Plumbing Systems
"The FlowGuard Gold® system was the only one that could have been used for this job," said Daley. "We could not have used copper – it would have taken at least four times longer for us to put it in." T.J. Daley, Job Superintendent for Myers Plumbing University of California - Davis Campus
With so many piping options on the market today, how do you choose the one that’s right for you? You might choose the one with the strongest reputation. Or perhaps the one with the best track record for customer satisfaction. Or, given the tight economy, you might choose the one that has proven to be cost-effective.
The good news is that whichever of these criteria you use, the end decision will always be the same—FlowGuard Gold® pipe and fittings from FBC™ Building Solutions.
Made of high-performance chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), FlowGuard Gold pipe and fittings outperform every other plumbing system on the market today. And we can prove it. Just look at the results from third party test reports, testimonials from satisfied customers and more than 50 years of experience in the field. No other non-metallic plumbing system offers this type of longevity. Lubrizol invented CPVC in 1959. Since that time, billions of feet of FlowGuard Gold CPVC pipe have been successfully installed in residential and commercial applications around the globe.
We continue to lead the market with technology advances that push the performance of CPVC pipe and fittings to new levels. As a result, we are the most specified CPVC system in the country. That’s not just a testament of our product quality, but it also says a lot about our technical and service support. We offer the industry’s largest network of technical support specialists—both in the field and at our extensive R&D facilities—who are available to answer questions, conduct training and provide cost-effective solutions.
FlowGuard Gold plumbing systems offer a highly cost-effective alternative. Material costs are stable and labor costs are lower thanks to the system’s fast and easy installation process. And since CPVC has little scrap value, job site thefts are also minimized.
In addition to economics, the true value of a FlowGuard Gold system is found in its superior performance. Immune to the effects of corrosion, pitting and scaling, FlowGuard Gold pipe and fittings offer long-term, reliable and low-maintenance performance. Strong solvent cement welded joints provide added reliability. And there’s peace of mind in knowing that a FlowGuard Gold system offers higher impact strength, denoted by its high cell class rating.
Additional benefits include: • Quiet operation • Uncompromised water quality (no copper contamination) • Energy efficiency • Reduced condensation
Availability: • ½” – 2” Copper Tube Size (CTS) SDR 11 sizes • Corzan® CPVC pipe and fittings are available in Iron Pipe Size (IPS) up to 12” diameter for larger commercial applications
