FlowGuard Gold® Pipe and Fittings: The Reliable Choice for Re-Piping

When pipe or fittings fail due to material defects, corrosion, installation errors or dezincification, a full re-pipe is often the best, most cost-effective solution. More and more piping professionals are choosing FlowGuard Gold® to replace compromised systems, including Delta Mechanical. As plumbing and re-pipe specialists with offices in 17 states, Delta Mechanical prefers FlowGuard Gold for their re-piping projects for many reasons, including the material’s ease of installation and its history of quality and reliability. 

Andy Peck, vice president of the re-pipe division at Delta Mechanical, spent over a decade in the field specializing in re-piping projects and has observed first-hand why FlowGuard Gold is an attractive alternative to other piping materials for re-piping projects. 

“FlowGuard Gold is easy to work with, and when installed correctly, there is very little opportunity for failure,” Peck said. 

Peck and his specialists have experienced the advantages of solvent cement welding, the method for joining FlowGuard Gold pipe and fittings. 

“The solvent cement is quick curing, which makes it much faster and easier to install than copper,” Peck said. “There is no expansion ring or crimped fittings, and the transitions are high-quality.”

As in any piping project but especially in a re-pipe situation, it is important that the replacement material performs well over time. FlowGuard Gold has demonstrated a very low incidence of product defect and has been proven reliable by years of successful use. 

“When material price is comparable, you have to go with a quality product that is also easy to work with,” Peck said. “FlowGuard Gold is a good replacement for compromised systems.”
