Installation
All precautions should be taken to insure proper and acceptable methods and standards for plastic piping systems are followed in
installation. This includes any safety measures recommended by industry associations and/or government agencies. Suitability for
intended use should be determined by installer before installation.
Solvent Weld Joints: KBI recommends use of a quality grade primer/cement or one step system specifically formulated for type of
plastic system. We recommend cement application to pipe only to insure excess cement not introduced to valves.
CPVC Piping: Noveon publication #FG-2H covers all specific parameters for CPVC and should be consulted before work has begun.
Threaded Connections: KBI recommends teflon tape or compound. Care should be taken when using compounds since some con-
tain substances known to cause stress cracking to plastic. Consult manufacturer information and/or Noveon
(CPVC) .
Compressed Air or Gas: Plastic piping systems are never recommended for compressed air or gas as such systems could rupture
causing serious injury from plastic fragments.
Water Hammer: Care should be taken to avoid water hammer in both design and testing. Excessive hammer could damage any
component in a piping system.
Temperature Considerations: PVC: 150psi @ 73˚F derating to 66psi @ 140˚F
CPVC: 150psi @ 100˚F derating to 100psi @ 180˚F
