Astral CPVC PRO SDR 13.5 pipes (Class 2 as per IS:15778) are produced in copper tube size from 15 mm (½ in) to 50 mm (2 in). They are made from the same CPVC compound as SDR 11 pipes, with a thinner wall and therefore a lower pressure rating at any given temperature. The pipe is tan coloured with a brown stripe and is joined by solvent cement.

Key features

• Corrosion resistant - keeps pure water pure, no worries from corrosion of metal pipe or soldered joints
• Easy plumbing process - simple solvent cement jointing
• only chamfering tool and pipe cutter required, no electrical source needed
• Low coefficient of thermal expansion, reducing 'looping' of the pipe when hot water runs
• Fire safety - Limiting Oxygen Index of 60
• does not support combustion, no flaming drips, low flame spread and low smoke generation
• Tough, rigid material - needs fewer hangers and supports
• higher pressure bearing capability
• Lower bacterial growth due to very smooth internal surface
• Unaffected by chlorine present in potable water
• No scale, pit or leach formation
• maintains full water carrying capacity
• Compatible with hot and cold water, withstands temperatures up to 93°C
• Approved for potable water contact in many countries
• compound approved by NSF
• High UV resistance
• life span stated as more than 50 years
• Tan coloured pipe with brown stripe
• marked with manufacturer's trademark, material designation and applicable standard

Applications

• Hot and cold potable water supply in homes and apartments
• Hotels and resorts
• Hospitals
• High and low rise buildings
• Corporate and commercial houses
• Academic institutes
