The Asahitec™ PP-RCT line of pipe and fittings by Asahi/America is the latest advancement in polypropylene polymers and has a wide range of benefits for commercial plumbing systems. The complex crystalline structure provides greater pressure capabilities at higher temperatures than conventional PP materials. When utilized in a piping system, these enhanced mechanical properties make it suitable for higher temperature applications such as boiler and hot water systems. They also create lighter and thinner piping while maintaining the necessary system pressure ratings. PP-RCT can also be extruded in a multilayer pipe with fiber core middle layer. This core reduces the impact of thermal expansion on the piping system. The Asahitec™ piping system offers socket fusion pipe and fittings from 1/2" to 4-1/2" sizes, butt fusion fittings from 6" to 24" sizes, as well as welding equipment and accessories.
Ideal applications for Asahi/America's Asahitec™ line of PP-RCT pipe and fittings are:
- Potable Water
- HVAC - Hot Water and Chilled Water
- Food and Beverage Grade Water
- Hydronics
- Sports Stadiums and Arenas
- Commercial Buildings
- Residential Buildings
- Institutional Buildings
- Schools and Universities
- Government Buildings
- Hospitals
- Hotels and Apartments
