About The Wall Thickness Of PPR Pipe

At present, there are a lot of PPR pipes on the market, and different brands of pipes have different wall thicknesses. So some friends may ask whether the thicker the PPR pipe wall thickness, the better? IFAN will answer this question for you.

First of all, the choice of home improvement water pipes, under normal circumstances, the supervisor should use 6 pipes, and the pipes can choose 4 pipes. In order to ensure the flow of water, the branch pipes can also be divided into 6 pipes at first.
Secondly, the thinnest thickness of the cold water pipe is 2.9mm, and the thickest thickness of the hot water pipe is 6.5mm, but it is rarely used. The wall thickness standards of the PPR pipe cold and hot water pipes are also different. The thickness of the water pipe is not less than 4.4mm.
When selecting pipes, the cover of the nozzle should be opened to check whether the wall thickness is uniform, and it is not recommended to use thin-walled pipes in home improvement projects.
However, the wall thickness does not necessarily have high temperature and pressure resistance, and the thin wall does not necessarily have low temperature and pressure resistance. Generally speaking, home decoration uses more 6-point pipes with a wall thickness of 3.5 mm, although more and more people choose thick-walled pipes with a wall thickness of 4.2 mm. In fact, if it is a well-known brand, a water pipe with a wall thickness of 3.5mm is enough. On the contrary, some brand-name water pipes may be unreliable, but they are not absolute, depending on the quality of the water pipes. Therefore, from the perspective of pipe performance and service life meeting the standard, a pipe with a wall thickness of 3.5 mm is sufficient, while a pipe with a wall thickness of 4.2 mm will affect the water flow rate, thereby affecting the comfort of life. And the price is more expensive, there is no need to waste money.
