Product Description

Ashirvad CPVC Flowguard Plus Pipe SDR-11 represents the gold standard in hot and cold water plumbing systems. Manufactured using advanced FlowGuard Gold CPVC technology, these pipes deliver exceptional performance in demanding residential and commercial applications. The SDR-11 rating ensures robust pressure handling capacity of 15 kg/cm², making it suitable for multi-story buildings, high-rise apartments, and installations with significant elevation changes.

The 5-meter length provides optimal coverage with fewer joints, reducing installation time and potential leak points. The smooth interior surface prevents scale buildup and bacterial growth, ensuring clean water delivery for decades. CPVC's inherent corrosion resistance eliminates the pinhole leaks and rust issues common with metal pipes, while the material's low thermal conductivity reduces heat loss in hot water lines. Backed by rigorous quality testing and international certifications, Ashirvad Flowguard Plus pipes offer unmatched reliability for modern plumbing systems.

Recommended Applications

• Hot Water Distribution: Geyser connections, solar water heater systems, and centralized hot water supply in apartments and hotels
• Cold Water Plumbing: Overhead tank distribution, bathroom supply lines, and kitchen plumbing networks
• High-Rise Buildings: Multi-story residential and commercial buildings requiring high-pressure rated piping systems
• Residential Construction: New home plumbing, villa projects, and independent house water distribution systems
• Renovation Projects: Replacement of corroded metal pipes in existing buildings with modern CPVC systems
• Commercial Facilities: Hotels, hospitals, schools, and office complexes requiring reliable hot water delivery

Installation Guidelines

FAQs

1) What does SDR-11 mean in CPVC pipes?

SDR-11 (Standard Dimension Ratio) indicates the ratio of pipe outside diameter to wall thickness. SDR-11 pipes have thicker walls and can handle higher pressure (PN 15 / 15 kg/cm²) compared to SDR-13.5. This makes SDR-11 ideal for high-rise buildings, long distribution runs, and applications requiring robust pressure handling. The lower the SDR number, the thicker the pipe wall and higher the pressure rating.

2) Can CPVC pipes be used for both hot and cold water?

Yes, Ashirvad CPVC Flowguard Plus pipes are specifically designed for both hot and cold water applications. They can handle continuous temperatures up to 93°C (200°F) and intermittent temperatures up to 100°C, making them perfect for geyser connections, solar heaters, and regular cold water supply. Unlike PVC pipes which are only suitable for cold water, CPVC's enhanced chlorine content provides superior heat resistance.

3) How do I join CPVC pipes and fittings?

CPVC pipes are joined using solvent welding (solvent cement) method. Use Ashirvad Flowguard Plus 1-Step CPVC Solvent Cement for best results. The process involves: cutting the pipe squarely, deburring and chamfering, cleaning with CPVC cleaner, applying solvent cement to both pipe and fitting, inserting with a quarter turn, and holding for 30 seconds. Allow 24 hours curing before pressurizing the system.

4) What is the lifespan of CPVC pipes?

Ashirvad CPVC Flowguard Plus pipes are engineered for 50+ years of service life when installed correctly and used within specified temperature and pressure limits. CPVC does not corrode, rust, or develop scale buildup like metal pipes. The material maintains its structural integrity, pressure rating, and smooth flow characteristics throughout its lifespan, making it a superior long-term investment for plumbing systems.

5) Can CPVC pipes be buried underground?

Yes, CPVC pipes can be used for underground water supply lines with proper installation. The pipes must be protected from UV exposure during storage and laid in a sand bed to prevent damage from sharp stones. CPVC is unaffected by soil chemicals and provides excellent corrosion resistance. However, ensure pipes are not exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods before burial, as CPVC is UV-sensitive and can degrade with prolonged sun exposure.
