What are PPR fittings?
PPR fittings are the elbows, tees, couplers, reducers, caps, adaptors and valves that complete a PPR water system. Most join by socket fusion, and many have brass inserts for metal threads.
Because joints are fused, a finished PPR system has very few points that can leak. Therefore, plan the full fitting list before you start welding.
