How big is the PPR pipe for general home improvement water pipes
Generally, home improvement water pipes use 4-point pipes and 6-point pipes. For example, the indoor water main pipe uses 6-point pipes, and 4-point pipes are enough for water distribution pipes. There is no need to choose larger-sized water pipes.
1.Household management generally uses 6 divisions
2. Use 4 pipes for sinks, toilets, showers, etc.
3. Use 6 pipes for cold water pipes and 4 pipes for hot water pipes
PPR water pipes mainly have 4 branch pipes, 6 air pipes, 1-inch pipes, 2-inch pipes, 3-inch pipes, and 4-inch pipes. The diameters of their cross-sections are 2.0cm, 2.5cm, 3.2cm, 6.3cm, 9.0cm, and 11.0cm, so the appropriate PPR tube should be selected according to the actual use.
What should be paid attention to when purchasing PPR pipe
Look color:
The color of a good PPR water pipe is smooth and even, without variegation.
Smell:
The PPR pipe is polypropylene. The good quality pipe has no smell, and the poor pipe has a strange smell and is likely to mix with polyethylene instead of polypropylene.
Touch:
100% of good PPR water pipes are PPR raw materials (no additives), pure texture, smooth surface, smooth feel, and fake PPR pipes feel smooth. Coarse particles are likely to be mixed with impurities.
Pinch:
The PPR tube has a certain hardness, and the tube that can be pinched and deformed is definitely not a PPR tube.
Quantity:
Use a vernier caliper to measure whether the wall thickness of the pipe is standard and uniform. Generally, high-quality pipes produce in strict accordance with relevant requirements.
Listen:
The landing sound of the PPR tube is dull, and the landing sound of the pseudo-PPR tube is clearer.
Pressure:
Good PPR tubes have good “resilience”. It breaks easily, not a good PPR tube. However, it is not that even the best PPR tube can break when the temperature is lower than 10 degrees.
Burning:
PPR tubes mixed with impurities such as recycled plastics in the raw materials will produce black smoke and have a pungent smell. Moreover, good materials do not emit black smoke and a peculiar smell after burning, and the melt after burning is still very clean.
