PVC Pipes

PVC Pipes

Finolex PVC pipes and fittings are synonymous with superior quality, robust strength, and unequalled durability. PVC stands for polyvinyl chloride, one of the most widely used polymers in the world. Due to its versatile nature, PVC is used extensively across a broad range of industrial, technical, and everyday applications. PVC pipes are manufactured using PVC resin as a raw material through an extrusion process.

Finolex Pipes are made from high grade in-house manufactured PVC resin and advanced extrusion machines and subjected to numerous quality tests to ensure extreme weather withstanding capacity and perfect for everyday usage.

A reputation we have earned by being tough on ourselves by keeping tight. checks on raw materials, processes, compositions, and thicknesses.

PVC pipes are mainly categorised into Unplasticized PVC (UPVC) & Chlorinated PVC (CPVC) pipes.

UPVC stands for Unplasticised PVC, which means no plasticiser has been added to the PVC compound. Unplasticised PVC is also known as rigid PVC. Manufactured with added strength and crafting precision, Finolex PVC-U pipes have a prolonged life advantage over conventional pipes surpassing most or all traditional metal and other plastic pipes.

CPVC is a thermoplastic produced by chlorination of polyvinyl chloride resin. CPVC is significantly more flexible than PVC and can also withstand higher temperatures. Finolex CPVC Pipes are manufactured using high grade raw material and the latest technology, making them ideal for hot and cold-water applications. These pipes can withstand higher temperatures as compared to any other plastic piping system.

Do's & Dont's

  • Use pipes, fittings and solvent cements manufactured by Finolex Industries for best results.
  • Installation should be completed as per instructions and recommended safe practices must be followed.
  • Clean the pipe and fittings with a clean dry cloth to remove any dirt.
  • Keep pipe and fittings in the original packaging until used.
  • Cut the pipe as square or perpendicular as possible before making a joint.
  • Ensure no sharp edges are in contact with the fittings surface while inserting the pipe.
  • Ensure proper alignment of pipe and fittings to avoid stress on the joints.
  • Ensure installation is done in such a way that there are no chances of air entrapment.
  • Use only teflon tape as a thread sealant.
  • Always conduct hydraulic pressure testing after installation to detect any leaks and faults.
  • Wait for the appropriate cure time before pressure testing. Fill lines slowly and allow air to escape from the system prior to pressure testing.
  • Do not use metal hooks or nails to support/hold or put pressure on the pipes.
  • Do not use straps and hangers with rough or sharp edges. Do not tighten the straps over the pipes.
  • Never expose the pipe to open flame while trying to bend it.
  • Do not drop pipes on edges from heights. Do not drop heavy objects on pipes or walk on pipes.
  • Do not use air or gases for pressure testing.
  • Do not use any other petroleum or solvent-based sealant, adhesive, lubricant or fire-stop material on PVC pipes & fittings.
  • Do not use PVC pipes and fittings for pneumatic applications.
  • Do not use the PVC piping system to support any metallic components.
  • Do not use PVC solvent cement that exceeds its shelf life, has become discoloured or has gelled.

    • FAQs

    • What are the major features and benefits of Finolex PVC pipes?

      Finolex PVC pipes and fittings have superior quality, robust strength, and unequalled durability. Manufactured with added strength and crafting precision, Finolex PVC-U pipes have a prolonged life advantage over conventional pipes surpassing most or all traditional metal and other plastic pipes.

    • Can Finolex PVC pipes be used and exposed to sunlight?

      Finolex ASTM plumbing pipes and fittings contain stabilizers to protect pipes against harmful UV rays present in sunlight. Even after several years of usage, the performance of pipes is not affected. PVC pipe used in permanent outdoor exposures is recommended to be protected by light coloured water-based paint and not oil based paint.

    • What is the normal chlorine % in PVC and CPVC Pipes?

      PVC pipes normally have 57 % chlorine in it, as against, 67 % chlorine in CPVC. This enhanced chlorine % in CPVC, makes it ideal for cold and hot water plumbing applications and it can withstand higher temperatures of running water.

    • Can Finolex Pipes be used for drinking / potable water?

      Finolex ASTM Pipes can safely be used for plumbing applications including potable or drinking water. Finolex ASTM pipes are manufactured by using high grade Finolex PVC resin and unique compounding which is lead free. Thus, it is safe for potable water supply.
