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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications (Quick Reference)\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCPVC Hot \u0026amp; Cold Water Distribution Pipe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Class\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSDR-11 (PN 15 \/ 15 kg\/cm² at 25°C)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 93°C (200°F) continuous, 100°C intermittent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Length\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 meters (16.4 feet)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCream\/Beige (CPVC standard)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCertifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eASTM D2846, NSF\/ANSI 61 (Potable Water), ISI marked\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHot Water Distribution:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eGeyser connections, solar water heater systems, and centralized hot water supply in apartments and hotels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCold Water Plumbing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eOverhead tank distribution, bathroom supply lines, and kitchen plumbing networks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Rise Buildings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMulti-story residential and commercial buildings requiring high-pressure rated piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eResidential Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eNew home plumbing, villa projects, and independent house water distribution systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRenovation Projects:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eReplacement of corroded metal pipes in existing buildings with modern CPVC systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommercial Facilities:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHotels, hospitals, schools, and office complexes requiring reliable hot water delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Guidelines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStorage \u0026amp; Handling:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eStore pipes horizontally on flat surface away from direct sunlight; avoid dropping or impact damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eUse pipe cutter or fine-tooth hacksaw to cut squarely; deburr inside and outside edges; chamfer pipe end at 10-15°\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCleaning \u0026amp; Priming:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eClean pipe ends and fitting sockets with CPVC cleaner; apply primer to ensure proper solvent cement bonding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolvent Cementing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eApply Ashirvad Flowguard Plus CPVC solvent cement evenly; insert pipe into fitting with quarter turn; hold for 30 seconds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupport \u0026amp; Clipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eInstall pipe clamps at maximum 1-meter intervals for horizontal runs; use expansion loops for long runs exceeding 10 meters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Testing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAllow 24 hours curing time before pressure testing; test at 1.5x working pressure for 30 minutes before commissioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e1) What does SDR-11 mean in CPVC pipes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSDR-11 (Standard Dimension Ratio)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eindicates the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eratio of pipe outside diameter to wall thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e.
