1. Definition and Structure of PPR Sockets
- A socket joint is the core connecting component in PPR piping systems
- Consists of a female (recessed) end and male (protruding) end, joined via heat fusion welding
- ifan Pipeline’s sockets use German imported raw materials, compliant with ISO 9001 standards
2. Key Advantages of PPR Sockets
- Leak-proof Design: Fusion creates monolithic structure, eliminating leakage risks of threaded joints
- Temperature Resistance: Handles -20℃ to 95℃ long-term temperature variations
- Устойчивость к коррозии: Chemically inert material suitable for acidic/alkaline fluids
- Easy Installation: Requires no specialized tools, installable by single operator
3. Comparison of Socket Types
| Type | Application Scenarios | Advantages | Precautions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Straight | Linear pipe connections | Low cost, high versatility | Control insertion depth |
| Elbow | 90° directional changes | Built-in flow design reduces resistance | Avoid forced bending |
| Tee | Branch line connections | One-piece structure stronger | Pressure distribution |
| Reducer | Transition between sizes | Gradual design minimizes turbulence | Match pressure ratings |
4. Installation Process
- Cut pipe and clean ends
- Heat socket and pipe ends (260℃±5℃) with professional welder
- Insert quickly and hold for 10-15 seconds
- Pressure test after cooling (0.6MPa for 1 hour recommended)
5. Common Applications
- Residential plumbing systems (hot/cold water supply)
- Solar water heater connections
- Industrial circulating water systems
- Underfloor heating manifolds
6. ifan Pipeline Solutions
- Full range of socket sizes (DN20-DN110)
- Custom sizes available (e.g., DN75×32 reducers)
- Free welding training videos and technical manuals
7. FAQs
Q: Can PPR sockets weld with other materials?
A: Only compatible with PPR. Use transition fittings for metal/PEX connections
Q: How to fix failed welds?
A: Cut off defective section and re-weld with new socket
Q: What’s the service life?
A: Over 50 years under normal conditions
