3. Foil reinforcement reduces the thermal expansion of pipes, so these products can withstand liquid heating to + 95 ° C. Scope of their widest.

Installation. When choosing polypropylene pipes, it is important to know about the nuances of their connection. The joints are welded using special soldering irons, and turns and branching are made by installing fittings. The most difficult to install are pipes, reinforced with aluminum foil.
