PPFA is a voluntary, non-profit organization of North PPFA companies primarily engaged in the manufacture of plastic pipe and fittings for plumbing and piping applications typically installed on the building premises.

Starting in 2020, a team of experts from PPI member companies began a research project to investigate the potential effects of chlorine dioxide on pressure piping materials CPVC, PEX, PE-RT, PP-R, and PP-RCT.

The award was presented to PPI-member company Uponor. The Society Orlando is a two-tower, 1.5-million-square-foot, mixed-use, high-rise project in the downtown Orlando, Florida Central Business District.

Take a look at Figures 1, 2a and 2b. What do they have in common? Can you think of some better ways to accommodate the flexible tubing?

Aquatherm recently announced team changes to its staff. 

PPI President David M. Fink presented the award to Palermo during the association’s annual meeting in May. PPI is the major North American trade association representing the plastic pipe industry.

Uponor PP-RCT is a polypropylene pipe that is a lightweight, durable product that resists corrosion, rust and scale buildup, making it ideal for mechanical HVAC piping applications, such as hydronic heating, hot water and chilled water, the company points out.

The facility currently operates as two separate plants – one specializing in automotive painted exterior components, the other in PEXa piping for plumbing and radiant heating systems and gaskets for household appliances.

The report provides information about the effects that various chemicals can have on plastic piping materials.
