PVC / CPVC

Easy to Install

PVC and CPVC pressure pipe and fittings are lightweight – approximately one-half the weight of aluminum and one-sixth the weight of steel – reducing transportation, handling, and installation costs. They have smooth seamless interior walls. They require no special tools for cutting, and are installed with solvent cementing, threading, flanging, and roll-grooved joining.
Chemical Resistance

PVC and CPVC pressure pipe and fittings are inert to attack by a wide variety of strong acids, alkalies, salt solutions, alcohols, and many other chemicals. They are dependable in corrosive applications and impart no tastes or odors to materials carried in them. They do not react with materials carried, nor act as a catalyst.
Strength

PVC and CPVC Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 pipe and fittings are highly resilient, tough and durable products that have high-tensile and high-impact strength. They withstand high pressure for long periods.
Fire Resistance

PVC and CPVC pressure pipe and fittings are self-extinguishing, and do not support combustion. They have an ASTM E84 flame-spread rate of 25 or less.
Internal Corrosion Resistance

PVC and CPVC Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 pipe and fittings resist chemical attack by most acids, alkalies, salts, and organic media such as alcohols and aliphatic hydrocarbons, within certain limits of temperature and pressure.
External Corrosion Resistance

Industrial fumes, humidity, salt water, weather, atmospheric, or underground conditions – regardless of soil type or moisure – cannot harm PVC and CPVC pressure pipe and fittings. Scratches or surface abrasions do not provide points which corrosive elements can attack.
Immunity to Galvanic or Electrolytic Attack

PVC and CPVC Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 pipe and fittings are immune to galvanic or electrolytic action. They can be used underground, underwater, in the presence of metals, and can be connected to metals.
Freedom from Toxicity, Odors, Tastes

PVC and CPVC pressure pipe and fittings systems are non-toxic, odorless, and tasteless. The National Sanitation Foundation lists them for use with drinking water.
Low Friction Loss

The smooth interior surfaces of PVC and CPVC Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 pipe and fittings assure low friction loss and high flow rate. Because PVC and CPVC pipe and fittings do not rust, pit, scale, or corrode, the high flow rate continues for the life of the piping system.
Low Thermal Conductivity

PVC CPVC pressure pipe and fittings have a much lower thermal conductivity factor than metal pipe. This ensures that fluids maintain a more constant temperature. In most cases, pipe insulation is not required.
Low Installation Cost

The many advantages of PVC and CPVC Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 pipe and fittings ensure a lower installed cost than for other piping systems.
Maintenance-free

PVC CPVC pressure pipe and fittings systems do not rust, pit, scale, corrode, or promote build-up on the system interior. Years of trouble-free service can be expected.

Scope: This specification covers PVC Schedule 40 pipe and fittings for pressure applications. This system is intended for pressure applications where the operating temperature will
not exceed 140°F.

Specification: Pipe and fittings shall be manufactured from virgin rigid PVC (polyvinyl chloride) vinyl compounds with a Cell Class of 12454 as identified in ASTM D 1784.
PVC Schedule 40 pipe shall be Iron Pipe Size (IPS) conforming to ASTM D 1785. PVC
Schedule 40 fittings shall conform to ASTM D 2466. Pipe and fittings shall be
manufactured as a system and be the product of one manufacturer. All pipe and fittings shall be manufactured in the United States. Pipe and fittings shall conform to National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) Standard 61 or the health effects portion of NSF Standard 14.

Installation shall comply with the latest installation instructions published by Charlotte
Pipe and Foundry and shall conform to all local plumbing, building, and fire code
requirements. Solvent cement joints shall be made in a two step process with primer
manufactured for thermoplastic piping systems and solvent cement conforming to ASTM D 2564. The system shall be protected from chemical agents, fire stopping materials, thread sealant, plasticized vinyl products, or other aggressive chemical agents not compatible with PVC compounds. Systems shall be hydrostatically tested after installation. Testing with compressed air or gas is not recommended.
