GF+ Aquasystem PP-R Standard Pipe SDR6 (PN20)
GF+ Aquasystem PP-R Standard Pipe SDR6 (PN20) — The core pipe of the Aquasystem system: a single-layer pressure pipe made of PP-R raw material in the SDR6 wall series (PN20). It is used in drinking water, domestic hot water and heating lines.
Applications
- In-apartment domestic hot and cold water
- Radiator heating and radiator connection lines
- Compressed air and industrial water lines (with project approval)
Key features
- SDR6 thick wall, PN20 pressure rating
- Smooth inner surface: no scale or deposit build-up, does not corrode
- Gasket-free, permanent joint by socket fusion welding

Values per DVS 2207-11 at +20 °C ambient and 260 °C heating tool temperature. Below +5 °C, extend the heating time by about 50%. Heating time starts when pipe and fitting are fully seated on the heating dies; during the joining time the parts may be aligned axially without twisting.
Installation tips
- Cut the pipe square with a pipe cutter and mark the welding depth on the pipe.
- Push pipe and fitting onto the heating dies at the same time without twisting; when the heating time is over, join them quickly and axially.
- Do not twist the parts after the joining time; do not pressurize the line before the cooling time has passed.
- Pressure-test the installation before closing walls or screed.
Frequently asked questions
How is the pipe sold?
Pipes are produced in 4 m lengths; they are sold by the meter in multiples of 4 m.
How is thermal expansion accommodated?
Single-layer PP-R pipe elongates when heated (approx. 0.15 mm/m·K). On long hot water lines, use expansion loops, fixed points or fiberglass reinforced Faser pipe.
