Pilsa PP-R pipes and fittings for water supply and heating

Pilsa (Pilsa Plastic Products Inc.) is a Turkish manufacturer of polymer piping systems, known for the Pilsatherm range and PP-R / PPRC and PP-RCT solutions for cold and hot water, heating, and underfloor heating circuits. Historically, the company developed within Sabancı’s industrial ecosystem, and in the late 2000s it became part of the European group Wavin’s orbit.

Why Pilsa is chosen: key brand strengths

1) Production base and technology
Industry sources have noted that Pilsa relied on Sabancı’s financial capabilities and introduced high-tech production lines, including equipment supplied from Germany.

2) High-quality raw materials
The same sources indicate that HOSTALEN raw material (a brand associated with the German polymer market) was used for PP-R products, supporting stable performance and consistent weld repeatability.

3) Wide assortment and product line development
Pilsa’s plumbing and heating catalog includes 250+ items (pipes, fittings, transitions, connection assemblies). When demand arises for non-standard components, the company expands its range, up to launching new shaped parts and PP-RCT (Type 4) series.

4) Systematic quality control
Pilsa states that it applies multi-stage quality control throughout production and laboratory testing; for export batches, additional inspections and more protective transport packaging are mentioned.

5) “European-level” performance at a reasonable price
The brand concept is to deliver quality and technology comparable to European solutions, without paying extra “premium for the sake of premium”. As a result, Pilsa is often viewed as a practical option for both mass projects and private builds.

Pilsa product range: what the system includes

Pipes

PP-R (PPRC / Type 3): core solutions for cold and hot water.

Reinforced series for heating and hot water: options with perforated aluminum foil, as well as composite solutions to reduce linear expansion.

PP-RCT (Type 4): a “next-generation” polypropylene with improved performance at higher temperatures/pressures and increased flow capacity at comparable outside diameters (in certain lines, for example Pilsa Plus).

System diameters typically range from 20 to 200 mm, depending on the series.

Fittings and connection assemblies

Couplers, elbows, tees, bypasses, diameter transitions, and combined fittings with brass threads for connecting to metal, everything needed for a complete “turn-key” installation and neat connection nodes for plumbing fixtures and equipment.

Practical operating advantages

No rust and no scaling buildup: smooth inner walls help maintain flow and pressure.

Leak-tight socket fusion installation: socket fusion welding creates a monolithic joint without “weak points”.

Suitable for water and heating: provided the correct pipe series/class is selected for the required pressure and temperature.

Where Pilsa is used

Apartments and private houses: water distribution, risers, manifold layouts

Heating: radiator circuits, heat-carrier distribution, connection nodes

Underfloor heating: auxiliary sections, piping and connections (within a properly engineered system)

Commercial facilities: offices, shops, small hotels, where reliability and consistent installation quality matter

Why Pilsa is convenient to choose as a “system”

Pilsa is not just “a pipe”, but a compatible ecosystem: pipe + fitting + valves. This approach reduces the risk of on-site errors, speeds up installation, and simplifies component selection. The result is an engineering network that looks tidy, operates reliably, and is easy to service.

Pilsa in Moldova

If you are selecting Pilsa pipes and fittings in Moldova, focus on a system-based selection: the right pipe type (matched to temperature and pressure), the correct fittings, and proper fusion welding provide maximum service life and predictable performance of the system.
