Benefits and Applications of APL Apollo's CPVC Pipe Benefits and Applications of APL Apollo CPVC Plumbing Pipes
The invention of plastic PVC pipes revolutionised the plumbing industry by offering durable and sturdy solutions. As evolution continued in this space, many variants of PVC pipes emerged, one of which is the CPVC plumbing system.
Made with the addition of chlorine to PVC pipes, CPVC pipes (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) are one of the best plumbing solutions for both potable and non-potable water applications.
APL Apollo CPVC Plumbing Solutions and Their Applications
A special blend of chlorinated polyvinyl chloride material is used to build the APL Apollo CPVC plumbing fittings. This specific material conforms to IS:15778. Further, owing to the quality of raw material and top-notch manufacturing process, the APL Apollo CPVC plumbing system is approved for contact with potable water in a wide range of countries, including the USA, UK, Canada, Germany, France, Netherlands, and the Middle East among others.
APL Apollo’s CPVC plumbing pipes and fittings are assembled based on the below standard:
ASTM D1784 - Standard specification for rigid PolyVinyl Chloride (PVC) Compounds and Chlorinated PolyVinyl Chloride (CPVC) Compounds.
● ASTM D2846/IS:15778 - Specification for Chlorinated PolyVinyl Chloride (CPVC) Plastic Pipes for hot & cold water distribution systems.
● ASTM F493 - Standard specification for Solvent Cements for Chlorinated PolyVinyl Chloride (CPVC) Plastic Pipe & Fittings.
● ASTM F441 - Standard specification for Chlorinated PolyVinyl Chloride (CPVC) Plastic Pipe, SCH 40 & 80.
● ASTM F438 - Socket-Type Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride Plastic Pipe Fittings SCH 40.
● ASTM F439 - Socket-Type Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride Plastic Pipe Fittings SCH 80.
The pipes are available in the following sizes:
● SDR 11 - ½” (15 MM) TO 2” (50 MM)
● SDR 13.5 - ½” (15 MM) TO 2” (50 MM)
● SCH 40 - 2 ½” (65 MM) TO 4” (100 MM)
● SCH 80 - 2 ½” (65 MM) TO 4” (100 MM)
The CPVC plumbing fittings are available as per the following:
● SDR 11 - ½” (15MM) TO 2” (50MM)
● SCH 40 - 2 ½” (65MM) TO 4” (100 MM)
Benefits of CPVC plumbing fittings
1. These pipes are corrosion-resistant, improving the longevity and performance of the pipes.
2. CPVC pipes can handle temperatures up to 93° C, making them perfect for hot and cold water systems.
3. Strong joints ensure that there are no vulnerable points for leaks or cracks, allowing for smooth and leak-proof water transport.
4. With a design stress of 2000 PSI, the APL Apollo CPVC plumbing system works well even under high-pressure situations.
5. The presence of chlorine in the pipes makes them suitable for potable water by reducing the risk of bacterial contamination while also making the pipes resistant to common chemicals found in water.
6. CPVC pipes are lightweight yet strong, making them easy and cost-effective to transport and install.
7. CPVC pipes do not support combustion and self-extinguish as soon as the source of the flame is removed.
8. Along with being manufactured under stringent industry standards, APL Apollo CPVC pipes are ISI certified.
Key Applications of CPVC Pipes
● They can be used in indoor and outdoor applications for hot and cold water systems in residences, hospitals, and commercial enterprises.
● Water heaters and swimming pools
● Fire-fighting sprinkler systems
Conclusion
APL Apollo CPVC plumbing pipes and fittings offer consistent performance for decades with minimal maintenance making them the preferred solution for hygienic water supply.
