Now available in North America for large scale piping applications including high-rise buildings, large chilled water systems, district energy, and water mains is Aquatherm Inc.’s polypropylene-random (PP-R) pressure pipe.
The pipe which has been used for nearly 40 years in over 70 countries, has been making inroads in the North American plumbing, HVAC, industrial markets.
To meet the rising demand for PP-R in larger and more ambitious projects, the company has extended its Greenpipe line up to 18-inch diameter, and the Climatherm line up to 24-inch diameter.
Designed for HVAC applications, Aquatherm Climatherm SDR 17.6 is now available in sizes ranging from 6 to 24-inch and Greenpipe, which is specifically engineered for potable water, is available in SDR 11 from ½ to 18-inch diameter. Greenpipe SDR 7.4 will still be available from ½ to 10-inch diameter. BD+C
