Atlanta couplings, specifically referring to those used with PPR (Polypropylene Random Copolymer) pipes, are designed for joining pipes in hot and cold water supply systems. These couplings, like other PPR fittings, are known for their high-impact resistance, non-corrosive nature, and ability to withstand high temperatures (up to 93°C). They also offer features like leak-proof joints, no calcification, and resistance to corrosion, bacteria, and moss reproduction.
