PPR water pipes for home decoration have become very popular, but in the building materials market, there are sales recommendations for stainless steel water pipes that are durable and antibacterial, allowing the whole family to drink safe water? What is the difference between PPR pipes and stainless steel pipes? Which one should I choose?
Advantages and disadvantages of PPR tubes
PPR pipes are high-performance water pipes that are very suitable for ordinary home decoration.
The advantages of PPr
1. The joints and pipes are made of homogeneous hot melt, which is not easy to leak water, which is incomparable to many metal pipes!
2. The embedded parts are absolutely corrosion-free.
3. Moderate price and stable performance
Disadvantages of PPR water pipes
1. If PPR is not used for a long time, bacteria can easily breed in the water pipe.
2.Turn on the faucet, wash your hands directly, boil water for cooking, and let it sit for 30 seconds. Don't be afraid of running water or letting the water sit in the pipe for a long time, which may cause messy things to melt inside.
The durability of PPR pipes is lower than that of stainless steel pipes
3. Extreme pressure or climate (too cold or too hot), PPR pipes are not as good as metal pipes! PPR pipelines have solved the long-term leakage problem of pipeline connections in the water supply industry, making construction convenient and cost-effective. Although there are some shortcomings, it still has unique advantages.
The advantages of stainless steel water pipes
The service life of 01 stainless steel pipes is the longest among all water pipes, longer than copper pipes, and the same as that of buildings.
The inner wall of 02 stainless steel pipe is smooth, without plasticizers, not easily corroded, and does not breed bacteria, making it healthy and environmentally friendly.
03 thin-walled stainless steel water pipes have advantages such as light weight, no deformation, corrosion resistance, and no scaling. It is the best product in water pipes.
04 stainless steel has high strength, three times that of copper pipes and 8-10 times that of ppr pipes, and has good ductility and toughness.
05 stainless steel water pipes are non corrosive and have no excessive exudates, and can achieve zero pollution, making them the most hygienic water pipes.
1. The double clamp pressure fittings are designed with a flexible design concept, which ensures stable and reliable connections, strong resistance to external impact, and are suitable for various harsh environments such as foundation settlement and water hammer vibration. The double clamp pressure connection method, specifically designed for stainless steel water pipe connections, has been widely used in projects, abandoning traditional threaded connections, making the installation process simple, reliable, fast, and effectively saving labor costs;
2. The sealing performance has been greatly improved, with a working pressure of up to 2.5MP (the tap water pressure is only 0.4~0.6)
MP ), Can be maintenance free for life;
3. Advanced double clamping technology can completely eliminate the hidden dangers of tearing and tearing of joints in other threaded connections, on-site welding, and bonded water pipes due to thermal expansion and contraction. It can be used with confidence in environments with a temperature difference of -40 ℃ to 120 ℃ and a temperature difference of 160 ℃.
