What is Male Socket 40×1″ RAKtherm PPRc ?

 

PPR Male Adapter, Transition Male Socket, or Transition Piece Round-Male) is a specialized fitting from RAKtherm’s PPR piping system. It transitions from a 40mm OD PPR pipe (via socket fusion) to a 1″ male threaded connection (typically BSP).

Description

RAKtherm, manufactured in Ras Al Khaimah (UAE) by Gulf Plastic and Converting Industries, produces high-quality PPRc (Polypropylene Random Copolymer) fittings. This fitting has:

• One socket end for heat fusion welding to 40mm PPR pipe.
• One 1″ male threaded end (often with a reinforced brass insert in transition fittings for durability and better sealing against metal components).

It is green or white, matching RAKtherm pipes, and designed for reliable, leak-proof connections in pressurized systems. The PN25 rating provides a safety margin for hot water and HVAC applications.

Specifications

• Material: PP-R (Type 3), with brass insert in the threaded portion for strength.
• Pressure Rating: PN25 (SDR 5 / S 2 series for high-pressure hot water).
• Size: 40mm (PPR socket) × 1″ Male thread.
• Standards: ISO 15874, DIN 8077/8078; compliant with potable water certifications.
• Temperature Range: Continuous operation up to 70–95°C (short-term peaks to 100°C); suitable for hot/cold water.
• Key Features: Corrosion-resistant, scale-resistant, low thermal conductivity, smooth bore for optimal flow, long service life (>50 years), non-toxic.

Pressure derating applies at higher temperatures (per RAKtherm tables for PN25 pipes/fittings). Always refer to the official catalogue for exact pressure-temperature curves.

Similar transition fittings (e.g., Male Unions) are available in sizes like 32mm x 1″, 40mm x 1¼”, etc.

Usage / Applications

• Hot & Cold Water Supply: Plumbing in residential, commercial, and high-rise buildings.
• HVAC Systems: Connections for chilled/hot water lines, boilers, pumps, valves, fan coils, or heat exchangers.
• Transition Points: Linking PPR pipe networks to threaded metal valves, meters, tanks, pumps, or appliances.
• Other uses: Solar heating, compressed air, or chemical lines (verify compatibility).

It excels where a welded PPR system needs a demountable or hybrid interface with metal components.

Installation

RAKtherm uses socket fusion welding for the PPR end (permanent, homogeneous joint).

Steps:

1. Cut the 40mm PPR pipe squarely with a pipe cutter; deburr and clean.
2. Mark insertion depth on the pipe.
3. Use a RAKtherm welding machine set to ~260°C. Heat the pipe end and fitting socket simultaneously (heating time for 40mm is typically 12–18 seconds, per welding tables).
4. Join quickly and hold aligned for a few seconds. Allow full cooling (several minutes) before testing.
5. For the threaded end: Wrap PTFE (Teflon) tape or use approved sealant. Screw into the female threaded counterpart (hand-tight + 1–2 turns; avoid over-tightening).

General Guidelines (from RAKtherm manual):

• Follow linear expansion compensation (use supports, clips, or expansion loops).
• Pressure test the system (typically 1.5× working pressure).
• Use genuine RAKtherm tools and fittings for best results and warranty.

Tools: Socket fusion welder with 40mm heads, pipe cutter, deburring tool, Teflon tape.
