Is CPVC good for plumbing?

Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC) pipes and fittings manufactured by Hindware’s flagship unit TRUFLO is the perfect choice for plumbing. They are easy to install, long-lasting and can withstand high temperatures of up to 93°C, making them suitable for both hot and cold water distribution. The interior of the CPVC pipe is smooth and has very less or no water hammering which provides the optimum flow rate. These pipes are leak-proof, corrosion-resistant and remain unaffected due to treatment by various chemicals. Keeping up with Hindware’s commitment of superior quality CPVC pipes and fittings by TRUFLO are versatile enough to adapt to a diverse range of residential and commercial applications.

What is the difference between PPR and CPVC pipes?

PPR pipes are designed to be as a hygienic system for potable water distribution. Whereas, CPVC systems are used for hot and cold water applications. CPVC pipes have 60% greater tensile strength than PPR pipes and can withstand high pressure in small to large applications. In CPVC pipes & fittings, the traditional PVC material undergoes chlorination process, which adds strength to these pipes and helps withstand cracking of material caused by water disinfectants. CPVC pipes are stronger, flexible, easy to install, resistant to high temperature, durable, eco-friendly and sustainable making it a superior choice over PPR pipes.

Where are CPVC pipes used?

TRUFLO CPVC pipes are used in residences, agriculture systems, industrial process lines, irrigation systems, swimming pools, water supply systems, and fire fighting systems etc. CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) pipes and fittings are made of strong and flexible thermoplastic material. These are ideal for hot and cold potable water distribution systems in residential and commercial constructions. CPVC pipes and fittings are immune to damage from highly chlorinated domestic water and have a temperature tolerance of up to 93°C. Its corrosion resistance, temperature tolerance, chemical and UV resistance make them a versatile option. Being the best CPVC manufacturers, TRUFLO CPVC Pipes & Fittings are produced in SDR and SCH series to meet your requirements specific to that application.

Why choose CPVC pipes?

CPVC piping systems are immune to degeneration caused by the presence of chlorine in its polymer materials that are used in the making of pipes and plumbing systems for potable water. Chlorine is generally added to water as a disinfectant to kill harmful germs and bacteria. This natural immunity of CPVC piping systems can withstand chlorinated water at very high temperatures and pressures where pipes of other materials fail. TRUFLO CPVC pipes and fittings come fully equipped with CPVC coupling, CPVC reducer, CPVC tees etc. and are not only economical but also easy to install.

What are its benefits of CPVC pipes?

TRUFLO CPVC pipes and fittings have more benefits and advantages than other plumbing system components. CPVC pipes are very easy to install and are relatively maintenance-free. The CPVC pipes are superior, long-lasting and safe at all temperatures, especially for potable water distribution. TRUFLO CPVC pipes are UV, chemical and corrosion resistant, providing an optimum flow of water. CPVC fittings come as a complete piping system with CPVC coupling, CPVC reducer, CPVC tees and all other requirements for installation of the plumbing system.

Why are UPVC pipes good for plumbing?

UPVC pipes & fittings are ideal for cold water applications and are good for plumbing as they are UV stabilised, lead-free and anti-bacterial. They are environmentally friendly and the safest for potable water. TRUFLO manufactures a wide range of pipes and fittings like UPVC flange, UPVC coupler UPVC tees and all other accessories for a complete plumbing system. These are easy to install and a cost-effective solution. Hindware’s TRUFLO Pipes are manufactured as per ASTM D1785 and the UPVC fittings are manufactured as per ASTM D 2466 & 2467 Certifications.

What is the difference between PPR and UPVC pipes?

PPR pipe is made of Polypropylene Random Copolymer (Polypropylene Random Copolymer type 3). PPR pipes are designed to be the most hygienic system for distribution of potable water. These are not suitable for outdoor installation and are fragile. Whereas, TRUFLO UPVC pipes & fittings are fabricated with high-quality materials and modern technology as per the latest industrial norms. The pipes are available in varied specifications and are used for high-pressure water distribution systems. TRUFLO UPVC pipes and fittings are an ideal replacement for galvanised iron pipe systems for all cold water applications. UPVC pipes are UV stabilised and have leak-proof joints as they are welded by solvent cement which is one of the advantages over PPR pipes. UPVC pipes and fittings can be used for outdoor applications for upto 60°C.

Where UPVC pipes are used?

UPVC pipes and fittings are used for a wide range of applications like Cold Water Distribution system for bathrooms, kitchens, gardens, washing places, toilets in residential blocks and commercial complexes, offices, factories, laboratories, bus stands, railway stations, airports, hotels and hospitals and all other areas which have toilets, kitchens and other water containment areas. This is because Hindware’s TRUFLO UPVC pipes have higher strength against weather variations, are UV stabilised, anti-corrosive and anti-bacterial making them completely safe for potable water.

Why prefer UPVC pipes?

UPVC piping systems are corrosion-free and highly feasible for the distribution and smooth flow of clean and hygienic water. The pipes are easy to install, light in weight, convenient to handle, store, transport and low on maintenance. The pipes are ultra-violet stabilized, therefore, weather and sunlight do not affect them. Hindware TRUFLO UPVC pipes and fittings are non-toxic, have a longer life, easy to lay and join, have low thermal conductivity and are chemical and corrosion-resistant.

What are the benefits of UPVC pipes and fittings?

TRUFLO UPVC pipes and fittings have more benefits and advantages than other plumbing system components. UPVC pipes are very easy to install and are relatively maintenance-free. The UPVC pipes are superior, long-lasting and safe at all temperatures, especially for potable water distribution. TRUFLO UPVC pipes are UV, chemical and corrosion resistant, providing an optimum flow of water. UPVC fittings come as a complete piping system with UPVC coupling, UPVC reducer, UPVC tees and all other requirements for installation of the plumbing system.
