PP-R Loop Compensation – Reliability and Durability of the Installation

The PP-R loop compensation with a diameter of 20 mm is a key element of water supply and heating installations, designed for long-term and trouble-free operation. Made of high-quality polypropylene random (PP-R), it provides resistance to corrosion, high temperatures, and pressure. It is an ideal solution for both professional installers and end-users who value solid workmanship and ease of installation.

This element of the KAN-therm PP system allows for compensation of thermal expansion of the pipes, minimizing stress in the installation and preventing damage. This ensures that the installation remains stable and safe for many years. The loop compensation is designed to work in cold water (up to 20 bar), hot water (up to 10 bar), and central heating (up to 6 bar) installations, with a maximum medium temperature of up to 90°C.

Construction and application

The PP-R loop compensation is characterized by a simple construction, which facilitates its installation. It has two connections – plastic sockets designed for fusion welding. The use of this element is particularly important in the case of long pipe sections, where temperature changes can cause significant expansion or contraction of the material. The loop compensation absorbs these movements, protecting the pipes and fittings from damage. Additionally, its ability to absorb extensions up to 70 mm makes it indispensable in more demanding applications.

Product advantages in practice

• Durability and resistance: Made of polypropylene random (PP-R) provides high resistance to chemical corrosion and the effects of high temperatures and pressures.
• Flexibility: Compensates for thermal expansion of the pipes, minimizing stress in the installation and preventing damage.
• Easy installation: Connections using fusion welding guarantee the tightness and durability of the connections, and the procedure itself is relatively simple for an experienced installer.
• Versatility: Designed for cold water, hot water, and central heating installations.
• Compliance with standards: The product meets the requirements of PN‑EN 15874, which confirms its high quality and safety. It has CSTB, ITB, Lloyds, and PZH certificates, which further increase confidence in the product.
• Long-term warranty: The manufacturer offers a 10-year warranty (even 15 years in the case of individual construction), which demonstrates confidence in the product quality.
• Minimization of pressure loss: The lack of constrictions in the fitting design contributes to minimizing pressure loss throughout the installation – this is an important aspect for the efficient operation of the heating or water system.

PP-R loop compensation is an investment in a safe and reliable hydraulic installation that will serve for many years of trouble-free operation.
