Industry
UPVC Pipes & Fittings
APPLICATIONS
- Suitable for use up to 93 degree C.
- Indoor and Outdoor use for cold water applications
- Residential complexes,commercial buildings,public utilities,swimming pools
- RO and DM water plants
- For Concealed, down take & terrace looping
NOTE :
Not to use with Compressed air and gases.
Pressure rating of uPVC pipes & fitting is temperature related.Derating factor should be applied during designing & operation for higher tempearture appplications.For detailed usage refer IS 4985 or contact us
Installation of uPVC pipelines should be done in accordance with IS 7634(Part -3)
Flow velocity in the pipelines should not be greater than 1.5 meter/sec.
For threaded pipes & fittings the work pressure at 23℃ should be considered as 50℃ of rated
DO not use uPVC pipes & fittings for hydro pneumatic applications
MAJOR ADVANTAGES
- Lead-free material ensures safe drinking water.
- Exceptional corrosion resistance ensures constant flow over its lifetime.
- Light-weight but strong.
- Self-extinguishing(Does not support combustion).
- uPVC pipes have High impact resistance, ensures high impact quality performance at lower temperatures.
- Fast and Easy Installation.
- Long Life.

Note :
1. For threaded pipes and fittings, the working pressure at 23℃ shall be considered as 50% rating.
2. Pressure rating at uPVC pipes and fittings is tempreture related. Derating factor shall be applied for applications at higher.

DO’S & DONT’S
DESIGN STAGE
- Consider provision for expansion and contraction of piping installation
- Consider pressure de-rating factor for use of upvc pipe line at higher temperature for a maximum of up to 45℃.
HANDLING, TRANSPOTATION & STORAGE
- UPVC Pipes and fittings shall be stored in covered area.
- Pipes shall be stored on levelled flat forund.
- The shacking height of a upvc pipe stack shall not be more than 50 meters
- Do not drag or drop/throw pipes while loading/unloading & shifting.
- Do not overhang the pipes out of vehicle body while transporting.
- Don not stack the pipes for more than 1.5 meters of height.
JOINTING & INSTALLATION
- In case of threads to be done in pipes,parallel threads are recommended.
- Use only uPVC Solvent cement for jointing. Other types of solvent cements may contain ingredients which are not recommended.
- Cut the pipe at right angle to its axis.
- Before making joint,remove burr and clean the pipe surface/threads.
- For Solvent cement joints rotate the pipe through the quator turn while inserting in the upvc fitting.
- Clean excess solvent cement which comes out from joint.
- Cure the solvent joint for 24 hours for atleast 24 hours in dry weather & 48 hours in humid weather.
- For threaded joint,use teflon tape for thread smiling.
- Use recommened spacing for clamping the installation.
- In Case of concealed pipeline, plastoring with 1:4 mortar is recommended
- Do not use Solvent cement whick is gelled/not free flowing.
- While solvent cementing avoid heat exposure or open flame.
- Do not hammer the pipeline.
- Do not over-tighten the treaded joints.
TESTING & COMMISSIONING
- Pressure test the installation with water only.
- Before testing, ensure that all joints are cured fully.
- Ensure that all waves are air relief mechanism at the end of elevations are opened.
- During initial filling of pipeline,limit water velocity up to 0.3m/s for releasing the entrapped air.
- Continue fillig until entrapped air is completely removed from installation
- Do not use air or gas for installation testing.
