The DN160 electrofusion PPR fitting is designed for medium-duty hot water pipelines, specifically for connecting to main district heating supply lines with large diameters. It is manufactured using high-performance base resins, such as Borouge's RA140E or PPB4228. The grey fitting is suitable for high-pressure hot water (≥20 bar) and features a uniquely thickened structure to resist softening under high temperatures. It is optimized for uniform heat distribution in large-diameter connections, making it ideal for large thermal power stations and factory hot water circuits. The excellent insulation properties of PPR help maximize heat energy retention. After passing rigorous pressure and long-term heat resistance tests, it provides a reliable, long-life solution for major heating projects.

The electrofusion process creates a homogeneous and perfect fusion interface, resulting in a joint strength that can exceed that of the pipe itself. These welded joints undergo stringent long-term testing, ensuring they can withstand the same working pressure and service life as the pipeline, eliminating leakage risks. Therefore, electrofusion PPR connections are particularly suited as the preferred interface system for high-quality potable water and heating systems.

FAQ

 

 

Q: The purchased PPR elbow/tee has uneven wall thickness, with some areas being too thin, affecting strength. What should I do?

A: Request an immediate replacement and always choose reputable manufacturers. Check if the fitting's wall thickness complies with national standards (S series corresponds to specific wall thickness standards). Uneven walls cause unbalanced heating during welding, leading to stress concentration and potential failure under pressure.

Q: How can I determine if pipes from different brands can be welded together?

A: Ideally, use fittings from the same brand. If the brands differ, ensure both the pipe and fitting are made from virgin PPR (no recycled material) and have identical nominal outer diameter and wall thickness. Before final welding, test weld a small section. After cooling, check the integrity of the seal before proceeding.

Q: Can PPR fittings still be used if they have turned yellow and become brittle due to long-term sun exposure during storage?

A: If only slightly yellowed and not cracked, they might be used for non-pressure or low-pressure applications. If they are brittle and show white marks when bent, discard them immediately. Sun exposure severely degrades the PPR molecular structure, significantly reducing load-bearing capacity and strength.

 

Guide: How to Choose Between PPR and PE

 

 

The key to choosing correctly between these two materials lies in defining the application scenario.

Choose PPR Fittings if your project involves:
- Building Interior Hot/Cold Water Pipes: This is the traditional strength of PPR, especially for residential, hotel, and hospital water supply systems.
- Heating Systems: Such as connections between underfloor heating loops and manifolds, where high-temperature resistance is needed.
- Limited Budget & Exposed Pipelines: PPR's rigidity is better for exposed installation, and fusion equipment costs are lower.

Choose PE Fittings (especially electrofusion series) if your project involves:
- Municipal Underground Water/Gas Mains: This is PE's primary domain, where its flexibility and reliable electrofusion connections suit complex underground environments.
- Large-Scale Outdoor Irrigation/Water Transfer Projects: Requiring long-distance laying and weather resistance, PE offers the best cost-effectiveness.
- Harsh Environments or Seismic Risk: PE pipeline systems offer superior deformation resistance and higher safety.
