- ### FlowGuard® CPVC’s track record exceeds 60 years, demonstrating remarkable durability and resistance to the common problems that challenge residential piping systems.
- ### Pipe corrosion is a significant factor affecting the longevity of piping materials, with FlowGuard® CPVC showing superior resistance to chlorine-induced corrosion compared to PPR.
- ### The ease of installation and robust joint security further contribute to FlowGuard® CPVC’s longevity, outpacing PPR in both aspects and ensuring a longer service life for residential plumbing.

 

When considering the reliability of residential piping systems, homeowners prioritise longevity and hassle-free operation. Both Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC) and [green pipe (PPR Pipe)](https://www.flowguard.com/en-sa/why-cpvc/cpvc-vs-ppr) are leading choices in the market, with FlowGuard® CPVC boasting over 60 years of successful use and still counting. PPR, although promising a lifespan of about 50 years, lacks the historical data to back this claim fully.
