Sometimes the pipe is not enough. we want to connect the PPR pipe and the PVC pipe. What is the correct way?
PPR pipes and PVC pipes cannot be bonded by hot melt or glue due to different materials.
Here’s why:
1. PVC pipe is called hard polyvinyl chloride. It is a common household drainage pipe. It is usually white and looks like a ppr pipe. The drainage pipe in the bathroom is mostly made of PVC pipe. It is glued and can quickly connect PVC tubing and fittings together.
2. The PPR tube is called polypropylene. The common plastic tap water pipe is made of ppr tube. Because it is healthy and environmentally friendly, it does not scale and does not leak water. It is an ideal new type of pipe to replace the traditional galvanized pipe. It is connected by a hot melt connection and is not glued. If you force the two pipes together, the effect is:
(1). Destroy the stability of the pipe. The molecular structure of the PPR pipe and the PVC pipe are different. Forcibly connecting together will accelerate the aging.
(2). PPR tube adhesive is very unreliable, need to use hot melt, in order to make the pipe fittings do not leak. After being glued, there is no problem for a short time. The long-term use is especially in the summer. When the water consumption of the residents increases, the instantaneous pressure of the pressurized water supply will cause the pipe to rupture and cause a pipe burst phenomenon, causing huge property losses to the user.
