When installing PPR fittings, there are several important points to keep in mind:
- Proper preparation: Make sure that the pipe ends and fittings are clean and free of debris before installation.
- Correct sizing: Ensure that you are using the correct size fittings for your pipes. PPR fittings come in different sizes, so make sure to match the fitting size with the pipe size.
- Heating: PPR fittings require heat to properly join with the pipe. Use a heating tool to heat the fittings evenly and avoid overheating, which can damage the material.
- Jointing: When inserting the pipe into the fitting, make sure to insert it all the way and hold it in place until the joint cools and solidifies.
- Pressure testing: After installation, pressure test the system to ensure that there are no leaks or other issues.
- Professional installation: If you are not experienced with PPR fittings, it may be best to hire a professional to install them to ensure that the job is done correctly.
