Question 1

What is the Thomson PPR Pipe PN16 50mm × 4m used for?

Accepted Answer

This pipe is designed for water supply systems, including risers, ring mains, and equipment connections. With a 50 mm diameter and PN16 rating, it balances flow capacity with ease of handling for both residential and industrial piping, and it supports hot and cold water installations.

Question 2

What are the key specifications of this pipe?

Accepted Answer

Diameter: 50 mm; Length: 4 m; Material: PPR; Pressure rating: PN16 (up to 16 bar); Smooth interior for efficient flow; Fusion-weld joints for fast, reliable installations; recyclable and non-toxic materials; suitable for potable water and various water systems.

Question 3

What does PN16 mean in practical terms for this pipe?

Accepted Answer

PN16 means the pipe is designed to withstand up to 16 bar of operating pressure. This makes it suitable for medium-pressure water distribution questions, while still being lightweight and easy to install.

Question 4

Can this pipe be used for both hot and cold water, and is there a temperature limit?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the pipe is suitable for hot and cold water systems. PPR materials are known for good temperature resistance in typical building water systems, and the smooth interior helps maintain water quality under varied conditions.

Question 5

How does the smooth interior benefit water flow?

Accepted Answer

A smooth interior reduces friction and minimizes the risk of pipe scaling, which helps maintain steady flow rates and reduces maintenance needs over time.

Question 6

How should I install this pipe and join it to fittings?

Accepted Answer

Use compatible 50 mm PPR fusion fittings and perform heat-fusion (welding) joints. Cut the pipe to length, clean the ends, and follow proper fusion procedures with a suitable fusion tool to ensure leak-free joints. Support and secure the pipe along its run to prevent movement.

Question 7

What makes this PPR pipe durable and long-lasting?

Accepted Answer

The durable PPR material resists corrosion, chemicals, and high temperatures. It has a long service life, is resistant to cracking, and features a scale-resistant interior that helps maintain performance over time.

Question 8

Is this pipe safe for drinking water and environmentally friendly?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The pipe is made from non-toxic, recyclable materials designed for potable water use and general water distribution, aligning with eco-conscious design principles.

Question 9

What fittings and tools should I use with this pipe?

Accepted Answer

Use 50 mm PPR fusion fittings rated for PN16. Employ a compatible PPR fusion tool or machine for heat-welding joints, and ensure all connections are clean and properly supported during installation.

Question 10

What are common use cases for residential vs industrial settings?

Accepted Answer

In residential settings, it’s suitable for hot and cold water distribution in homes, multi-story buildings, and water risers. In industrial contexts, it can be used for equipment connections and medium-pressure distribution where PN16-rated piping is appropriate.

Question 11

How does this pipe compare to other PPR pipes available on Fepy?

Accepted Answer

This Thomson PPR Pipe offers a PN16 rating with a 50 mm diameter and a 4 m length, along with a smooth interior and fusion-weld installation. Other PPR options on Fepy may vary in diameter, PN rating (e.g., PN20), or length; consider your pressure requirements, run length, and compatibility with available fittings when comparing.

Question 12

Is this an economical choice for water piping projects?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The combination of lightweight handling, fast fusion-weld installations, durable PPR material, and long service life generally leads to lower installation time and reduced maintenance costs, delivering strong value over the life of the system.
