Polypropylene pipes are increasingly used in various communication systems. Due to their high technical characteristics, they have gained recognition and popularity among consumers. Among such products, Kalde polypropylene pipes, which are produced in Turkey, can be distinguished. They are used for hot and cold water supply systems, as well as for the installation of sewer facilities and air conditioning systems.
Product marking
In order to find out the scope of a particular Calde pipe, you should pay attention to the special letter abbreviation:
- PPH: pipes of this marking are intended for the installation of cold water supply and ventilation systems;
- PPB: products used for heating and hot water systems;
- PPR: universal pipes, used for various systems.
Products of PPB and PPR modifications are reinforced with fiberglass or aluminum.
Types of Kalde polypropylene pipes
Polypropylene pipes of the Turkish manufacturer Kalde in RussianThe market is presented in several versions.
-
Unreinforced pipe. It is used in cold water supply and air conditioning systems. The PPH pipe is easy to install. To do this, you only need scissors and a soldering iron for polypropylene.
- Kalde Stabi pipe (outside diameter reinforced with aluminum foil). Used for laying heating and hot water systems. When welding, these products must be cleaned.
- Kalde SUPER PIPE pipe (reinforced on the inner diameter with aluminum foil). This product has the same functional characteristics as the Kalde Stabi pipe. It differs only in appearance.
- Kalde fiber pipe (reinforced with fiberglass). These products do not require special stripping before installation, have low thermal conductivity, and are easy to install.
Specifications
Calde pipes are produced from block polypropylene. Their diameter varies from 20 to 110 mm. Products have a smooth surface and white or light gray color. Polypropylene pipes "Calde" have plasticity, resistance to chemical and abrasive substances and temperature extremes, have excellent antistatic and mechanical qualities. Products are made of material that is absolutely harmless to the human body.
Pipes reinforced with aluminum foil are not prone to rust, limescale, and have good throughput. Product specifications,reinforced with fiberglass, have positive reviews. Pipes "Calde" of this type have high qualities of operational ability, noise absorption, resistance to external negative phenomena, low thermal conductivity. These products have a double layer of polypropylene, inside which a reinforcing material is laid - fiberglass, which gives the pipe hardness.
Pipes are used for air conditioning of industrial premises, in the creation of drinking systems and heating. They are simple and easy to install. When welding them, no pre-cleaning is required. Professionals, in order to avoid the formation of bubbles at the joints during operation, still advise stripping pipes before welding. You can use such products in various climatic conditions.
Advantages of pipes
Calde pipes have the following advantages:
- versatility;
- resistance to the formation of deposits in the cavity, to chemical reagents;
- light and easy to install;
- reinforcing layer prevents oxygen from entering heating systems, which prevents corrosion of radiators;
- low price compared to similar materials.
