Measure the pipe’s outer diameter in millimeters, then choose the matching coupling size. Common residential sizes are 20, 25, 32, and 40 mm. Ensure the coupling and pipe have the same type and pressure rating to prevent leaks in Riyadh or Jeddah. If unsure, use a caliper or ask a technician.
Yes. A quality PPR coupling made to recognized pressure and temperature standards can handle hot water systems. Many suitable fittings support around 70 degrees C and up to 25 bar. For Saudi homes, choose high-grade fittings for bathrooms and kitchens, where continuous heat can stress lower-quality materials.
A PPR coupling joins two pipes of the same size in a straight, direct connection. A male or female connector links PPR piping to taps, valves, or different fitting types. For longer domestic runs, couplings help reduce connection points and improve stability.
No. PPR coupling installation relies on a clean, dry surface and the correct heat tool. Remove dust, moisture, and debris before heating, then insert the fitting quickly for a secure joint. Matkel also offers measurement tools and installation accessories to support safe, leak-free fitting in homes and villas.
Check the size, temperature rating, and quality markings on the product. The material should have an even color and smooth edges. For projects in Makkah or Dammam, buy from a supplier that provides clear invoices, size confirmation, and replacement cover for manufacturing defects.
