  • PN10 - used for cold water supply with water temperature up to 20 ° C;
  • PN16 - used for cold and low-temperature hot water supply systems, not higher than 60 ° C;
  • PN20 - are used for cold and hot water supply, with a working temperature of water up to 70 ° C.

Maximum operating conditions (working pressure and water temperature) will reduce the initial performance of the product*.
*see operating requirements in accordance with GOST 32415-2013

Technological features

The production process on Krauss Maffei extrusion lines makes it possible to achieve melting of raw materials at low temperatures, and contributes to the preservation of the physical and mechanical properties of polypropylene products. Technical characteristics distinguish pipes from analogues:

  • minimal degradation of the material;
  • high breaking characteristics;
  • good absorption of vibration, noise;
  • resistance of the inner and upper layer to alkalis and acids;
  • the maximum temperature of the transported medium for single-layer pipes is up to 80°C;
  • ultimate pressure 2 MPa;
  • reduce heat loss by up to 20%;
  • seamless design;
  • easy transport due to light weight.

How to choose

Need help choosing the right option? You can buy a polypropylene pipe for water supply wholesale and retail and order goods from a warehouse by contacting SLT AQUA distributors. Our experts will advise you on cooperation issues, orient you in terms of pipe sizes, type, and arrange delivery in the shortest possible time to anywhere in our country.

The global transition from metal to polypropylene began at the end of the last century. Pipes made from this material have high technical characteristics:

  • resistance to main pressure;
  • immunity to temperature indicators up to + 95 ° С;
  • easy installation and the possibility of laying in any room.

If your choice fell on such products for cold water supply or for laying a hot circuit, you don’t have to worry that they will freeze at sub-zero temperatures. Density characteristics allow you to endure almost any drops. In addition, polypropylene pipes are also used for heating, and this system has a completely different temperature.

Types and characteristics of pipes

The choice of polypropylene pipes for cold or hot water supply depends on many factors. There are several varieties on the market, the labeling will tell about their belonging:

  • РРН - this marking indicates the use of "homopropylene" in production. It is possible to use such products for cold water supply and ventilation, they are highly durable;
  • РРВ - "block copolymer" is used in production. Also a durable type of lines used for cold and hot water supply;
  • PPS is the most durable type of pipe used in difficult conditions.

On a note. The coloring of polypropylene materials deserves special attention. Today, manufacturers offer the consumer four options, black, green, gray and white. No semantic load is carried by more than one species except for a black tint. This marking means that they have high resistance to ultraviolet radiation.

Determining the diameter of the mains, what size should I choose for the water supply?

The choice of pipe diameter for laying cold water supply is determined by the general standards adopted in construction. Usually it is 20, 25 or 32 mm. Actually, the same indicators are also applicable for supplying hot water, and also partially for supplying coolant to radiators in central or autonomous heating of a house.

When making a choice, it is necessary to be guided not only by the type of pipes, but also by the availability of equipment for welding. The fact is that not all "soldering irons" have nozzles of different calibers. Accordingly, you need to choose the diameter for the soldering of which there are such inserts in the kit.

If the equipment has it, then you can combine the laying of the water supply. Products with a diameter of 32 mm are mounted from the supply riser, and an element of a smaller diameter cuts into the wiring to the mixers in the sink or in the bathroom.

On a note. Using a combined approach in a cold water supply gasket, you can not only save on the purchase of material, but also increase the pressure in the system.

Quality in accordance with GOST 52134-2003

All polypropylene pipes are produced in accordance with GOST. These indicators guarantee a high service life and reliability of the system. However, not everyone can meet the requirements, but only those that are properly stored and transported from the manufacturer to the warehouse in the store. If all the rules were observed, then the pipes will last at least half a century.

A time interval of 50 years characterizes hot water mains. In a cold supply system, the material can last at least 100 years. At the same time, the technical characteristics assigned by GOST allow "polypropylene pipes to feel calm in the most difficult conditions. They are not afraid of pressure surges characteristic of water supply systems and individual heating.

But not all manufacturers produce certified goods. Therefore, before choosing products, always look at the labeling and purchase only those that have a stamp on compliance with the standards stated in GOST.

On a note. According to GOST standards, polypropylene pipes have high sound absorption rates. That is, if you choose them for laying water in the house, then you can also count on reducing the noise that characterizes almost all water pipes in multi-storey buildings.

Reinforced polypropylene, in the work of the plumbing system

There is such an offer on the market. The technical characteristics of pipes with a reinforcing layer are slightly higher. You can choose these both for laying cold water in the house, and hot. The material is able to withstand high temperatures, and a nominal pressure of 2.5 MPa.

Reinforced polypropylene pipes can have a perforated or smooth structure of the intermediate layer. This affects the selection and definition of quality. The perforated structure is created by laying aluminum foil with small holes. During the production process, the molten polymer is distributed over the molds, spreading over them, creating a strong bond between plastic and metal. Marking - PPR.

Perforation of polypropylene and foil makes it possible to do without glue during installation, while the stability of operation and service life are not reduced at all. Reinforced pipes also reduce noise in the water supply. You can further reduce noise by closing sewer and water pipes with a drywall box.

Depending on the type of production, the foil layer is located in the middle of the layer or closer to the surface. Such a distinction in production forces the craftsmen to carry out the installation of pipes in different ways. If the choice was made in favor of the material with the location of the foil closer to the surface, then during installation, you will have to carefully clean the joint, to the depth of soldering. When using products with internal reinforcement, it is necessary to trim the ends to prevent any contact of the foil with water. If you decide to choose reinforced pipes, then be prepared for the fact that their installation is a little more complicated. Therefore, it is better to refuse independent work.

More recently, global manufacturers have offered the market a new solution in the production of polypropylene pipes. A material with an intermediate layer of fiberglass entered the market. The technical characteristics of the novelty speak of a low coefficient of linear expansion, simple installation, and the service life of the product is proportional to all pipes existing today.

Selecting a pipe manufacturer by manufacturer

Most experts prefer Turkish manufacturers. Details of companies from this country are reliable and durable. If you choose the right insulation for water pipes , then the highways will lie even in an unheated country house. But this does not mean that products from Turkey are the most reliable. In order for the service life declared by the manufacturer to meet the standards, it is necessary to focus not on cost but on quality. After all, each company has a line of inexpensive materials with low performance.

You can choose pipes from manufacturers from Germany. Companies from this country always monitor the quality, but again, take into account the cost. The well-known company Wefatherm offers a long service life and high performance of its products. This company supplies the market with a wide range of products, not only pipes, but also fittings. Therefore, there will be no problems with the choice of components.

Long service life and reliability in operation of products from Aquaterm GmbH. This company manufactures a wide range of products. Elements of highways are used for laying any plumbing systems in an apartment or a private house. Many experts distinguish this company as a market leader.

Of course, all companies with a "name" differ in the cost of their products. Of the alternative options, the masters recommend paying attention to the Faser company. This is also a manufacturer from Germany, supplying the market with materials with a diameter of 20 to 250 mm with and without reinforcement. Stabi pipes are considered a good option. This company does not stand out for its diversity and offers the consumer pipes from 16 to 110 mm, but all products are of high quality and are used for laying in the most complex systems.

The choice of a pipe for cold water supply must be carried out correctly, since there are many offers on the market for this. When purchasing products, remember GOST, be guided by the standard pressure indicators in your water supply system and select pipes according to your financial capabilities.

Metal pipelines for water are gradually being squeezed out of the market. They are replaced by polypropylene pipes for cold and hot water supply, the service life of which is much higher, as the manufacturers themselves assure. The editors of the site dealt with the issue of choosing products for water supply in detail and determined by what parameters it is best to choose them and how to professionally connect them.

There is a wide range of polypropylene products on the market.

Polypropylene pipes for cold and hot water supply: scope

Today, polypropylene pipes are very common in various areas:

The opinion that any polypropylene pipe is suitable for water supply is erroneous. Manufacturers produce several types of products, each of them has its own role. Polypropylene products are designated by the letters "PP".

When constructing new water pipes, you can immediately give preference to this product, and not choose between polypropylene and metal. Also, the products are widely used if it is necessary to replace an outdated water supply system. The most common application for intra-house and intra-apartment networks.

Advantages and disadvantages of polypropylene pipes

It should be noted that this type of product has a lot of advantages. That is why she gained popularity so quickly. Main advantages:

  • resistance to corrosion;
  • resistance to acids and biologically active substances;
  • the absence of a reaction makes it possible to obtain pure water at the outlet without impurities, iron content, which has retained its color and taste;
  • the water pressure is stable, since the hydraulic resistance inside the product is small;
  • installation is very simple, in addition, you can easily create a system of any complexity;
  • the material is not afraid of high and low temperatures;
  • low cost;
  • the reduced level of thermal conductivity avoids heat loss.

Speaking about the material, it is impossible not to note its shortcomings. These include:

  • the need to carefully select products for a particular pipeline, otherwise the material will become unusable very quickly, and gaps are not excluded;
  • the presence on the market of a large number of cheap low-quality products;
  • the need to have a special device for processing joints and be able to work with it.

There are practically no drawbacks to this type of product. Serious ones are not associated with the pipes themselves, but with defects in their production.

Types of polypropylene pipes

When it is important to understand that for hot water it is necessary to choose one type of product, and for cold water another. The choice of products of the same type is a common mistake, which often causes a system break.


Distinguish products:

  • according to the material of manufacture;
  • type of reinforcement.

In order to choose the right material, let's get acquainted with the nuances of its production.

According to the material of manufacture

When purchasing pipes for your own needs, you will definitely pay attention to the marking. These signs and letters speak volumes. First of all - about the material of manufacture. There are several types of products:

  • Random copolymer, labeled as PP-R. Made of polypropylene copolymer and designed for hot water supply.
  • Homopolypropylene, labeled as PP-H. Withstand high operating pressure, so they are widely used in industry. Suitable for cold water supply.
  • Block copolymer, marking PP-B. Are applied to floor heating systems and cold water supply systems.
Important! If the pipeline is external, it is better to pay attention to the presence of an ultraviolet-resistant sheath, which will allow the pipes to last an order of magnitude longer.

The table below shows the safety factor for products of various types:

As you can see, PP-H type pipes are highly dependent on the water heating temperature.

By type of reinforcement

Reinforcement is an indicator that affects the coefficient of thermal expansion, lowering it. It is done in one of several ways:

  • using fiberglass (marked with the letters FB);
  • aluminum foil when placed closer to the inner edge of the pipe (marking AL);
  • aluminum foil when placing the layer closer to the outer edge (marking AL);
  • using a composite (GF marking).

If the aluminum layer is located closer to the top edge, you will need to clean the edges before work. The highest quality elements are reinforced with fiberglass or composite.

Main technical characteristics of polypropylene water pipes

Let's talk about the main characteristics of pipes, according to which the buyer makes a choice in the store:

  • diameter of polypropylene pipes. Products with a diameter of 15 to 1200 mm are produced, which are designed to provide water to both a private and an apartment building;
  • PN marking will allow you to choose a product for both cold and hot water, as well as for a certain water pressure (the table is shown below);
  • inner diameter or wall thickness. The thicker the wall, the more water pressure it can withstand;
  • length. This parameter does not have a qualitative value, however, we clarify that all factory products have a length of 6 meters.

How to choose the diameter of polypropylene pipes for water supply

In everyday life, water pipes from 20 to 32 mm are considered the most used. The diameter depends on the length of the water pipe as follows:

  • more than 30 meters - Ø32 mm;
  • from 10 to 30 meters − Ø25 mm;
  • up to 10 meters - Ø20 mm.

The selection of the diameter of PP pipes is also carried out on the basis of the following conditions:

  • pressure values;
  • the length of the water supply system;
  • number of connections and turns;
  • the number of users.

If the design is complex, it will be necessary to increase the diameter of the pipe. The same law works with a significant increase in consumers.

Which polypropylene pipes are best for plumbing

The plumbing system is divided into two types:

  • cold water supply;
  • hot water supply.

Very often in private houses only cold water is supplied, which is also supplied to the boiler, and then hot water is distributed to the baths with a separate branch. The use is unjustified, since their service life is not so long. In addition, water reacts with the material, rust is formed, reduced.

Polypropylene pipes for hot water

Plastic pipes for hot water must withstand high pressure and not be deformed when heated.

Important! Polypropylene softens at a temperature of +140°C.

The manufacturer always indicates that the maximum allowable water temperature inside the system can reach +95°C.

For hot water supply, it is better to use a reinforced pipe, because it is protected from expansion and has a longer service life. The highest quality reinforcement occurs using fiberglass or composite. The most acceptable product for hot water is marked PN-20 or PN-25.

Polypropylene pipes for cold water

High-quality polypropylene products can effectively serve up to 50 years as an element for cold water supply. She has performed admirably.

For these purposes, you can use products with any marking, it is important that they are of high quality. It is enough to choose the right diameter.

Features of the use of polypropylene pipes in the heating system

When standard, products of the following external diameters are used:

  • for the "warm floor" system - Ø16−18 mm;
  • for water supply pipes − Ø20 mm;
  • for risers − Ø25 mm.

The master should pay special attention to the linear expansion of the product, because only hot water will be pumped through it. The higher its temperature, the shorter the service life of propylene pipes for water supply and heating. Choose products with a low coefficient of thermal expansion.

Installation and wiring of polypropylene pipes: what are the nuances

To work with PP pipes, you need to have two important tools: a pipe cutter and a special soldering iron. Using the example of pipeline installation, we will show the nuances of work.

IllustrationDescription of actions
Cutting is done on the floor or table. To ensure that the size is correct, consider the height of the clips and bends, as well as other elements.
You can draw a map of the system directly on the wall with a pencil or pen, and also pre-fix the clips that hold the plastic pipes.
After the part is warmed up, there is only 4 seconds to solder it with the pipe. The soldering iron must only be used with gloves.
Quickly connect the two parts and fix them. You can pre-treat the soldered edges with a solvent.

The main problem is not to create hard-to-reach places for yourself to work on weight. The full video is available at the link:

What determines the service life of polypropylene pipes for water supply

There are several main reasons for the decrease in the service life of products:

  • constant exposure to sunlight;
  • high operating temperature of polypropylene pipes;
  • increased pressure in the system;
  • low quality material.

To avoid problems, give preference to well-known manufacturers.

The main manufacturers of polypropylene products for water supply

In the Russian PP pipe market, you can most often find domestic manufacturers, as well as products from China, Turkey and the EU. The highest prices are from European manufacturers, and Russian ones are considered the most budgetary.

Good quality and the best price can be offered by such well-known brands as:

  • blue ocean (China);
  • FIRAT (Turkey);
  • Kalde (Turkey);
  • Jakko (Turkey);
  • PROAQUA (Russia);
  • PBK (Russia);
  • Aquatherm (Germany).

The same companies also produce connectors.

For many years, the organization of hot water and heating systems in our homes was carried out exclusively using metal pipes. They are still used today, but due to their shortcomings, they are quickly being replaced by pipelines made of modern materials. This article will introduce you to the types, features and properties, as well as the scope of polypropylene pipes - a material that has proven itself in heating systems and hot water supply lines. To date, hot water is actively used by construction companies when creating engineering communications of a new generation. And in this article we will answer the question of how reliable and safe the use of polypropylene is in our homes.

What are the advantages of polypropylene pipes for hot water

Polypropylene pipes are a winning option in comparison not only with metal pipes, but also with similar products from other polymers.

Analysis of the characteristics and properties of polypropylene pipes gave excellent results, allowing us to talk about their versatility. The scope of such pipes is quite wide, although most often polypropylene pipes are used when laying cold and hot water systems.

Let's get acquainted with the technical characteristics of polypropylene pipes for hot water:

    melting ability;

    the material loses its shape and becomes soft at +140 °C;

    melting occurs at +175 °C;

    high wear resistance;

    relative hardness.

According to the manufacturer's data, the maximum operating temperature of polypropylene pipes for hot water is +95 °C. Consequently, the use of polypropylene is possible in any hot water or heating systems, since the temperature of the coolant in them, as a rule, never rises above the specified value.

The exception is the northern regions, where the water temperature in the systems can reach or even exceed +100 °C. But even in this case, nothing terrible will happen to the pipes, because the maximum operating temperature of the water is indicated with a margin.

What are the advantages of polypropylene pipes for hot water?

    Long service life - about 50 years, associated with the high strength of polypropylene pipes and their characteristic chemical resistance. For example, unlike metal, plastic is not attacked by acid-base substances contained in water and is absolutely resistant to corrosion.

    No blockages: The smooth inner surface of the pipes is not prone to the formation of lime and other deposits, as well as the accumulation of dirt.

    The low thermal conductivity of polypropylene reduces heat loss during water transport.

    Frost resistance. In case of freezing of polypropylene pipes, they are able to completely restore their original shape after thawing of the medium (see below the text about reinforced polypropylene pipes for hot water).

    Ease of installation. One of the important advantages of polypropylene pipes for hot water, which allows even a beginner to independently manage the organization of a hot water supply system without contacting a master.

    Easy to maintain, as they do not require special care. The need for tinting or preventive cleaning is extremely rare.

    Polypropylene pipes are made from environmentally friendly material, which, regardless of operating conditions, is non-toxic, does not harm the environment and does not affect the coolant in any way (does not change the chemical composition of water).

    Polypropylene is a fairly inexpensive material, which is also one of the important qualities.

    They don't make noise. Compared to steel pipes, polypropylene pipes are almost silent. This property of the material helps to create a more comfortable environment in the room, which in some cases plays an important role.

    Do not lose hardness at temperatures up to +140 °C. When heated above this value, the structure of polypropylene may become softer, but when the temperature load decreases, the material is completely restored.

Reinforced polypropylene pipes can certainly be called the most reliable when it comes to creating a hot water supply system. The reason for this is another important and useful property of polypropylene - it perfectly withstands thermal expansion, which allows you to hide communications in the walls.

Reinforced polypropylene pipes for hot water

So, one of the most important properties of polypropylene is its flexibility. But sometimes the free thermal expansion of pipes when they are heated is highly undesirable. This is true, for example, if a polypropylene pipe for hot water is walled up in a wall. In this case, elongation of the pipe can lead to damage to the finish, to cracks in the plaster.

Reinforcement is used to reduce the coefficient of thermal expansion of pipes. The material for this is aluminum foil or fiberglass.

In addition to the effect on the coefficient of linear expansion of polypropylene pipes for hot water, reinforcement also affects their thermal stability. Unlike ordinary pipes, reinforced pipes are protected from possible deformation when heated to temperatures close to +140 °C and excessive pressure.

Reinforcement of polypropylene pipes using aluminum foil has its drawbacks. When in contact with water, aluminum oxidizes, corrosion occurs at the ends of the pipes. In this regard, greater preference is given to the reinforcement of pipes with fiberglass. In this case, the flow of electrochemical processes inside the product is excluded, which prolongs its service life.

Advantages of fiberglass reinforcement of polypropylene pipes for hot water:

    No stripping is required during installation, this avoids the purchase of a special tool.

    The fiberglass layers are welded together (rather than glued) so that delamination cannot occur.

    Electrochemical processes are completely excluded, leading, in the case of reinforcement with aluminum foil, to its gradual destruction at the points of contact with water.

How to install polypropylene pipes for hot water

As mentioned above, ease of installation is one of the important advantages of polypropylene pipes for hot water. This means that even a person who has never done this before is capable of organizing a hot water supply system. And the following instruction will help you with this:

    The first stage includes marking and subsequent cutting of pipes. Moreover, to achieve even cuts, cutting is carried out with a special tool - it can be an electric jigsaw or scissors for cutting polypropylene pipes. After that, the ends are cleaned with sandpaper.

    Separate sections and elements of pipes are connected by welding, which makes it possible to achieve a monolithic joint. Connection of fittings with pipes is carried out under heating and with force.

    Installation of the pipeline and its connection to plumbing fixtures is carried out by pre-assembled sections of several elements (pipes and bends).

    Docking of polypropylene pipes with metal ones is carried out using special fittings or flanges.

    After finishing work, the hot water supply system should be checked under the maximum water pressure.

It is important to remember that polypropylene pipes cannot be connected to each other using threads. The strength of the thread in this case will be low, it will not work properly to tighten the connection, or excessive force will lead to deformation of the polypropylene.

The development of technologies in the field of organizing hot and cold water supply and heating currently gives us the opportunity to use high-quality and durable materials. Polypropylene pipes for hot water allow you to independently create a reliable hot water supply system without spending money on hiring specialists.

And a special stage in this process is the choice of the type of polypropylene pipes, which depends on the characteristics of the connections and the needs of the water supply.

Which polypropylene pipe to choose for hot water

Most of the characteristics that are important for the consumer are given to polypropylene by various additives: plasticizers and inhibitors. Based on the opinion of experts, four types of polypropylene pipes can be distinguished. The marking of such products, as a rule, begins with the name of the manufacturer, after which the Latin letters PP (polypropylene) always follow. The further combination of letters depends on the additives used in the production of the product.

To choose the right pipes, you need to know what properties these additives give them:

    PPH. This marking indicates that the pipe is made of a homopolymer. This material, although durable, is not heat-resistant, it does not withstand both strong heating and negative temperatures. Products made of PPH polypropylene are used to organize cold water systems, as well as air conditioning and ventilation.

    ppb. This is the designation of block copolymers of polypropylene, which are a mixture of polypropylene with polyethylene (about 30% of the total mass). PPB is not inferior in strength to PPH, but is much more thermally stable, especially at low temperatures. Pipes marked PPB are often used when laying underfloor heating.

    PPR (PPCR). The marking indicates that the product is made from polypropylene random copolymer. In its structure, this material contains ethylene molecules, which provides very high strength and thermal stability (both to elevated temperatures and to frost). Also PPR polypropylene has excellent chemical resistance. The properties of this type of polypropylene make it the most versatile and widely used in the organization of any water supply and heating systems.

    PPs. This type of polypropylene has high thermal stability and is often used in hot water and heating systems. The purchase of pipes with this marking is the best solution in terms of price / quality ratio.

So, we can make sure that it is preferable and correct to use different polypropylene pipes for different purposes.

When choosing products for the expected operating conditions, in addition to the type of polypropylene, one should take into account the technical characteristics of the elements of the future pipeline themselves. This information can also be gleaned from the labeling:

    PN10. Pipes with this marking are suitable for cold water supply. They are used when laying the pipeline, the water temperature in which will not exceed +20 ° C, and the pressure is 1 MPa.

    PN16. Such pipes are used for cold and hot water supply with temperatures up to +60 ° C and a pressure of 1.6 MPa.

    PN20. This is how universal pipes are marked, which are suitable for both cold and hot water with temperature and pressure parameters of +95 ° C and 2 MPa, respectively.

    PN25. This is a marking of a reinforced pipe designed for cold and hot water supply with a coolant temperature of up to +95 ° C and a nominal pressure of 2.5 MPa.
