I’ve helped hundreds of clients choose between PPR and CPVC pipes. The right choice depends on your specific needs and budget constraints. PPR is generally better for hot water applications and long-term durability, while CPVC works well for budget-conscious cold water projects. PPR withstands higher temperatures and pressure, offers fused leak-proof joints, and has superior […]
I’ve seen too many plumbing disasters from old, leaky pipes. That frustration led me to discover PPR systems, which now solve these issues effortlessly for my clients at IFAN. A PPR piping system is a complete network made from Polypropylene Random Copolymer pipes and fittings, joined by heat fusion to create a seamless, leak-proof plumbing
I recall a client asking if they could use leftover PPR water pipes for a gas line project. I immediately advised against it due to significant safety risks. PPR pipes are fundamentally unsuitable for gas lines because their material properties cannot safely contain gas, leading to potential permeability, brittleness, and fire hazards. International building codes

I recently visited a factory where corroded metal air lines were contaminating their entire production line. This frustrating experience showed me why more industries are switching to PPR for compressed air systems. PPR pipes are excellent for compressed air systems because they handle pressures up to 20 bar at 20°C, resist corrosion completely, and prevent
I recently visited a factory where poor compressed air piping caused constant equipment failures. This experience showed me how crucial proper plumbing is for pneumatic systems. Compressed air plumbing is vital because it directly affects system efficiency, energy costs, and equipment reliability. The right piping materials, proper layout design, correct sizing, and regular maintenance work
I recently worked with a client who received non-compliant fittings that failed basic pressure tests. This experience taught me why international certification matters so much in our industry. International certification means a pipe fitting meets specific quality, safety, and performance standards set by global organizations. These certifications are proven through rigorous testing of materials, dimensions,
I’ve watched clients struggle with leaking reused fittings that caused expensive water damage. This made me research when threaded fittings can actually be safely reused. Threaded fittings can be reusable if they show no visible damage, have intact threads, and come from low-pressure applications. However, each reuse increases the risk of leaks due to thread
I’ve seen too many plumbing systems fail early due to corrosion. The damage and costs could have been avoided with proper prevention strategies. Preventing fitting corrosion requires selecting corrosion-resistant materials like plastic or stainless steel, controlling environmental factors like moisture and chemical exposure, applying protective coatings, and following regular maintenance schedules. Different materials need specific
I recently inspected a plumbing system where corrosion had caused extensive damage. This experience convinced me why corrosion-resistant fittings are essential for modern plumbing. Corrosion-resistant fittings are crucial because they prevent rust and chemical damage that can compromise plumbing systems. They extend system lifespan, reduce maintenance costs, protect water quality, and maintain performance even in
I’ve seen too many plumbing failures caused by wrong connection choices. Selecting the right pipe connection can save you from costly repairs and headaches down the line. Pipe connections are mainly divided into four categories: threaded, welded, flanged, and mechanical connections. Each type serves different purposes based on pipe material, pressure requirements, and application needs.
