FlowGuard
Gold CPVC piping systems by Noveon are becoming the clear choice for
professionals in the plumbing and building trades, as well as design engineers
and building owners, who are concerned about water purity and the durability of
their plumbing systems. For more
than 45 years, Noveon technology has created many CPVC materials for industrial
process piping, fire protection and domestic water distribution applications for
use in commercial and residential markets.
The
installation video examines product specifications, installation requirements
and available pipe sizes. FlowGuard
Gold pipe is currently available in up to 2" copper tube size (CTS). For installations that require larger
sizes, Corzan® CPVC pipe and fittings are available in iron pipe
The video
discusses the use of special solvent weld bushings and couplings that allow
designers to transition between the two products to install a
corrosion-resistant, non-metallic system throughout any size building. Instructions are also given for proper
transition from existing metallic systems to the CPVC
system.
Unlike metallic systems, Noveon’s family of CPVC products utilizes a solvent cement bonding system rather than lead solder. A one-step solvent cementing process (no primer required) is recommended for use with FlowGuard Gold pipe and fittings. A two-step solvent cement process is recommended for use with the larger diameter Corzan pipe. (The installer should always verify local code requirements prior to installation.)
Additionally,
the training video provides recommendations for hanging each of the systems
