Q: What should be done if somebody accidentally drills a hole on the pipe?
A: If the damaged part of the pipe is not concealed yet (before the pressure test
is conducted), the recommended procedure is to cut out that part and replace it
by a new part through normal welding of a socket.
Q: How can we repair the pipe if there is a hole on it?
A: If it is a nail or a drill hole (10.5 mm deep max) you may use "Suitall PP-R Repair Kit" to repair the hole on the pipe. Please contact our Technical Department by clicking here for more/detailed information.
Q: What is the expansion for the hot water applications?
A: Under a temperature of 50°C, 1 m. of PN 20 pipe elongates 4.5 mm.
This value is 0.9 mm for 1 m. of PN 25 Al foiled pipe for 50°C.

Q: What is the service life (life span) of SUITALL PP-R piping system for different pressure groups?
A: PP-R pipes have a service life of 50 years according to DIN Standards for in house applications. To have detailed information for different temperatures and pressure rates, please Contact Us
Q: Are SUITALL PP-R pipes used for drinking water?
Are they hygienic /healthy?
A: PP-R products can safely be used for drinking water. SUITALL PP-R products have got all International Approvals (i.e. SKZ, DVGW, Hygiene Institute,etc.) as well as the approvals of the sales territories.
Q: Are SUITALL pipes UV resistant?
A: Normal SUITALL products are produced with UV stabilisers.

Q: Does SUITALL PP-R piping system burn?
A: SUITALL pipes and fittings comply and are classified under the requirements of the fire classification, B2 (Normally inflammable) according to DIN 4102. In case of a fire outbreak of temperature >800°C, under ideal conditions, with sufficient oxygen, only carbon dioxide and water vapour are produced as the raw material of PP-R is a hydrocarbon chain. Toxic fumes or dioxin will not be emitted.
Q: Should any precaution be taken for the installations at low temperatures?
A: Insulation is recommended for the temperatures under 0°C.
Q: What is the product range of SUITALL PP-R system?
A: SUITALL PP-R pipes and fittings are produced between
Ø20 mm (1/2") – Ø50 mm (1 1/2").
Q: What are the production standards of SUITALL PP-R?
A: Following standards are used for the production of SUITALL pipes and fittings:
DIN 8077 |
Polypropylene Pipes, Dimensions |
DIN 8078 |
Polypropylene Pipes, General Quality Requirements and Testing |

Q: How can we connect SUITALL products to other metal systems?
A: SUITALL PP-R system can be connected to other metal systems easily by a flange or a metal adaptor. (BS 6920)
Q: Should there be a standard pressure test application after the installation of
SUITALL PP-R system?
A: Yes. After installing SUITALL PP-R piping system, it is necessary to go through a
pressure test. Unlike metal pipes, SUITALL PP-R, like all other plastic piping
systems, has to follow different pressure test procedure owing to their mechanical
properties of expansion when subject to pressure, temperature difference and
coefficient of expansion. (Test procedure acc. To DIN 1988 PART 2 or
BS 6700:1977). For detailed information,
Q: Is insulation necessary for hot water applications?
A: Normally it is not obligatory for the plumbers; to make the insulation since the thermal
conductivity of PP-R piping systems is lower compared to metal piping systems
(0.24 W/mK). For further information Contact Us
Q: What is the difference between PN 20 and PN 25 pipes due to the application areas?
A: Life span of PN 25 is longer than PN 20 pipes under the same temperatures and
pressure conditions. Especially for the exposed installations, as the expansion of
PN 25 pipes are 1/5 of PN 20 pipes, sagging and snaking problems are avoided.
Q: Are different colours available for SUITALL PP-R piping system?
A: At present. SUITALL PP-R piping system is produced in off-white colour only.
