PP-R Pipes for Water Installations – Reliability and Durability

VESBO PP-R (polypropylene) pipes are a proven choice for building hot and cold water supply installations, as well as central heating systems. They are characterized by high corrosion resistance, low internal roughness, and good thermal insulation. Made from high-quality PP-R copolymer, they ensure long-lasting and trouble-free operation. This particular model with a diameter of 20 mm and a wall thickness of 2.8 mm is designed to operate at a nominal pressure of PN16.

Properties and Application

VESBO PN16 20mmx2.8mm pipe is an element of the PP-R system, which finds application in both domestic installations and public utility facilities. Thanks to the standardized dimension ratio (SDR) of 7.4, the pipe maintains adequate stiffness and mechanical strength. The linear expansion coefficient of 0.15 mm/(m.K) should be taken into account when designing the installation to compensate for changes in pipe length due to temperature. The gray color of the pipe makes it easier to identify in the installation.

VESBO PP-R pipes are ideal for:

• Potable water installations – hot and cold
• Central heating systems
• Industrial installations (depending on operating parameters)
• Reference to EN ISO 15874 standard confirms compliance with European standards of quality and safety.

Installation and Design Features

VESBO PP-R pipes are installed using socket welding or mechanical fittings. Socket welding provides a durable and leak-proof connection of installation elements. A wall thickness of 2.8 mm ensures adequate pipe strength at PN16 pressure. Regular testing of the outer diameter, wall thickness, and ovality of the pipes guarantees high product quality and compliance with DIN 8077 and DIN 8078 standards. The pipe does not have a socket or cap – it is a section intended for self-connection with other elements of the PP-R system.
