FAQs
1) What is the difference between CPVC and PVC elbows?
CPVC elbows are designed for hot and cold water applications with temperature resistance up to 93°C (200°F), while PVC elbows are suitable only for cold water and drainage with maximum temperature of 60°C. CPVC has higher chlorine content making it more durable and suitable for potable water systems, especially for geyser and solar heater connections.
2) Can I use regular PVC solvent cement for CPVC fittings?
No, you must use CPVC-specific solvent cement like Ashirvad Flowguard Plus 1-Step CPVC Solvent Cement. Regular PVC cement does not create a proper molecular bond with CPVC material, leading to weak joints and potential leaks. CPVC cement is formulated with specific solvents that properly fuse CPVC pipes and fittings for leak-free, permanent joints.
3) What sizes are available in Ashirvad Flowguard Plus 90° Elbows?
Ashirvad Flowguard Plus CPVC 90° Elbows are available in standard sizes including 15mm (1/2"), 20mm (3/4"), 25mm (1"), 32mm (1-1/4"), 40mm (1-1/2"), and 50mm (2"). The most commonly used sizes for residential plumbing are 15mm and 20mm for bathroom fixtures, and 25mm for main distribution lines. Choose the size matching your pipe diameter.
4) How long do CPVC fittings last in hot water applications?
Ashirvad Flowguard Plus CPVC fittings are designed for 50+ years of service life in hot water applications when installed correctly. The material does not corrode, scale, or degrade from continuous hot water exposure up to 93°C. The fittings maintain their structural integrity and pressure rating throughout their lifespan, making them superior to metal fittings that can corrode or develop pinhole leaks.
5) Can CPVC elbows be used for underground water supply lines?
Yes, CPVC elbows can be used for underground water supply lines, but the pipes must be protected from direct sunlight during storage and properly bedded in sand during installation. CPVC is UV-sensitive and should not be exposed to sunlight for extended periods before burial. Once underground, CPVC provides excellent corrosion resistance and is unaffected by soil chemicals, making it ideal for buried hot and cold water distribution.
