📢 Important Guidelines for PP Pipe and Fittings Installation

When installing Polypropylene (PP) pipe and fittings, it's crucial to follow the manufacturer's instructions and comply with Sections 605.11.1 through 605.11.3 to ensure safety and longevity.

Here's what you need to know:

1️⃣ Heat-Fusion Joints (Section 605.11.1):

Use socket-type heat-fused PP fittings, fusion outlets, butt-fusion PP fittings or pipe, or electro-fusion PP fittings.
Ensure joint surfaces are clean and free from moisture.
Allow the joint to cool undisturbed.
Follow standards ASTM F2389 or CSA B137.11 for proper joint making. 🔥🧩

2️⃣ Mechanical and Compression Sleeve Joints (Section 605.11.2):

Install these joints according to the manufacturer's installation instructions.
Ensure a secure and leak-free connection. 🔩💧

3️⃣ Threaded Joints (Section 605.11.3):

PP pipe itself should not be threaded.
Use PP transition fittings with copper alloy or stainless steel inserts molded in the fitting for connections to other piping materials.
This prevents damage and ensures durability. 🧵🔧

Why is this important?

Proper installation ensures the integrity and performance of your plumbing system.

Following these guidelines prevents leaks, enhances system longevity, and maintains compliance with industry standards. 💯🏡
