Wavin PPR and PP-RCT plumbing system
Wavin PP-R/PP-RCT piping systems offer versatile solutions for water distribution, heating, and cooling in various settings. Made with advanced polypropylene, they resist high pressures and temperatures, making them suitable for many applications
An advanced PPR/PP-RCT pipe range for heating and cooling systems
Wavin PPR/PP-RCT is a robust welded jointing plumbing system ideal for a broad range of heating and cooling requirements. It’s particularly suited for underfloor heating and, if assembled according to instructions, for central heating. It prioritizes resilience and sustainability to deliver an eco-friendly, long-lasting solution.
The polyfusion welded fittings offers state of the art Type-4 PP-RCT composition in sizes ranging from 16 to 125 mm. This provides lightweight, high-strength performance and outstanding corrosion and scaling resistance. Larger sizes up to 250mm are available, these using secure butt fusion connection. Pipes are available in either PP-R or PP-RCT depending on customer and market preference.
Wavin PPR and PP-RCT pipes are lightweight and easy to handle, making installation faster and less labor-intensive. Welded jointing techniques create a single, leak-proof entity. The flexibility of these pipes makes them ideal for underfloor heating systems. They can be easily bent and routed to cover large areas without many joints. The range has good thermal insulation properties, meaning the plumbing pipes maintain their shape and size better under temperature changes. PPR and PP-RCT pipes don’t produce noise due to expansion and contraction, so the underfloor heating system operates silently, giving a quiet living environment. Underfloor heating systems using PPR and PP-RCT pipes distribute heat evenly, boosting comfort and energy efficiency. With excellent thermal conductivity, Wavin PPR and PP-RCT pipes can be used with a variety of heating sources, including boilers, heat pumps and solar thermal systems.
The more technologically advanced PP-RCT material has greater pressure resistance at high temperatures. The multi-layered PP-RCT pipe also has a smaller wall thickness than the PPR version, increasing the flow rate by a third. Its middle layer is reinforced with basalt fibers to limit thermal expansion, enabling expansion results that are three times lower than with PPR options.
The Wavin PPR/PP-RCT plumbing system offers a wide range of fittings in multiple pressure classes, and every option comes with a 10-year warranty.
Planning and specifying these systems is simple; calculation programs and BIM Revit content packages are available free of charge.
