BENEFITS OF PP-R(CT)

Installers

Innovative by Design

PESTAN PP-R(CT) piping systems are designed for installation by trained professionals. With a focus on the installer, these systems are Innovative by Design and offer several benefits that make installing pipe safe, effective and less tiring.

Complete Piping Systems

PESTAN offers a full line of PP-RCT fittings keeping installation simple and providing an easy transition to other piping systems and equipment.

Lightweight Material

Weighing up to 80% less than traditional metal pipes PESTAN pipes are easy to handle and more cost effective to transport. Their light weight makes them easier to assemble making for a safe and less tiring installation.

Non-Shattering

Under normal operating temperatures, the pipes will not shatter when impacted or over-pressured. When temperatures fall to or below freezing, the impact resistance of the pipes decreases so the installers must use caution when handling.

Heat Fusion

During installation, there are no solders, solvents or glues required. PP-RCT is joined via a process known as heat fusion. During the fusion process, the pipe and fittings are heated under controlled temperatures and then joined. The molecules of the polymer flow together creating a seamless, permanent leak-free bond. No open flames are required and no toxic Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's) are emitted during the process. Heat fusion is a quick, safe joining

Saddle Outlet Fusion Joints

Even after the mains are set, branch lines can be easily added using saddle fusion joints. With Saddle Outlets, the branch is fused directly into the wall of the main. It is a time saver and provides lower pressure drop as compared to traditional reducing tee fittings.

Prefabrication and Transport

PESTAN PP-R(CT) pipes and fittings are ideal for prefabrication and transport without the risk of the pre-fab joints failing. The unique properties of PP-R(CT) pipe, combined with the permanent, leak free bonds created by joining with Heat Fusion, create monolithic system. These characteristics also help prevent damage from seismic activity or from environments exposed to vibrations such as cruise ships, trains and manufacturing facilities.
