Apex Piping Revised 2
Apex Piping Revised 2
The story began in 1978 when Apex Piping Systems, formerly known as KAP Plastics, was founded
in Industrial Area in Nairobi, Kenya.
The company initially focused on the importation, marketing, and distribution of aluminum
products, specializing in injection molded plastics and the production of household products
such as plastic hangers, jugs, plates, and rubber door stoppers.
Encouraged by the parent company’s sustained success in producing high quality steel, Apex
Steel directors made the decision to acquire KAP Plastics, in 2010, effectively becoming a one-
stop shop for all construction-related needs in Kenya. The company was later rebranded to
Apex Piping Systems in 2018.
In 2004, Apex Piping became the first company in East Africa to make Poly Propylene Random
(PPR) and High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipes, radically changing the plumbing industry
from galvanized pipes to plastic, thus saving plumbers substantial time and money.
PPR, trademarked as ‘Hydro-flo’, is manufactured using only virgin materials, without any
additives, making it the perfect fit for customers who are particular about quality and durability.
Hydro-Flo has been awarded KEBS certification and is the preferred choice for plumbers and
contractors looking for quality and durability. It’s manufactured from a virgin material with no
fillers or additives, ensuring sustainability in quality and performance to last over 50 years.
Following Apex Piping’s seamless integration into the Apex Steel family, the company has
continued to be at the forefront of plumbing innovations, introducing a series of new plastic
and piping solutions to the Kenyan market including round pipes, wall plugs, toilet seat covers,
garden hose pipes, ferrules, and tubings.
The group’s unwavering commitment to quality was eventually recognized by the Dutch-based
global leader in piping and plumbing solutions, Wavin, leading to a partnership (from 2012 to
2017) that saw Apex Piping begin manufacturing PPR, PVC (drainage pipes, electrical conduits,
pressure pipes, and rainwater downpipes) and HDPE pipes at its state of the art manufacturing
facilities in Athi River under stringent quality measures and manufacturing direction from Wavin.
These pipes and fittings are marketed under the brand name ‘Apex Piping’.
Water is the essence of life and it should only be handled with the world’s best piping solutions.

PPR HYDRO-FLO
The PPR type 3 used in the production of HYDRO-FLO PPR system has a high molecular weight and
excellent creep resistance fundamental characteristics for the transportation of hot fluids under
pressure. It also has good resilience which ensures ease of installation even with temperatures under
0ºC. HYDRO-FLO pipes are made of 100% virgin material which guarantees they last long; durable and
no deposits seen.
APPLICATIONS
Pipe & Fitting Networks for:
• Cold & Hot installations, i.e. in Residences, Complexes, Apartments, Offices, Hospitals, Hotels,
Schools etc.
• Industrial, i.e. transportation of corrosive fluids (like acids) and liquid foods etc.
• Agriculture and Horticulture.
• Compressed air plants.
• Swimming pools
• Rain Water harvesting and utilization systems.
