FEATURES & BENEFITS
Corrosion resistance
Astral CPVC Pipe gives excellent resistance even under
the harshest of water conditions so there are none of
the purity worries from corrosion of metal pipe or
soldered joints. Astral CPVC Pipe keeps pure water pure.

Lower bacterial growth

Bacteria build up with CPVC is far lower than
with alternative piping materials - Copper, Steel
and other thermoplastics.

No Scale, pit or leach formation

Even after years of use in the most aggressive conditions, Astral
CPVC pipe won’t corrode, standing up to low pH water, coastal
salt air exposures and corrosive soils. Astral CPVC Pipe stays as
solid and reliable as the day it was installed. It maintains full
water carrying Capacity because its scale resistance means no
build up to cause water pressure loss.

Unaffected by chlorine in the water

Some materials may be adversely affected by chlorine
contained in the water supply, which can cause
breakdown of the polymer chains and potential leaks.
In this respect, Astral CPVC pipe is unaffected by the
chlorine present in potable water supply.

Low thermal expansion

Astral CPVC pipe has a lower coefficient of thermal
expansion than alternative plastics, reducing the
amount that the pipe expands when hot water is
running, again reducing unsightly ‘looping’ of the pipe.

Easy Plumbing process

CPVC uses a simple, solvent cement jointing method. Tools
required are very simple and inexpensive (chamfering tool and
pipe cutter only) and avoid the need for an electrical source.
Superior insulation : Astral CPVC pipe is more energy efficient
than metal pipe. As an insulator it does not lose heat the way
metal pipe do. Heat loss and thermal expansion are reduced.

Hot water compatible

Astral CPVC pipe is compatible with both hot and
cold water. It withstand very high temperature
compared to any other thermoplastic plumbing
systems. Many solar and electric water heaters
have CPVC piping system for heat efficiency and
lower installation cost.

Tough, rigid material

Astral CPVC pipe has a much higher strength than other
thermoplastics used in plumbing. This means that CPVC needs less REHTO
EPIP CITSALP EPIP CVPC
hangers and supports and there is no unsightly looping of the pipe.
Astral CPVC pipe Has a higher pressure bearing capability. This
leads to the same flow rate with a smaller pipe size.

Fire safety
OTHER CPVC has a limiting Oxygen Index (LOI) of 60. Thus in

air, Astral CPVC pipe does not support combustion.
No flaming drips, does not increase the fire load, low
flame spread, low smoke generation.

 UNDERGROUND INSTALLATION
CPVC pipes and fittings can be installed underground. Since
these piping systems are flexible systems, proper attention should
be given to burial conditions. The stiffness of the piping system is
affected by sidewall support, soil compaction, and the condition
of the trench. Trench bottoms should be smooth and regular in
either undisturbed soil or a layer of compacted backfill. Pipe must
lie evenly on this surface throughout the entire length of its barrel.
Excavation, bedding and backfill should be in accordance with the
provision of the local Plumbing Code having jurisdiction.

TRENCHING
The following trenching and burial procedures should be used to
protect the piping system.
1. The trench should be excavated to ensure the sides will be
stable under all working conditions.
2. The trench should be wide enough to provide adequate room
for the following :
A. Joining the pipe in the trench.
B. Snaking the pipe from side or side to compensate for
expansion and contraction.
C. Filling and compacting the side fills. The space between
the pipe and trench wall must be wider than the
compaction equipment used in the compaction of the
back fill. Minimum width shall not be less than the
greater of either the pipe outside diameter plus
16.inches or the pipe outside diameter times 1.25 plus 12
inches. Trench width may be different if approved by the
design engineer.
3. The trench bottom should be smooth, free of rocks and
debris, continuous, and provide uniform support. If ledge

REQUIRMENT OF THARMALLY HANDLING :
INSULATING CPVC PIPE The pipe should be handled with reasonable care. Because
CPVC has much lower thermal conductivity then metals used thermoplastic pipe is much lighter in weight than metal pipe,

apply a heavy, even coat of cement to the
pipe end. Use the same applicator without
additional cement to apply a thin coat
inside the fitting socket. Too much cement
can cause clogged water ways.

Note : For sizes above 65 mm (2½") use IPS 70 primer before applying solvent cement. The purpose of a primer is to penetrate and soften the surfaces
so they can stick together. The proper use of a primer ensures that the surfaces are prepared for fusion in a wide variety of weather conditions.

and primer are available and accepted by various jurisdictions. If
you decide to use clear products, we strongly recommend
contracting the local plumbing inspector prior to beginning a job
to determine if these clear cements and primers are acceptable.

CPVC CEMENT’S SHELF LIFE :

CPVC solvent cement are formulated to have a Shelf life of
two years. Cans are usually marked with manufacturing dates.
Good CPVC cement should have the consistency of syrup or
honey with no undissolved materials. Ages cement will often
change colour or begin to thicken and become gelatinous or jelly-
like. When this occurs, the cement must be thrown away.

SOLVENT CEMENT FREEZING :

Use the same precautions to protect CPVC solvent cement
from freezing as you would with PVC cement. Once cement gels,
it can not be recovered and should be discarded.

square cut. In addition, make sure ratchet cutter blades are
sharp. Cutting tubing as squarely as possible provides
optimal bonding area within a joint.
4B. Burrs and filings can prevent proper contact between the
tube and fittings during assembly, and should be removed
from the outside and inside of the tube. A chamfering tool is
preferred, but a pocket knife or file is also suitable for this
purpose.
4C. Use CPVC Cement only. Use only CPVC Cement or an all
