Product Description
ASTM Plumbing Pipes
ASTM Plumbing Pipes with both end threaded are manufactured as per ASTM specifications. These pipes are light in weight, durable and non-corroding, economical, maintenance free, fire retardant, easy to install and reliable. These pipes are available in 3/6 meters length in blue and cream color. ASTM plumbing pipes with both end threaded when manufactured consumes much lesser energy than a metal pipe of the same size & dimension. ASTM Plumbing pipes manufactured by our Company ranges from Ø 20 mm to Ø 50 mm and in schedule 40 and 80. These pipes have applications in areas of water supply, drainage, industrial uses, irrigation and sprinkler system and in power stations.
Application
Rigid PVC plumbing pipe are an unusual versatile product as it evident from the diverse applications some of which are listed below.
- Potable water services.
- Industrial/Chemical.
- Power station screening pipeline & power station chlorination plant.
- Sewage main-pumped & gravity fed.
- Drainage installation- Domestic & industrial and many other.
Specification
Made from uPVC, ASTM plumbing pipes are available in
- Blue and cream color.
- Pipe made as per ASTM-D-1785.
- Thread made as per IS:1239 (Part1).
- Sizes vary from Ø 20 mm to Ø 50 mm and in schedule 40 & 80.
- Properties remain unchanged up to temperature 60º C in continuous and 90º C for short time.
- Tested for potable and drinking water supply.
- Remains unaffected to rust, corrosion and chemical reaction (up to certain extent).
Joining Instructions
- While threading at the site, ensure square cut of the pipe ends, insert proper size wooden plug in the pipe end then carry out threading. Adding cold water while threading improves the quality of threads.
- Use of cushion between jaws of the pipe wrench while holding the pipe is advisable to avoid damage to the pipe.
- The joint should be clean and threads should be made in one pass.
- For Sealing of joints best quality of PTFE tape must be used. This will avoid the damage to the threads & avoid leakage.
- The joints should be made with hand tightening of the fitting over the pipe end covered with PTFE tape.
- Avoid over tightening to the pipes.
- All the pipe lines should be supported approximately at a distance of 0.8 mtrs for horizontal service & 1.2 mtrs for vertical service with pipe clips.
N.B.
PVC pipes should not normally be used for the conveyance of hot fluids under pressure.
