Fit it... Forget it...!

• The Pipes & Fittings are highly affordable alternative to both Copper & GI Piping system and reduces the overall cost as well as the maintenance cost over service life for the house owners
• Safe for drinking water & human health
• Corrosion free regardless of pH level in water. Thus, these pipes & fittings are highly popular in places with more aggressive soil or water and in concealed plumbing
• Low microbial growth
• Heat loss is much less in compared to metallic pipes, thereby, making these pipes more energy efficient water supply system
• Due to thinner outer surface, the inside diameter is bigger, hence, these pipes carry more water under similar conditions

Q1: What are Oriplast CPVC pipes and fittings made of?

A: Oriplast CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) pipes and fittings are manufactured from virgin, lead-free thermoplastic compounds treated with additional chlorination. This provides superior structural strength, chemical stability, and heat resistance over standard PVC.

Q2: Can Oriplast CPVC pipes be used for both hot and cold water supply?

A: Yes, Oriplast CPVC pipes are engineered for dual hot and cold water distribution systems. They perform reliably in continuous service temperatures up to 82°C to 93°C, making them ideal for geysers and solar water lines.

Q3: What standards and ISI certifications do Oriplast CPVC products hold?

A: Oriplast CPVC pipes and fittings conform to Indian and global quality benchmarks, including IS 15778 (ISI marked), ASTM D2846, ASTM F441/F441M, ASTM F438, ASTM F439, and ASTM F493.

Q4: Are Oriplast CPVC pipes safe for drinking (potable) water?

A: Yes, they are 100% safe for drinking water. Manufactured without heavy metal plasticizers or lead, Oriplast CPVC prevents bacterial growth, mineral scaling, and taste distortion.

Q5: What pipe classes and SDR pressure series are available?

A: Oriplast produces CPVC pipes across four primary classifications: Class I (SDR 11), Class II (SDR 13.5), Schedule 40, and Schedule 80.

Q6: What sizes do Oriplast CPVC pipes and fittings come in?

A: CPVC pipes are available in outer diameters ranging from 15 mm to 150 mm (½” to 6″), while CPVC fittings are supplied in standard sizes from ½” to 4″.

Q7: What CPVC fittings are included in the Oriplast product range?

A: The catalog includes Couplers/Sockets, Tees, Cross Tees, 90° & 45° Elbows, Reducers (Bushes, Tees, Elbows, Sockets), Unions, End Caps, Tank Connecting Nipples, Step Over Bends, Pipe Clips, and Ball Valves.

Q8: How are Oriplast CPVC pipes and fittings joined together?

A: Joints are sealed using Oriplast ‘Suretite’ CPVC Solvent Cement. This cold-welding process chemically fuses the pipe and fitting at the molecular level, creating a permanent, leak-proof bond.

Q9: Are Oriplast CPVC pipes resistant to UV radiation for outdoor use?

A: Yes, Oriplast CPVC incorporates UV-stabilized compounds that protect the material against solar degradation, preventing brittleness, cracking, and pressure loss under direct sunlight.

Q10: Are CPVC pipes better than traditional GI or Copper piping?

A: Yes, Oriplast CPVC is a cost-effective, non-corrosive alternative to GI and copper. It is lighter, completely rust-proof, insulates against heat loss, and significantly reduces installation and lifetime maintenance costs.

Q11: What is the expected lifespan of Oriplast CPVC pipes?

A: Oriplast CPVC plumbing systems are engineered as “Fit & Forget” solutions with an operational service life exceeding 50 years under recommended pressure and temperature conditions.

Q12: Can Oriplast CPVC pipes be installed in concealed wall lines?

A: Yes, their high impact strength, low thermal expansion, and seamless solvent-cemented joints make them ideal for concealed indoor plumbing inside walls and floors.

Q13: Do Oriplast CPVC pipes support fire safety?

A: Yes, CPVC is inherently flame-retardant and self-extinguishing. It has a high Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI) and will not support combustion or spread fire.

Q14: Can Oriplast CPVC pipes be used for industrial and chemical applications?

A: Yes, due to their chemical inertness, they are widely used in chemical plants, RO/DM water treatment facilities, hotels, hospitals, and swimming pool filtration systems.

Q15: Can CPVC pipes be used for compressed air or gas pipelines?

A: No, CPVC pipes are designed specifically for liquid conveyance and should not be used for compressed air or natural gas pipelines due to safety hazards.
