This high-performance CPVC pipe is engineered for the safe and reliable transportation of hot, corrosive and aggressive fluids where traditional materials such as metal or standard plastics may fail. Designed for demanding industrial and process applications, it performs consistently at elevated temperatures while maintaining excellent pressure capability.

Manufactured using Corzan CPVC compounds, the pipe offers outstanding resistance to acids, alkalis, effluents and demineralised water. Its non-toxic, taint-free formulation makes it suitable for potable water and sensitive applications, including food, beverage and medical processes, subject to site testing.

The smooth internal bore reduces friction losses and inhibits scale build-up, improving flow efficiency and lowering long-term pumping costs. Lightweight construction simplifies handling and installation, while solvent-weld jointing provides fast, reliable assembly without the need for hot works permits.

This pipe forms part of a fully matched Corzan CPVC system and is joined to compatible fittings using PVC-C solvent cement, available within the Corzan accessories range.
