Corzan HP Pipe & Fittings
FlowGuard Gold Pipe & Fittings
"There’s no reason not to use CPVC. It lasts a long time and it’s easier to install.”Bill Brooks, Project ManagerW Hotel – Fort Lauderdale
Whether you’re plumbing a high-rise, hotel, hospital, college dorm or any number of other commercial projects, FlowGuard Gold® and Corzan® HP pipe and fittings provide a cost-effective, easy-to-install and highly reliable option. Installations are fast and easy as a result of our strong solvent cement joining system -- so projects are completed on time and within budget.
Made of high-performance chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), our commercial plumbing products are not only immune to pitting, scaling and corrosion, but they also possess the mechanical strength to handle the type of high pressure often associated with large commercial projects. Both FlowGuard Gold and Corzan HP pipe and fittings meet the cell class of 24448, one of the highest on the market today. Corzan HP pipe has a 25% higher pressure rating than standard CPVC at 180ºF (82ºC). In addition, Corzan HP fittings are pressure-rated to the same rating as the pipe to make the Corzan HP system the first and only fully pressure rated schedule 40/80 piping system on the market today.
That means peace of mind with regard to their ability to provide a long-term, reliable performance. For added confidence, consider the fact that the same large-diameter Corzan pipe and fittings used in commercial installations have been successfully used in industrial applications since the 1960s, proving that they offer the necessary durability, chemical and temperature resistance to endure even demanding, highly corrosive environments.
We offer a broad range of pipe and fitting sizes, making our products ideal for numerous applications, including rises and mains, as well as branch lines. A wide array of transition fittings are available to conveniently transition larger-diameter Corzan HP pipe with FlowGuard Gold pipe or to metal.
