Specifications

Material: Polypropylene Random Copolymer (PPR-C Type 3) — non-toxic, corrosion-resistant, and food-grade thermoplastic.
Outer Diameter: 50mm — suitable for main distribution lines and high-demand plumbing systems.
Pressure Rating (PN20):
- 20 bar (290 psi) at 20°C (68°F).
- 10–12 bar for continuous hot water applications up to 70°C.
- Can handle short-term temperature peaks up to 95°C.
Wall Thickness: Approximately 8.3mm for enhanced pressure and temperature performance.
Joining Method: Heat fusion (socket welding) — forms seamless, permanent, and leak-proof joints stronger than the pipe itself.
Service Life: Over 50 years under normal working conditions.
