Shanghai Zhongsu Pipe Co., Ltd. manufactures PPR PIPE and matching PP-R fittings for building water supply, hot-water distribution, central heating and industrial water systems. Our range covers single-layer, double-layer, antibacterial and PP-RCT pipe types, supplied with the couplings, elbows, tees, unions and valves needed to complete a pipeline scope.
As a vertically integrated PPR pipe manufacturer, we produce from 100% imported polypropylene random copolymer raw material sourced from Borealis and South Korea, run full-process monitoring from incoming resin to finished goods, and test every batch in our CNAS-certified laboratory. the category sets out the pipe types we supply, where each one fits, and the project data we use to prepare a configuration and quotation.
Our PPR Pipe Range and Application Fit
PPR pipe is a fusion-welded polypropylene random copolymer system. The material is non-toxic, hygienic and resistant to scaling and corrosion, with low thermal conductivity and smooth inner walls that keep pressure loss low over long service life. We organize the range by service condition rather than by a single generic product, so the pipe wall, material grade and fitting set match the temperature and pressure duty of the line.
Water Supply Pipes
Cold and hot potable water distribution in residential, commercial and institutional buildings, plus municipal and rural water network renovation. Available as single-layer, double-layer and antibacterial constructions.
High-Temperature Water Pipes
Hot supply, central heating and industrial hot-water circuits. Beta PPR and PP-RCT grades handle elevated temperatures with higher pressure resistance than standard PP-R.
Matching Fittings
PP-R and PP-RCT couplings, elbows, tees, unions and valves in the same material family, so the welded joint and the pipe body behave as one system.
Pipe Types We Supply
Each construction addresses a different project priority. We confirm the type against the working temperature, pressure class, water quality requirement and installation environment before quoting.
| Pipe Type | Construction | Typical Application | Selection Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single Layer PPR Pipe | Homogeneous PP-R wall | General cold and hot water supply | Standard duty; economical for routine building services |
| Double Layer PPR Pipe | Two-layer wall structure | Water supply where light protection of the inner layer is required | Choose where the pipe is exposed to light during storage or installation |
| Antibacterial PPR Pipe | PP-R wall with antibacterial additive | Drinking water, hospitals, food and beverage facilities | Specify where microbial control in the water line is a design requirement |
| PPRCT Pipe | PP-RCT high-crystallinity material | Hot water, central heating, industrial hot-water circuits | Higher temperature and pressure capability; suitable for demanding duty |
For potable water lines we supply PPR PIPE FOR WATER SUPPLY in single-layer, double-layer and antibacterial versions. For hot-water and heating duty, Custom Hot Water PPR Pipe Suppliers grade Beta PPR and PP-RCT pipe is the appropriate selection.
Material, Dimensions and Pressure Class
Pipe sizing follows the standard metric outside-diameter series used across PPR systems, from small distribution branches up to larger mains. Wall thickness is set by the pressure class, and the pressure class must be matched to the design temperature because PP-R derates as service temperature rises. As a high pressure PPR tube factory, we confirm the required SDR or PN class against the project's design temperature and pressure rather than quoting a single default wall.
- Raw material: 100% imported polypropylene random copolymer from Borealis and South Korea, with no regrind in the pressure-bearing wall.
- Temperature capability: standard PP-R serves cold and hot water supply; Beta PPR and PP-RCT grades are specified for high-temperature water up to 95°C in hot supply, central heating and industrial use.
- Pressure class: selected from the design pressure and temperature combination, not from nominal pipe size alone — a distinction worth checking when comparing quotes from different high pressure PPR tube factories.
- Colour and marking: confirmed per order, with pipe identification printed along the length.
- Lengths and packaging: pipes bundled and wrapped in woven bags; fittings bagged in specified quantities and packed in dedicated cartons.
Fittings and System Completion
A PPR line is only as reliable as its joints. We supply the full fitting family in PP-R and PP-RCT so the weld interface is consistent throughout the system. Couplings join straight runs, elbows change direction, tees create branches, and unions and valves provide serviceable connections and flow control.
- PPR COUPLING — equal, reducing, female threaded and male threaded versions for straight connections and transitions to threaded equipment.
- PPR ELBOW — 45° and 90° bends plus reducing elbows for direction changes and size transitions.
- PPR TEE — equal and reducing branches for distribution networks.
- PPR UNION — demountable joints for equipment connections and maintenance points.
- PPR VALVES — isolation and control within the PP-R system.
Quality Control and Acceptance
Production runs under full-process monitoring from raw material procurement through to finished product delivery. Every batch of goods undergoes sampling tests, and during production we carry out regular inspections at fixed intervals to measure and record relevant data. Our quality inspection department performs checks at different stages of the run.
- Laboratory: CNAS-certified national laboratory for in-house testing.
- Management systems: ISO9001 quality management, ISO 14001 environmental management and OHSAS18001 occupational health and safety management.
- Product certification: CE certificate held for the applicable product scope.
- Batch documentation: factory inspection report supplied as quality assurance for the delivered goods.
- Production equipment: imported German machinery and internationally advanced production and testing lines.
Installation, Welding and Site Practice
PPR pipe is joined by hot-plate fusion welding, which produces a homogeneous, leak-free joint without adhesives or threaded inserts in the pipe wall. Correct welding depends on matching the heating time, insertion depth and cooling time to the pipe diameter and wall thickness, and on keeping the pipe and fitting clean and dry at the moment of joining.
- Support spacing and expansion compensation are set by diameter and by the temperature difference the line carries; hot-water runs need more allowance than cold-water runs.
- Threaded transitions use the female and male threaded couplings in our fitting range, with the thread engaged on the metal side of the connection.
- Pressure testing is carried out after the weld has fully cooled, following the project's specified test pressure and hold time.
- Pipes should be stored out of prolonged direct sunlight before installation; double-layer and anti-UV constructions are available where exposure is unavoidable.
OEM, ODM and Custom Supply
We supply as an OEM/ODM PPR pipe manufacturer, so pipe marking, colour, length, packaging configuration and fitting assortments can be aligned with the distributor's or project's own specification. Custom hot-water PPR pipe is produced to the required pressure class and temperature duty. Our product system also includes PP-RCT, PE-RT, SRPT and HDPE pipes and fittings, which allows a single order to cover water supply, drainage and heating scopes where the project calls for it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between standard PPR pipe and PP-RCT pipe?
Standard PP-R is made from polypropylene random copolymer and serves cold and hot water supply. PP-RCT uses a higher-crystallinity random copolymer that delivers greater strength at elevated temperature, so as a high pressure PPR tube factory we select it for hot-water, central heating and industrial circuits where the design temperature and pressure are higher.
Which pipe type should be used for drinking water?
Our water supply range covers single-layer, double-layer and antibacterial PPR pipe. All are produced from 100% imported raw material that is non-toxic and hygienic and complies with food-grade standards for drinking water systems. Antibacterial pipe is specified where microbial control in the line is a design requirement.
Can you supply pipe and fittings as one complete package?
Yes. We manufacture PP-R and PP-RCT fittings alongside the pipe, including couplings, elbows, tees, unions and valves, so a single order can cover the full pipeline scope in a consistent material family.
How is quality verified before shipment?
Every batch is sampled and tested in our CNAS-certified laboratory, with regular in-process inspections at fixed intervals and additional checks by the quality inspection department. A factory inspection report is provided as quality assurance with the delivered goods.
Do you support OEM and ODM orders?
Yes. We operate as an OEM/ODM PPR pipe manufacturer and can align pipe marking, colour, length, packaging and fitting assortments with your specification. Samples are available, and the freight cost for samples is refunded after a bulk order is placed.
What is the typical lead time and payment arrangement?
Typical delivery is 15 days, confirmed against the order list and the factory's recent production schedule. For mass production we usually require a 30% advance payment, with the balance paid against the Bill of Lading. T/T is our main payment method, and L/C is also acceptable.
