Everything You Need to Know About the CPVC Plumbing System

Everyone needs access to clean water, and CPVC pipes, or Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride, are the safest bet to carry water. The durable material makes it the perfect choice for all plumbing applications. CPVC pipes are incredible pipes that are ideal for residential, industrial, and commercial plumbing applications. Originally, metal pipes were used to carry water. However, in recent times, CPVC pipes have been replaced thanks to their durability and leakage-free properties. Whether in outdoor areas or indoors, CPVC pipes are a great choice as they are also corrosion and combustion-resistant.

 

The APL Apollo CPVC plumbing system includes pipes and fittings that are the go-to pipes for most plumbing needs. These plumbing pipes are lightweight and durable. CPVC plumbing fittings are perfect for cold and hot water distribution and can also handle the stress of 2000 PSI that can endure the maximum temperature of 93°C.

 

All About the CPVC Plumbing System

 

A CPVC plumbing system includes a complex unit of CPVC pipes, accessories, fittings, and valves useful for several applications. The system in any building is aimed at moving around hot and cold water for a huge spectrum of applications. CPVC plumbing systems cater to drinking, washing, and bathing. They are good for both residential and industrial piping systems and industrial fire sprinklers.

 

CPVC is used in different residential and commercial projects to carry out the following:

●      Hot and cold-water plumbing systems in commercial and residential areas.

●      Reclaimed water piping.

●      Hydronic piping is used in radiators and fan coils.

●      Suitable for use in process piping applications and other industry uses.

 

Top Features and Advantages of the CPVC Plumbing System

 

●      Provides Safe Water Quality: CPVC plumbing systems are approved by most international agencies as they are safe for potable water applications. These tests and approvals prove that the CPVC plumbing system is safe for use. It will not transfer harmful products such as anti-static agents, flame retardants, plasticizers, or stabilisers into the drinking water that it carries.

 

●      Promises Tensile Strength: CPVC plumbing systems are infused with solvent cement. A solvent system is a substance that chemically combines a plumbing pipe with specific fittings at a molecular level. While most piping or plumbing systems use glue, CPVC plumbing systems use solvent cement, which adds strength to the whole piping system. The piping systems or fittings do not break and last for many years.

 

●      Offers Chlorine Resistance: Disinfectants often contain corrosive substances that can affect the pipes and cause a pipe failure, especially in metallic and PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) pipes. However, top-grade companies make CPVC pipes that stay unaffected even after coming into contact with chlorine. CPVC pipes stay unimpacted because of the presence of strong additives that help keep the water clean and safe for a long period of time.

 

●      Preventing the Development of Biofilm: CPVC plumbing systems are the perfect piping options to keep bacterial growth at bay and keep the water clean and safe. In this case, CPVC outperforms other materials, such as copper and PPR (Polypropylene Random Copolymer Pipes), in its ability to prevent biofilm development.

 

●      Resists Flame Development: CPVC pipes have fire-resistant properties and are non-combustible. Unlike other materials, such as plastic, CPVC pipes and fittings prevent the spread of fire. Top manufacturers like APL Apollo are known for producing fire-resistant pipes and ensuring there are fewer chances of property damage.

 

●      Smooth Inner Surface for Optimum Flow Rate: Usually, high-level minerals can develop on the surfaces of metal pipes used for plumbing. It has an impact on the flow rate of the liquid it carries as there is a pressure drop. However, CPVC pipes have a smooth inner surface and are scale-resistant.

 

●      Amazing Safety Profile: CPVC pipes are easy to install and cost-effective. The surface of the pipes is not too hot and is easily operable by the personnel without the fear of getting burned.

 

●      Ensures a Faster Installation Process: CPVC pipes need fewer complex tools to install. They are not only easy to install but also easy to maintain.

 

●      Durability of CPVC Plumbing: CPVC compounds used in manufacturing pipes are usually designed to last for 50 years and can withstand a maximum temperature of 93°C. The CPVC pipes are tested at different pressures and temperatures and offer a safety and reliability factor. There are fewer chances of malfunction compared to other pipes, such as metal and plastic pipes.
