What are the advantages of PP-R and PP-RCT piping systems over traditional metal piping?
- Safety of potable water (when certified to NSF/ANSI/CAN 61) and long-term reliability (when certified to NSF/ANSI 14*)
- Resistance to corrosion, tuberculation, deposits
- Resistance to chlorine and chloramine disinfectants
- Durability and toughness to survive jobsite installations
- Heat-fused joints mean that no flame, glue, or solvents are used for joining
- Lightweight, easy to fabricate off-site, transport, and handle on the job
- Typically reduced product and installation costs as compared with metallic piping systems
- Natural insulator, low thermal conductivity
- No scrap value, avoiding jobsite theft
- Available in wide range of sizes
*Piping products are typically certified to NSF/ANSI 14 for physical, performance, and health effects requirements
