* **Material Quality:** Most reputable local brands like 4B use food-grade #PPRC #Type 3 material, which ensures the water remains odorless and #non-#toxic.
* **#Heat #Resistance:** Designed to withstand the high temperatures required for geyser connections and solar water heating systems common in Pakistan.
* **Fusion Welding:** Fittings are designed for thermal socket fusion, creating a leak-proof monolithic joint that is often stronger than the pipe itself.
* **Availability:** PN 20 is the standard "heavy-duty" choice for most high-end residential projects, while PN 25 is typically reserved for specialized boiler lines or extreme pressure requirements.
