Incompatible Products
All ancillary construction products coming into direct contact with FlowGuard® pipe & fittings, BlazeMaster® fire sprinkler systems and Corzan® industrial systems must be chemically compatible. This ensures proper performance and functionality.
If an ancillary product is to come into direct contact with a FlowGuard pipe & fittings system, BlazeMaster fire Sprinkler system and/or Corzan industrial system and is not included in the FBC™ System Compatible Program, Lubrizol recommends that chemical compatibility be confirmed with that product’s manufacturer prior to use.
The following products have been deemed to be incompatible with FlowGuard pipe & fittings, BlazeMaster fire sprinkler systems and Corzan industrial systems. Please note: a product’s absence from the incompatible products list does not mean that it is compatible with the aforementioned Lubrizol brands.

Legal Disclaimer
The FBC™ System Compatible Program tests and monitors ancillary products to help determine whether a product is chemically compatible with Lubrizol’s FlowGuard Gold®, BlazeMaster®, and Corzan® CPVC piping systems. Other manufacturers and/or brands of CPVC piping have not been tested as part of the FBC™ System Compatible Program. The FBC™ System Compatible program is, therefore, only applicable to the chemical compatibility of ancillary products with the brands of FlowGuard Gold, BlazeMaster, and Corzan CPVC piping systems. This is because every brand of CPVC piping is made up of unique compounds, some of which may contain resins with different molecular weights and varying chlorine content. These characteristics directly impact the performance of the resulting product. Similarly, various CPVC products contain different performance additives. This too affects the performance characteristics of the ancillary product. For these reasons, Lubrizol bears no liability for any failures occurring as a result of using products in the FBC System Compatible Program with CPVC products other than FlowGuard Gold, BlazeMaster, and Corzan.
