GENERAL INFORMATION
Scope:
This specication covers Copper Tube Size (CTS) CPVC manufactured to standard dimensional ratio (SDR) 11
for hot and cold domestic water distribution. This system is intended for pressure applications where the operating
temperature will not exceed 180° F at 100 psi.
Specication:
Pipe shall be manufactured from virgin rigid CPVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride) vinyl compounds with a cell class
of 24448 as identied in ASTM D 1784. Fittings shall be manufactured from virgin rigid CPVC (chlorinated polyvinyl
chloride) vinyl compounds with a cell class of 23447 as identied in ASTM D 1784.
FlowGuard Gold CTS CPVC pipe and ttings shall conform to ASTM D 2846. Pipe and ttings shall be manufactured
as a system and be the product of one manufacturer. All pipe and ttings shall be manufactured in the United States.
Pipe and ttings shall conform to National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) Standards 14 and 61.
Installation:
Installation shall comply with the latest installation instructions published by Charlotte Pipe and Foundry and shall
conform to all applicable plumbing, re, and building code requirements. Buried pipe shall be installed in accordance
with ASTM F 1668. Solvent cement joints shall be made using CPVC cement conforming to ASTM F 493. If a primer
is required by local plumbing or building codes, then a primer conforming to ASTM F 656 should be used. The system
shall be protected from chemical agents, re-stopping materials, thread sealant, plasticized-vinyl products or other
aggressive chemical agents not compatible with CPVC compounds. The system shall be hydrostatically tested after
installation. WARNING! Never test with or transport/store compressed air or gas in CPVC pipe or ttings. Doing so
can result in explosive failures and cause severe injury or death.
