A PPR gate valve is a particular kind of valve intended for use in polypropylene random copolymer (PPR) pipe systems. PPR is a thermoplastic polymer that is frequently used in heating and plumbing applications because of its strength, resistance to chemicals, and ability to withstand high temperatures. Generally speaking, gate valves are utilized to regulate the fluid flow inside pipelines.
- Material: Polypropylene random copolymer, which is renowned for its strength, chemical resistance, and appropriateness for hot and cold water systems, is commonly used to make PPR gate valves.
- Design: To regulate the flow of fluid, gate valves have a wedge-shaped or gate-shaped disk that can be lifted or lowered. PPR gate valves have a design that is tailored to the unique characteristics of the random copolymer polypropylene.
- Functionality: When completely opened, gate valves are renowned for offering a tight seal and minimal flow resistance. Instead of throttling, they work well for on/off control of the fluid flow.
