PPI announces new model specification for polypropylene piping
The Plastics Pipe Institute (PPI) has released a new Model Specification document for selecting, specifying and installing polypropylene (PP) plastic piping in plumbing and mechanical projects. PPI MS-8 Model Specification for Polypropylene (PP-R & PP-RCT) Pressure Pipe Systems for Plumbing & Mechanical Applications applies to hot- and cold-water plumbing distribution, chilled water, cooling/condenser water, make-up water, and hydronic heating and cooling distribution piping systems, including district energy. It was prepared as a service to the industry by the association’s Building & Construction Division (BCD).
According to PPI, with high temperature and pressure capabilities, polypropylene pressure pipes are suitable for demanding piping applications in commercial buildings, data centers, factories, schools, health care facilities, hotels, and more.
