introduction
IPEX BlazeMaster® pipe and fittings are designed specifically for fire sprinkler
F438, F439,
F442
systems. They are made from a specialty thermoplastic known chemically
as post-chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC). IPEX BlazeMaster pipe and
fittings provide unique advantages in sprinkler installations including superior
1821 hydraulics, ease of joining, increased hanger spacing in comparison to other
1887
thermoplastics and ease of assembly. They also are based on a technology
with a continuous and proven service history of more than 40 years.

Fire Performance
BlazeMaster is made with CPVC which offers an even greater fire safety profile
than PVC. Like PVC, CPVC will not independently support combustion, and as
such will not burn once the flame source is removed. CPVC’s ignition resistance
is demonstrated by its flash ignition temperature of 900°F.
CPVC also has a low flame spread. In addition, it provides outstanding smoke
characteristics. In testing conducted to CAN/ULC S102.2, CPVC showed a
13, 13R
13D, 90A flame spread of less than 15, and a smoke-developed classification of 15. And,
24 like PVC, CPVC has a fuel contribution of 0.

Fitting Preparation
Using a clean, dry rag, wipe loose dirt and moisture from the
fitting socket and pipe end. Moisture can slow the cure time
and at this stage of assembly, excessive water can reduce
joint strength. Check the dry fit of the pipe and fitting. The pipe
should enter the fitting socket easily 1/4 to 3/4 of the way. At
this stage, the pipe should not bottom out in the socket.
