Thermaplus Pipe Fittings

Thermaplus Pipe Fittings

PPR Pipes and fittings from KPT - "Thermaplus" (PPR-FR) are made exclusively for fire sprinkler systems. They are constructed from a unique thermoplastic material known chemically as Polypropylene Random Copolymer Flame Retardant (PPR-FR). Compared to traditional thermoplastics, KPT Thermaplus (PPR-FR) pipes and fittings offer improved hydraulics, ease of joining, greater hanger spacing, and ease of installation, among other special benefits for sprinkler systems. The current industry standard for automated fire sprinkler pipe systems is KPT Thermaplus (PPR-FR). According to NFPA 13, KPT Thermaplus (PPR-FR) pipes and fittings are completely certified for use in all light and regular hazardous rooms and other light hazardous applications, in both new construction and retrofit construction, including:

  • High-rise buildings (including apartments and hotels)
  • Schools and Institutions
  • One and Two family dwellings
  • Special Features

    Thermaplus pipes, also known as fire fighting pipes, have a number of features, including:

    Thermal Insulation: The pipes are made of thermally insulated material that can resist high temperatures in order to reduce heat loss and boost energy efficiency.

    Fire Resistance: Because the pipes are made to survive exposure to high heat and flames without losing structural integrity, they are considered fire resistant.

    Resistance to Corrosion: The pipes' resistance to rust and corrosion extends their endurance and longevity.

    Low Thermal Conductivity: The temperature of the water or other fire-suppressing chemicals inside the pipes can be readily maintained since the pipes have low thermal conductivity and do not transfer heat well.

    Durable: A pipe's ability to endure exposure to chemicals, moisture, and other environmental variables is determined by the material it is made of.

    Lightweight: The pipes are perfect for usage in buildings, factories, and other structures since they are portable and simple to install.

    Low maintenance: The pipes are a cost-effective fire protection system option since they are simple to clean and require little maintenance.

    Easy to Install: The pipes are easy to install, which reduces the installation time and costs.
