In various communication systems, polypropylene pipes are increasingly being used. Due to their high technical characteristics, they have won recognition and popularity among consumers. Among these products can be distinguished polypropylene pipes "Calde", which are produced in Turkey. They are used for hot and cold water supply systems, as well as for the installation of sewage facilities and air conditioning systems.
Product labeling
In order to find out the scope of a particular Calde pipe, you should pay attention to a special letter abbreviation:
PPH: pipes of this marking are intended for the installation of cold water supply and ventilation systems;
PPB: products are used for the installation of heating systems and hot water supply;
PPR: universal pipes, used for the device of various systems.
Modifications PPB and PPR are reinforced with fiberglass or aluminum.
Types of polypropylene pipes Kalde
Polypropylene pipes of the Turkish manufacturer Kalde in the Russian market are presented in several versions.
Unreinforced pipe. It is used in cold water supply and air conditioning systems. PPH pipe is easy to install. All you need is a pair of scissors and a soldering iron for polypropylene.
Kalde Stabi pipe (reinforced with aluminum foil in outer diameter). It is used for laying heating and hot water systems. When welding, these products are subject to stripping.
Kalde SUPER PIPE pipe (reinforced with aluminum foil in inner diameter). This product has the same functional characteristics as the Kalde Stabi pipe. It differs only in appearance.
Kalde fiber pipe (fiberglass reinforced). These products do not need special cleaning before installation, have low thermal conductivity, and are easy to install.
Specifications
Calde pipes are made 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 completely harmless to the human body.
Pipes reinforced with aluminum foil are not subject to the formation of rust, limestone, and have good throughput. The technical specifications of fiberglass reinforced products have positive reviews. Calde pipes of this type have high qualities of operational ability, noise absorption, resistance to external negative phenomena, low thermal conductivity. These products have a double polypropylene layer, inside of 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, preliminary cleaning is not required. Professionals, in order to avoid the formation of bubbles at the joints during operation, still advise to clean the pipes before welding. You can use such products in various climatic conditions.
Pipe benefits
Calde pipes have the following advantages:
universality;
resistance to the formation of sediments in the cavity, to chemical reagents;
ease and simplicity of installation;
the reinforcing layer prevents oxygen from entering the heating system, which prevents the corrosion of radiators;
low price in comparison with similar materials.
Despite the fact that different consumers leave conflicting reviews about these products, Calde pipes are very popular among professionals.
