Introduction
CPVC Pipe Fittings or CPVC Pipes and Fittings
Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride or CPVC pipes and fittings are thermoplastic materials made with CPVC resins. They are one of the most strong and long-lasting materials utilized in piping applications for over 60 years now. They are more adaptable and can withstand higher temperatures when contrasted with PVC pipes.
CPVC is resistant to synthetic chemicals and can withstand high heat temperature and pressure, consequently making it an ideal material for residential, commercial, and industrial piping and fire sprinkler applications.
Ajay CPVC plumbing fittings are delivered from an exceptional blend of chlorinated polyvinyl chloride material with physical properties desirable for plumbing applications for both hot and cold water distribution systems. We equip the latest technology and high-quality raw materials to design CPVC pipes and fittings.
CPVC Pipe Fitting Names and their varieties
CPVC Plain Pipe Fitting
CPVC Plain fittings are fittings which are used to connect 2 or more CPVC pipes using CPVC solvent cements.
