose between PPR pipes & PEX-AL-PEX pipe for hot water plumbing? Which one is better?
Both PPR pipes & PEX-AL-PEX pipe can be serviced at max. 95℃ temperature, but they are two different pipe that are made of different materials: PPR pipes are made of single polypropylene material, while PEX-AL-PEX pipes are composite materials with a five layers’ structure of PEX, Aluminum & Adhesive.
Benefits of PPR pipes for hot water plumbing:
※ PPR pipes are connected by a heat-fusion technology, the PPR pipes & fittings are bonded together as a integration, so they are 100% leak-free permanent when pressure test is made. PEX-AL-PEX pipe can be installed by mechanical brass fittings, and a risk of leak when service for long time.
※ PPR pipes can offer higher pressure ratings for choice, which are PN10/PN12.5/PN16/PN20, while PEX-AL-PEX pipe is PN10 only.
Benefits of PEX-AL-PEX pipes for hot water plumbing:
※ PEX-AL-PEX pipe is flexible, and can be provided in 100m-500m coils, but PPR pipes can be supplied in bars of 4m or 5.8m length only.
※ PEX-AL-PEX pipe is oxygen barrier, while PPR pipe is non-barrier pipe
So, both of pipes have benefits, and it is hard to say which one is better. Normally for underfloor heating systems, PEX-AL-PEX pipe is preferred by our customers, because it is flexible, easy install, less jointing. But for indoor water plumbing systems, especially for high-rise buildings that higher pressure requested, PPR pipe is a ideal choice.
