CPVC Pipe

Chlorinated Poly (Vinyl Chloride) (CPVC) is a thermoplastic pipe and fitting material made with CPVC compounds meeting the requirements of ASTM Class 23447 as defined in ASTM Specification D1784.CPVC applications are for potable water distribution, corrosive fluid handling in industry, and fire suppression systems.

• Environmentally friendly.
• Provide long service life.
• Easy to install and handle.
• Corrosion resistant.
• Cost effective.
• Widely accepted by codes.

Industrial CPVC pipe is manufactured by extrusion in sizes from ¼" to 12" diameter to Sch 40, Sch 80, and SDR (Standard Dimension Ratio) dimensions.

CPVC piping which is suitable for hot and cold water distribution has a 400 psi pressure rating at room temperature, and a 100 psi pressure rating at 180 F.

CPVC materials are resistant to many everyday household chemicals.
Since CPVC materials do not support combustion, they cannot burn without an external fuel source. This property makes CPVC pipe an attractive alternative to steel and copper pipe for fire sprinkler applications. CPVC fire sprinkler piping systems are approved for light hazard applications and for use in single and multifamily dwellings. Installation shall be in accordance with the NFPA Section 13, 13D, and 13R.

CPVC pipe and fittings are produced by many manufacturers, and are available in Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 dimensions, as well as CPVC tubing which is suitable for potable hot and cold water distribution. The tubing is based on copper tube sizes (OD) and IPS pipe (OD), with SDR 11 wall thicknesses.
