Question 7

Accepted Answer

Match the socket size to your pipe diameter. Ensure the pipe ends are cut square, deburred, and free of debris. Use the recommended joining method for PPR (e.g., socket fusion or specified adhesive/heat processes) and perform a pressure test after installation to verify a leak-free connection.
