FlowGuard PVC-C Pipes – Durable and versatile solution for water installations

FlowGuard PVC-C pipes are an advanced solution for building hot and cold water installations, as well as air conditioning and industrial systems. Made of chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (PVC-C), they are characterized by exceptional durability, chemical resistance and ease of installation. This system is available in various diameters, including the popular 1 1/4 inch size, which provides a wide range of applications in both residential and commercial construction. These pipes are particularly valued for their ability to maintain dimensional stability and corrosion resistance, which translates into the longevity of the entire installation.

Features and benefits of the FlowGuard PVC-C system

The FlowGuard PVC-C pipe system stands out with a number of features that make it an ideal choice for demanding installations:

• Exceptional durability: PVC-C material guarantees a service life of the installation estimated at a minimum of 50 years, making it an investment for years to come.
• Chemical resistance: The pipes are resistant to the action of several hundred chemical compounds, allowing their use in various industrial environments.
• No deposits and corrosion: The smooth inner surface minimizes the deposition of scale and impurities, and also eliminates the risk of corrosion.
• Biological inertness: The material is physiologically and microbiologically inert, ensuring safety for users' health.
• Quick and easy installation: Adhesive connections allow for quick and safe installation without the need for specialized tools or energy sources. Connection time does not exceed one minute at the appropriate ambient temperature.
• Damping properties: The system reduces vibrations and noise in the installation, ensuring user comfort.
• Lightweight: Compared to traditional materials (steel or copper), PVC-C pipes are much lighter, making them easier to transport and install.
• Smooth inner surface: Reduces flow resistance, allowing for potential reduction of pipe diameters without loss of efficiency.
• Thermal insulation: Reduces heat loss and also prevents condensation of water vapor on the surface of cold water pipes.
• Fire safety: The material does not support the combustion process and is characterized by high fire resistance.
• Electrical insulation: Prevents galvanic and electrochemical corrosion, particularly important in underground installations.

Application and compatibility

FlowGuard PVC-C pipes find application in a wide range of installations:

• Hot and cold water installations in residential and commercial buildings.
• Air conditioning and refrigeration systems.
• Industrial installations for the transport of various chemical compounds (compatibility of the medium with the material should be checked).
• Possibility of connecting with other installation systems thanks to the availability of threaded and flanged elements.

Pipes with a diameter of up to 2 inches are manufactured in the CTS (Copper Tube Size) system, corresponding to the dimensions of copper pipes, which facilitates the replacement of old copper installations without the need to redesign the system. Above 2 inches, pipes are available in the IPS (Iron Pipe Size) system. This system offers full compatibility with elements made of other materials by using appropriate transition fittings.
