Product information, material comparisons, installation best practices, design considerations, safety information and more from the pioneer in CPVC plumbing technology.
Assessing resistance to biofilm growth in plumbing pipe is one of the most important specification considerations an engineer can make. That resistance is essential to keeping potable water safe...
With any construction project, there are inherent risks and liabilities. For example, falling objects, powerful machinery, and heat used near flammable materials all create opportunities for...
Every construction project, whether a new home or repair job, has its challenges. And when it comes to plumbing, one of the most common is trying to install piping in confined or cluttered areas.

Over 16,000 residential fire accidents were reported in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 2015.
As a homeowner, your plumbing system probably doesn’t come to mind when you think about fire hazards....
Homeowners and plumbers need to be cautious of the damaging effects UV rays can have on piping materials.
Ultraviolet light generates free radicals within thermoplastics. For thermoplastics like...
The most important chemical in creating clean, potable water? Chlorine.
An article in Scientific American shows how chlorine and chlorine-based compounds “kills a large variety of microbial...
Thermal expansion and contraction is a property of all piping materials. As the water and environmental temperature increases or decreases, the pipe length will fluctuate. The longer the run, the...
All piping materials expand and contract with temperature changes. The more significant the change, the more a pipe’s length can change. If not accounted for in a plumbing system design, the...
Clean, potable water is arguably the most critical element for human well-being, and the adverse effects of contaminated water can be seen across the globe.
FlowGuard® CPVC pipes and fittings are...
Unlike green pipe (PPR) and metal pipes, which require heat and flame to weld joints together, FlowGuard® CPVC pipe and fittings use a process called solvent cement welding.
