Material Standards

CPVC piping components must meet specific material requirements as defined by ASTM standards.

  • *ASTM D1784: The standard specification for Rigid Poly(Vinyl Chloride) (PVC) Compounds and Chlorinated Poly(Vinyl Chloride) (CPVC) Compounds. CPVC applications require *Class 23447 compounds.
  • Typical CPVC Applications: Potable water distribution, corrosive fluid handling in industrial settings, and fire suppression systems.
