PPR pipes

PPR (polypropylene random copolymer) offers better corrosion resistance than other piping materials. It is a non-toxic, hygienic, 'green' product. PPR pipes are ideal for hot and cold water plumbing systems, including solar applications, heating systems, air conditioning systems and piping systems for transporting aggressive fluids in industries such as ammonia plants, breweries, petroleum and gas plants, and mineral water plants.

Other Handyman's Paradise products include:

GI plumbing systems

Handyman's Paradise offers a full range of traditional galvanised iron plumbing ware.

UniTwist fittings

UniTwist fittings are quick and easy to install, cost-efficient and reliable. They are suitable for underground, in-wall, in-floor and in-ceiling installations in residential, public and industrial buildings. UniTwist is suitable for hot and cold water systems, is reliable under high pressure, and requires no mechanical tools to install. Fittings are available in 15mm and 22mm sizes.

UniTwist fittings are made of high quality PPR (polypropylene random copolymer), a high performance plastic that has been tested to SANS 15874 for hot water and high pressure. The UniTwist fittings range is designed with durability in mind. The push-fit seal action is backed up by a compression action thereby creating double the security. Both pipes and fittings are highly affordable and economic to install.

CPVC tubing

Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC) tubing is ideal for cold water supply lines. It is durable and easy to cut and assemble using compression of cemented fittings. Harsh water does not harm the material, unlike copper, which erodes from acidic water.

PVC pipes

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is the third most widely produced plastic, after polyethylene and polypropylene. PVC is used in construction because it is more effective than traditional materials such as copper, iron or wood in pipe and profile applications. Handyman's Paradise has a full stock of PVC pipes in different sizes.
