Polypropylene pipes are becoming more and more popular material in the construction industry every year. They are used for water supply, heating systems, pipelines for pumping aggressive liquids, etc. A distinctive feature of PP pipes is corrosion resistance, resistance to temperature and pressure changes, durability. Sediments do not accumulate on a smooth surface, so there are no problems with pipeline maintenance. To choose the most suitable polypropylene pipes, experts advise you to pay attention to several parameters.

How to choose polypropylene pipes

Structure. All polypropylene pipes can be divided into three types.

1. Single-layer pipes are made of pure polypropylene, such pipes are best suited for installing cold water pipes.
2. Fiberglass reinforcement allows you to increase the strength of the walls, this type of product copes well with high pressure and temperature (up to 90 ° C). They are used for heating systems in private houses.
3. Reinforcement with foil allows to reduce the thermal expansion of pipes, therefore such products can withstand heating the liquid up to + 95 ° C. They have the widest scope of application.

Mounting. When choosing polypropylene pipes, it is important to know about the nuances of their connection. The joints are welded using special soldering irons, and turns and branches are made by installing fittings. Pipes reinforced with aluminum foil are considered the most difficult to install. Experts recommend removing the metallized layer to the depth of welding.

How not to buy counterfeit. There are a lot of fake products on the Russian market, so a potential buyer should know several selection criteria. They will help reduce the risk of buying counterfeit products.

1. First of all, you should take a picture or remember exactly what the brand logo looks like. Pay attention to the size of the letters, font, color, number of capital letters. Very often, unscrupulous businessmen make elementary mistakes, redrawing the trademark of a well-known manufacturer.
2. On the official website, you need to study the range of products. Knowing the location of the marking and the color of polypropylene, it is easy to identify counterfeit products.
3. Please inspect the pipe samples carefully before purchasing. They should have the same thickness, a circular cross-section close to the ideal. The presence of depressions, sagging and other signs of poor-quality casting is not allowed.

We have selected 11 best manufacturers of polypropylene pipes in the rating. The products of these brands are widely represented in the Russian retail network. When compiling the rating, the opinion of experts and reviews of domestic consumers were taken into account.
