What is End Cap 32mm Q-Therm PPRc ?
Specifications
The specifications for the End Cap 32mm Q-Therm PPRc PN 25 are derived from the Q-Therm system’s adherence to DIN 8077 and DIN 8078 standards, which govern PPRc pipes and fittings. While exact dimensions for the end cap may vary slightly by batch, they align with standard PPRc fitting norms for 32mm nominal diameter pipes. Key specifications include:
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Nominal Diameter (DN) | 32 mm (outer diameter of compatible pipe) |
| Inner Diameter (approx.) | 21.2 mm (for pipe inner diameter compatibility) |
| Pressure Rating (PN) | PN 25 (25 bar at 20°C; derates with temperature, e.g., ~10 bar at 60°C) |
| Material | Polypropylene Random Copolymer (PPRc Type 3), food-grade, UV-resistant |
| Color | Green (standard for hot/cold water systems) |
| Temperature Range | -20°C to +95°C (suitable for hot water up to boiling point intermittently) |
| Jointing Method | Socket fusion welding (heat fusion for permanent, watertight connection) |
| Standards Compliance | DIN 8077/8078, ISO 15874; tested for health safety (no heavy metals or bacteria buildup) |
| Weight (approx.) | 10-15 grams per piece (lightweight for easy handling) |
| Pack Quantity | Typically sold individually or in bundles (e.g., 50-100 pieces) |
| Length | ~25-30 mm (compact design for end sealing) |
| Thermal Conductivity | Low (1/1500 of brass, 1/250 of steel; minimizes heat loss) |
These specs ensure the end cap withstands high pressure and temperature fluctuations without corrosion or degradation, outperforming traditional metal fittings in longevity (up to 50 years service life).
Usage
This end cap is primarily used to permanently or temporarily close off the end of a 32mm PPRc pipe branch in hot and cold water distribution systems. It is ideal for:
- Hot and Cold Water Supply: Sealing plumbing lines in residential homes, apartments, offices, hotels, and industrial facilities for potable drinking water, radiant heating, or cooling systems.
- Heating and Cooling Applications: In underfloor heating, radiators, or HVAC systems where temperatures reach up to 95°C, thanks to its thermal stability and low expansion rate.
- Installation Scenarios: Ending a pipe run to prevent leaks, allowing for future extensions, or capping unused branches in distribution networks. It supports exposed installations due to UV resistance.
- Benefits in Practice: Reduces installation costs by up to 50% compared to metal systems (lightweight, easy to cut and fuse); resists chemical/electrochemical corrosion; ensures higher flow capacity with smooth interiors; and promotes energy savings via low thermal conductivity (no need for extensive insulation).
Installation Instructions:
- Cut the pipe end squarely using a pipe cutter.
- Heat the pipe end and the socket of the end cap to the recommended temperature (typically 260°C) using a socket fusion tool.
- Insert the pipe into the cap socket straight (no twisting) and hold for 10-15 seconds.
- Allow cooling for at least 2 minutes (longer for larger diameters) to form a fused, homogeneous joint.
- Test the system for pressure integrity after full assembly.
