POLYPROPYLENE’S COST-SAVING BENEFITS
- Lasting Performance
Unlike steel, polypropylene never rusts, scales or corrodes, and has a projected lifespan of 50+ years - Virtually Leak-Free
A properly performed heat-fusion joint creates one solid piece with no leak paths – and it remains leak-free for the life of the pipe - Labor Savings
Faster, easier, safer installations than steel thanks to the elimination of welding - Stable pricing
Predictable total installed cost and prices that don’t fluctuate based on tariffs or volatility in the commodities markets - Installer Safety
Pipe that is up to 70% lighter than steel based on size and thickness dramatically reduces the risk of injuries

Case Studies on How PP-R Saves Cost
LABOR SAVINGS
"I think any time you're in a process where you would typically turn to welding piping, you should look at the time savings and durability of aquatherm pipe."
- Jeff Friedon, President @ Warner Mechanical LLC
STABLE PRICING
"The cost of using steel is not just the installation. It's the hidden costs that have to be recognized by the facility manager and the owner about the cost of a carbon steel or cast-iron system."
- Lou Garavito @ Wallace Eannace Associates Inc
FASTER INSTALLATION
"Aquatherm allowed us to hang long runs of it overhead and get more pipe in the air quickly"
- Troy Norris, Senior Vice President @ Kirlin
