Product Description
Ashirvad Flowguard Plus 1-Step CPVC Yellow Medium Solvent Cement is specifically formulated for joining CPVC pipes and fittings in potable water systems. This professional-grade cement creates a molecular fusion between CPVC surfaces, resulting in joints that are stronger than the pipe itself. The medium-bodied yellow formulation provides optimal gap-filling properties and working time, making it ideal for both professional plumbers and DIY installations.
The 1-step formula eliminates the need for separate primer application in most installations, streamlining the joining process while maintaining superior bond strength. The distinctive yellow color allows for easy visual verification of cement application, ensuring complete coverage for leak-free joints. Compatible with all Ashirvad Flowguard Plus CPVC pipes and fittings, this solvent cement is engineered to withstand continuous hot water service up to 93°C and maintains full pressure rating throughout the system's lifespan.

Recommended Applications
- Hot Water Systems: Geyser connections, solar water heater installations, and centralized hot water distribution
- Cold Water Plumbing: Overhead tank lines, bathroom fixtures, and kitchen supply systems
- Residential Construction: New home plumbing installations and villa projects
- Renovation Projects: Replacing old metal pipes with modern CPVC systems
- Commercial Plumbing: Hotels, hospitals, apartments, and office buildings
- Repair Work: Fixing leaks and replacing damaged sections in existing CPVC systems
Installation Guidelines
- Surface Preparation: Cut pipe squarely, deburr, and chamfer at 10-15°; clean pipe end and fitting socket with CPVC cleaner
- Dry Fit Check: Insert pipe into fitting to verify proper fit (pipe should insert 2/3 of socket depth without cement)
- Cement Application: Apply even coat of solvent cement to pipe end and fitting socket using brush applicator; apply heavier coat to socket
- Assembly: Immediately insert pipe into fitting with quarter turn (90° rotation) to ensure even cement distribution; hold firmly for 30 seconds
- Curing: Wipe excess cement; allow 15 minutes before handling, 1 hour before moving, and 24 hours before pressure testing or commissioning
FAQs
1) Do I need a separate primer with Ashirvad 1-Step CPVC Solvent Cement?
For most residential applications with pipe sizes up to 50mm (2"), the 1-step formula does not require separate primer. However, for larger diameter pipes (above 50mm), critical applications, or cold/humid conditions, using a CPVC cleaner/primer is recommended for optimal bond strength. Always follow local plumbing codes and manufacturer guidelines for your specific application.
2) Can I use regular PVC solvent cement for CPVC pipes?
No, you must use CPVC-specific solvent cement like Ashirvad Flowguard Plus CPVC cement. Regular PVC cement is formulated for PVC material and will not create a proper molecular bond with CPVC, resulting in weak joints, leaks, and system failure. CPVC cement contains specific solvents designed to fuse CPVC's chlorinated molecular structure.
3) How long does CPVC solvent cement last once opened?
Once opened, CPVC solvent cement typically remains usable for 6-12 months if stored properly. Keep the can tightly sealed when not in use, store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and ensure the brush applicator is clean. If the cement becomes thick, stringy, or difficult to apply, it has likely degraded and should be replaced for optimal joint quality.
4) What is the difference between yellow and clear CPVC solvent cement?
Yellow CPVC cement is medium-bodied with better gap-filling properties, making it ideal for general plumbing applications and slightly loose-fitting joints. Clear CPVC cement is typically low-viscosity for tight-fitting joints and provides invisible bonds. Yellow cement's color makes it easy to verify complete application, which is why it's preferred for professional installations and quality control.
5) How many joints can I make with one can of solvent cement?
The number of joints depends on can size and pipe diameter. A typical 100ml can makes approximately 40-50 joints for 15mm (1/2") pipes, 25-30 joints for 20mm (3/4") pipes, and 15-20 joints for 25mm (1") pipes. Larger diameter pipes require more cement per joint. For project planning, estimate based on your specific pipe sizes and add 10-15% extra for waste and reapplication.
