Quick Answer
Plumbing systems — UPVC, CPVC, PPR, and copper pipes, plus fittings, valves, and sanitary ware — are sourced from China. Key checks are material and pressure rating, standard compliance, fitting compatibility, and certification for potable-water use where required.
What to Specify and Verify
- Pipe material and pressure rating (UPVC, CPVC, PPR, copper)
- Standard compliance and potable-water certification where needed
- Fitting and thread compatibility across the system
- Valve and sanitary-ware quality and finish
