What is Reducer Socket 63x40mm Q-Therm PPRc ?
Specifications
The following table outlines the key specifications for the Reducer Socket 63x40mm Q-Therm PPRc PN 25:
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Type | Reducer Socket (also known as Reducing Coupler or Bush) |
| Material | Polypropylene Random Copolymer (PPRc Type 3) – food-grade, virgin raw material |
| Size/Dimensions | 63mm (outer diameter of larger end) x 40mm (outer diameter of smaller end); Standard wall thickness per DIN 8077/8078 for PN 25 rating |
| Pressure Rating | PN 25 (25 bar maximum operating pressure at 20°C) |
| Temperature Range | -20°C to +95°C (suitable for hot water up to 95°C with 50-year service life at 70°C) |
| Color | Typically green, grey, or white (green common for hot/cold water systems) |
| Standards Compliance | DIN 8077/8078 (Germany), ISO 15874 (International), DVGW certified for potable water |
| Connection Method | Socket fusion welding (hot-melt fusion) for leak-proof, permanent joints |
| Weight (Approximate) | 0.1–0.2 kg (varies by exact model; lightweight for easy handling) |
| Service Life | Minimum 50 years under normal conditions (e.g., 70°C hot water) |
| Origin | Imported from UAE; manufactured for high-rise and industrial applications |
| Pack Quantity | Sold individually or in bulk; compatible with Q-Therm pipes up to 110mm diameter |
These specs ensure the fitting can handle high pressures and temperatures without deformation, corrosion, or degradation. It is resistant to chemicals, acids, and bases, making it versatile beyond basic water supply.
Usage
This reducer socket is primarily used in the Q-Therm PPRc hot and cold water supply system to connect a 63mm diameter PPRc pipe to a 40mm diameter PPRc pipe, facilitating size reductions in plumbing networks without compromising flow efficiency or pressure integrity. Installation involves socket fusion welding: the ends of the pipes and the fitting are heated using a specialized PPR welding tool (e.g., to 260°C), then pressed together for a fused, homogeneous joint that is stronger than the pipes themselves. This method ensures watertight seals and eliminates the need for additional adhesives or threads, reducing installation time and labor costs.
Key applications include:
- Hot and Cold Potable Water Supply: Ideal for residential, commercial, and high-rise buildings, including drinking water lines in homes, offices, schools, hotels, and hospitals.
- Heating and Underfloor Systems: Suitable for radiant heating, boilers, and hot water distribution due to its thermal stability and low heat loss (thermal conductivity of 0.21 W/mK).
- Air Conditioning and Chilled Water: Used in HVAC systems for chilled water networks, as a corrosion-free alternative to metal pipes.
- Industrial and Specialized Uses: Transport of aggressive fluids, compressed air piping, swimming pool facilities, rainwater utilization, food and beverage processing, and agricultural irrigation. It withstands high flow velocities and is hygienic for industries requiring non-scaling, bacteria-resistant lines.
