PPR Coupling f/f
Both ends of this coupling are female fusion sockets, so it joins two PP-R pipes of the same outside diameter and nothing else. To connect to a metal pipe, a tap, a valve or a pipe of another diameter, use a threaded adaptor or a reducing fitting from the PPR range.

Description and application
The THERMALINO PPR coupling f/f is a straight PP-R socket, female at both ends, that joins two PP-R pipes of the same diameter by socket fusion into one continuous, leak-tight line. It is made to EN ISO 15874-3, rated PN25, and available from Ø20 to Ø110 in white, grey and green.
The PPR coupling f/f from the THERMALINO Eternal line is a straight connector with a fusion socket at each end. It joins two PP-R pipes of the same outside diameter end to end. You can use it to extend a run or to close a repair. Once welded, it becomes part of the pipe wall, with no separate seal. The fitting is made of PP-R (polypropylene random copolymer, type 3) from prime-grade raw material supplied by leading polymer producers. It conforms to EN ISO 15874-3, the fittings part of the standard for polypropylene hot and cold water installations, and is rated PN25. The operating temperature is 70 °C, with a maximum of 95 °C. Permissible pressures at each temperature and the service life values are in the technical data sheet. The material is matched to THERMALINO PPR pipe, so socket and pipe fuse into a homogeneous joint designed for a long service life. It is used for drinking water and hot water distribution and for heating and cooling circuits in houses, apartment blocks and commercial buildings, as well as in industrial water lines. Sizes run from Ø20 to Ø110, so the same PPR socket covers small branch lines and large risers. It comes in white, grey and green. The coupling is installed by socket fusion. The pipe end is cut square and cleaned. The pipe and the coupling socket are then heated at the same time on a fusion tool fitted with heating bushes of the matching diameter. The two parts are pushed together without twisting and held until the joint sets. Heating, joining and cooling times follow the fusion table for each diameter. Because the joint uses no threads, sealants or O-rings, it is suitable for concealed pipework.

Questions
- How do you join two plastic PP-R pipes together with a PPR coupling on a hot and cold water installation in a building?
- Two PP-R pipes are joined with a PPR coupling f/f by socket fusion: each pipe end is heated together with one socket of the coupling and then pushed in, so the parts weld into one piece. The pipe is cut square and cleaned, and the fusion tool is fitted with heating bushes of the matching diameter. Pipe and socket are pushed together straight, without twisting, and held until the joint sets. Heating, joining and cooling times depend on the diameter and follow the fusion table. The work is done by a trained installer with a proper socket fusion tool.
- Is a PPR socket the same fitting as a PPR coupling, or do I need a different part to join two straight pipes?
- A PPR socket and a PPR coupling are two names for the same fitting: a straight connector with a fusion socket at each end that joins two pipes of equal diameter. The THERMALINO PPR coupling f/f is this fitting. It is available from Ø20 to Ø110 and is made to EN ISO 15874-3.
- Which PPR socket size should I order to join 3/4 inch PP-R pipe in a domestic water supply line?
- For PP-R pipe described as 3/4 inch, the matching PPR socket is normally the Ø25 coupling, because PP-R fittings are sized by the pipe's outside diameter in millimetres. Always check the outside diameter printed on the pipe before ordering. The THERMALINO PPR coupling f/f comes in Ø20, Ø25, Ø32, Ø40, Ø50, Ø63, Ø75, Ø90 and Ø110, and the coupling diameter must match the pipe exactly for a sound fusion joint.
- Can a PN25 PPR coupling be used on central heating and hot water lines running at around 70 °C?
- Yes, the THERMALINO PPR coupling f/f is rated PN25 for hot and cold water installations to EN ISO 15874-3, with an operating temperature of 70 °C and a maximum of 95 °C. The allowable pressure falls as the temperature rises. Check the pressure and service life values for your operating temperature in the technical data sheet before you size the system.
- Can a PPR coupling f/f be connected directly to copper or steel pipe, or to a threaded valve?
- No, the PPR coupling f/f cannot be connected directly to copper pipe, steel pipe or threaded valves, because both of its ends are fusion sockets for PP-R pipe. For a transition to metal pipe or to threaded equipment, a PP-R fitting with a threaded insert or an adaptor is fused into the line. The coupling is then used only for the PP-R to PP-R joints.
