NIRON PP-RCT Piping System receives Massachusetts approval

Boston, MA The NIRON PP-RCT piping system has passed one of the most rigorous approval processes for plastic piping in the country. After a nearly two-year review process, NIRON has received unrestricted approval for “commercial plumbing applications, potable water” – the hardest to achieve. The awarding of certification from Massachusetts is a significant milestone for the product. “With its extensive review and certification process, Massachusetts is looked at favorably by other states across the country,” said Chip Curtis, NIRON product manager and plastic piping product expert with the F.W. Webb Company. “When Massachusetts determines a system is satisfactory, many other states are willing to accept their findings.”NIRON

NIRON PP-RCT is fast and easy to install for plumbing and HVAC systems, conveyance of drinking water and alimentary fluids, and movement of compressed air, gas and chemicals. Suitable for many commercial projects, NIRON is often preferred over copper and steel for its ability to withstand high temperatures, chemical resistance, longevity and overall durability. It is light weight and comes in sizes from ½” to 24”. 

Joining methods include standard socket and butt fusion, as well as electrofusion, for which an extensive line of fittings is available. NIRON comes with a 30-year warranty and has a tested lifespan of more than 100 years.

The NIRON PP-RCT piping system is available exclusively in the Northeast from the F.W. Webb Company.
