Polypropylene pipes are a truly innovative thing in the plumbing market. Polypropylene pipes confidently replaced metal water supply systems due to ease of working with them and possessing excellent technical characteristics. In addition, for their installation, you do not need to mess with welding, as it was before. Typically, polypropylene pipes are soldered using a special soldering iron. How to do it? Accurately adhere to the points of the instructions given below.
1. Draw a diagram
In addition to the exact display, the scheme of the future water system on paper, you need to accurately revised the installation sites of filters, cranes and other elements. And you need to do this competently and professionally. The advice of experienced plumbing will not interfere here.
2. Preparation of polypropylene pipes for soldering
The soldering apparatus after assembly for work requires installation on special legs. The polypropylene pipe before soldering should be carefully cut into fragments of the required length. Then you can start assembling pipe segments in a whole water system.
3. We proceed to soldering
Select the desired nozzle for a soldering apparatus, then insert a fragment of a polypropylene pipe and fitting into the device. Warm up both elements evenly, while the fitting and the pipe should be well fixed in a horizontal position.
After the fitting is heated to the desired temperature, you can insert a polypropylene pipe into it. The main thing is that the pipe does not overheat and does not pay. If you did everything right, then the process of soldering polypropylene pipes can be considered completed.
However, remember that soldering vertical compounds of watering elements made of plastic is an order of magnitude more difficult, you may need to be required. In this case, it is better to pay a specialist so that he did this work as it should.
