Today there are more material choices for plumbing systems than ever before. Although copper once dominated the market, it has steadily lost ground to higher performing, more reliable alternatives such as chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) which is approved for residential and commercial potable water applications.
FlowGuard Gold® CPVC is often preferred for its straight, professional appearance. Its simple solvent cement joining system requires only a few inexpensive cutting tools and yields a reliable joint within a matter of minutes. It is also available in larger diameters to provide a dependable, cost-effective alternative for mains and risers in larger buildings. From an environmental standpoint, CPVC requires less energy to produce than any other piping material.
FlowGuard Gold CPVC performs well with regard to corrosion resistance. The material will never pit, scale or corrode—regardless of the pH or chlorine levels of the water. That means a longer, reliable performance and full water carrying capacity throughout the life of the system. In addition, there are no concerns of copper leaching into the water to create concerns of possible copper contamination. FlowGuard Gold CPVC offers a quieter operation, 4 times quieter than copper.
In order to meet the specific needs of various markets and applications, we have created a full line of plumbing products, including:
FlowGuard Gold® pipe and fittings – the most specified non-metallic plumbing system in the U.S.
FlowGuard® Bendable Piping – our highly reliable, multi-layer composite pipe combines the corrosion-resistant benefits of CPVC with the strength and durability of aluminum to offer the ultimate piping system enhancement
Building on the CPVC technology used to make today’s advanced plumbing systems, we also offer today’s most specified non-metallic fire sprinkler system in the world……..BlazeMaster® Fire Sprinkler Systems – for use in fire sprinkler applications, offering the same easy installation and corrosion resistance as FlowGuard Gold pipe and fittings.
