Popular or TurkPlast?

Two PPRC lines we are a dealer for, and the question we hear most at the counter. How to pick for the job in front of you, without a brand war.

By Rai Usman Ghany, 2 min read

Popular and TurkPlast are the two PPRC names we hear most at the counter, usually in the same sentence. We are a dealer for both, so we have no reason to push one over the other. Both are quality lines, and the right pick depends on the job, not the name on the pipe.

Start from the fitting list

Every drawing has its own mix of tees, elbows, reducers and transition pieces. Check that one line covers every fitting the job needs before you buy the first length. If it does, that line can carry the whole job.

Price the whole list, not one pipe

A single pipe length tells you very little. On a real job the fittings count is where the total is decided, so send us the full bill of materials and we will price it in both lines. Rates move with the market, so ask for today's price rather than working from a catalog figure.

Stay with one line

Fittings from one maker are made to join that maker's pipe. Whichever line you pick, stay with it from the first length to the last fitting, especially on concealed and underground runs where a repair means breaking a floor. Mixing brands halfway through a run is where leaks start, not the brand choice itself.

Ask your plumber

Many crews standardize on one line so their fusion settings and joint habits never change. If your plumber has a preference, that is a good reason to follow it.

What we tell buyers

Bring the drawing or the fitting list. We will tell you what each line covers, price both on the same list, and you pick. Either way, the goods come with a printed invoice and the manufacturer's warranty.
