Piping Solutions for the Hospitality Industry

The Lubrizol Corporation offers a number of proven piping solutions that are especially well suited for the hospitality industry. As the global leader in piping technology, our FlowGuard Gold®, BlazeMaster®  and Corzan®  piping systems have been successfully installed in a wide array of commercial applications, including hotels, motels, and lodgings, in more than 60 countries around the globe.

Value-conscious owners, specifiers and installers choose our piping systems because they offer a unique combination of benefits unmatched by any other piping system on the market. Of particular interest to the lodging industry is our fast, easy and highly reliable joining system which allows installers to meet even the tightest deadlines—both in new construction and retrofits.

Faster installation means higher occupancy rates which contribute significantly to the bottom line. This fast and easy installation process also helps to lower labor costs which, when combined with our products’ more stable material pricing over metallic systems, translates into lower total installed costs. Despite the lower costs, our piping systems deliver highly reliable performance since they are not susceptible to the effects of pitting, corrosion or scaling

Quiet operation is another advantage sure to be appreciated by guests. With less water flow noise and virtually no water hammer, guests are less likely to be disturbed by a "neighbor’s" late-night trip to the bathroom.

Of course, safety is always a top consideration, especially in a retrofit situation where part of the building is still occupied. Since our installation method does not require an open torch for soldering, installations are cleaner and safer—and less likely to disturb or threaten the safety of your guests. Equally important is the fact that our piping systems demonstrate a proven 50+-year track record for outstanding flame and smoke characteristics.

With the lodging industry’s increased focus on "green" benefits and LEED certification, we are happy to report that our piping systems have lower energy requirements and produce fewer greenhouse emissions than other piping materials. And, since they never corrode, they are likely to last longer and create less need for replacement materials.

But perhaps the best news is that now there is an added piping option from Lubrizol—one that combines the benefits of CPVC and PEX to produce an even more versatile, easy-to-install, cost-effective solution. Known as the FBC hybrid system, this revolutionary new plumbing alternative allows for the fast and easy transition of Corzan and FlowGuard Gold CPVC pipe and fittings to FlowGuard™ Flex PEX pipe. There is nothing else quite like it on the market. It’s no wonder that it has been selected by numerous trade journals as a top innovation.

And if superior performing, proven products aren’t enough to instill a high level of confidence in your next hotel or motel project, consider the fact that all of our piping solutions are backed by the industry’s largest network of technical support specialists. That’s why there is no better piping solution than one offered from Lubrizol.
