PPh Valves & Strainers Metric
Our range of polypropylene (PP-H) valves and strainers is specifically designed for demanding applications involving hot, aggressive, and chemically corrosive media. These components form a critical part of industrial thermoplastic pipe systems, offering reliable flow control, system protection, and long service life where traditional metal valves would corrode or fail.
Manufactured from polypropylene homopolymer (PP-H) and finished in beige-grey (RAL 7032), these valves and strainers deliver excellent chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, and thermal stability, making them ideal for use across chemical processing, water treatment, pharmaceutical, food & beverage, laboratory, and industrial waste applications.
Available with a choice of EPDM, FPM (Viton), or PTFE sealing options, and supplied with plain, spigot, BSP threaded, wafer, and flanged connections, this category offers one of the most comprehensive selections of PPh valves and strainers available in the UK.
Why Choose PPh Valves & Strainers?
- Excellent resistance to acids, alkalis, salts, and aggressive chemicals
- Suitable for continuous operating temperatures up to 80°C (dependent on valve type and seal material)
- Lightweight yet robust construction
- Smooth internal bores to reduce pressure loss and prevent build-up
- Corrosion-free alternative to metal valves
- Compatible with socket fusion, butt fusion, threaded, and flanged systems
- Ideal for both new installations and system upgrades
