Polypropylene plumbing pipes - characteristics and installation

Features and characteristics of polypropylene pipes

Modern construction technology for the device main purpose pipelines and wiring intrahouse all plastic is used more often.The advantages of polypropylene include its durability conservation properties (over 50 years).

Metal pipes tend to "grow over" from the inside, eventually reducing its internal diameter.In contrast, the inner wall does not appear polypropylene deposition occurs corrosion and other damage.

Polypropylene pipes for water supply completely neutral chemically, have no toxicity to any secretions and do not affect the quality of water supplied.Special stabilizing additives used in the manufacture of bases, provide high resistance to temperature changes and a drastic change in the internal pressure.

polypropylene destruction possible even in the case of complete freezing of the water present in them.What again it distinguishes them from metal pipes, such as fear and defrosting come in this case in complete disrepair.To be objective, we should recognize that in this case the diameter size slightly increased.But after thawing frozen water inside the pipe is completely restores the original geometry sizes.

Polypropylene pipes for hot water fully meet the current energy saving trends.They are characterized by low heat loss due to the low thermal conductivity.As it is known, up to twenty percent of the temperature of heated water is lost during its transportation to the end user on the metal pipes.

A lack of traditional condensation on metal pipes with hot water also contributes to significant savings in paints and anticorrosion coatings.You can list the absence of the characteristic "singing" polypropylene Communications (reliably damped vibration and noise), ease of maintenance of pipes, save money on all these positions of installation and operation.

Among all we can not say that the installation of water supply system of polypropylene pipes welding technology joints provides durable, heavy-duty sealed and connected sections and transitions.Moreover, the creation of such a compound is a few seconds.

requirements and methods of laying pipes

Polypropylene pipes for water well permit different ways pads, including the opening, under plaster, special shaft and channel, channel-free exterior.The use of special hangers and brackets compensate for temperature and voltage distortion can be arranged in the space mezhkarkasnom plasterboard paneling systems, etc.This and other types of accommodation are often secretive justified if necessary, the system of protection against mechanical impact.

Polypropylene pipes for external water supply can be placed in the ground.The depth of communication must take into account the possibility of its freezing.Additional protection can be the use of special plastic or galvanized gutters, insulation.

Outside accommodation polypropylene communication is also possible in boxes on special supports.This type of accommodation is most often justified in interplant or other similar communications.Laid in the soil boxes are another way to trusted location polypropylene pipes.

During the installation of polypropylene pipes for hot water should be placed in special movable and fixed supports and have a special seal to avoid heat loss.The thickness of the insulating layer depends on the location and passage of the pipe reaches 15 mm.

correct placement of supports, joints, elbows completely determined by the selected method of thermal deformation compensation measures.This includes the number and type of the knees and legs, the choice of length of the section of the compensator.It is especially necessary to take into account these features to the external parts of the water supply.

mounting Features polypropylene pipes

Although polypropylene pipes for cold water, as well as pipes for hot are simple installation and assembly , require a special tool that can provide all of the benefits listed.First and foremost need Electric machine with paired nozzles of appropriate dimensions.

also need alcohol to clean the nozzles (can substitute tangitom).We need a cutter (a specific, with the cutting roller) or special scissors, durable and sharp knife with a short blade, a fabric made of natural fiber, tape measure or meter marker.To prepare the edges of reinforced pipes need special zachistnoe device.

During the work arc welder is necessary to fulfill all requirements of the instruction manual.Installation of polypropylene pipes, usually warns of the need to comply with the requirements of the implementation of bends, elbows, minimum bending radius, and so forth.

Possible damage during welding in the future lead to delamination and leakage of polypropylene.One of the methods of bending work in the absence of a special bending tool is to fill the tube with sand and gentle flexing her hands in the right place.
