Proper Integration of Copper Tubing/Components with PP-R Piping Materials for Plumbing Applications

PPI Issues Tech Report; Aquatherm Provides Video, Additional Resources

Copper can be aggressive and doesn't always treat other piping systems — or itself — well at high temperatures, flow velocities and chlorine levels. The Plastics Pipe Institute's (PPI's) Building & Construction Division recently posted a new publication on the topic:

PPI TN-57/2018: Proper Integration of Copper Tubing and Components with PP-R Piping Materials for Plumbing Applications

It targets users of polypropylene random (PP-R) piping systems for domestic hot water plumbing applications and provides impartial, important information for domestic hot water recirculation (DHWR) systems integrating both PP and copper (Mixed Systems).

Aquatherm also provides many resources on the topic.
