What is Aquadex Dadex upvc Pressure pipe 1″ sch-80 ?

 

manufactures the Aquadex uPVC Pressure Pipe System, which is designed for water distribution, industrial fluid handling, HVAC chilled-water systems, irrigation, and chemical service applications. The 1-inch Schedule 80 (SCH-80) pipe is a heavy-wall uPVC pressure pipe that provides higher pressure resistance than Schedule 40 pipes of the same size.

The Aquadex Dadex 1″ SCH-80 pipe is manufactured from unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (uPVC), a rigid thermoplastic material known for:

• High pressure strength
• Corrosion resistance
• Smooth internal bore
• Chemical resistance
• Lightweight construction
• Long service life
• Low friction losses

Schedule 80 pipes have thicker walls than Schedule 40 pipes, making them suitable for higher-pressure systems and more demanding industrial applications.

Typical Specifications (1″ SCH-80)

Main Features

• Excellent resistance to rust and scaling.
• Smooth inner surface reduces pressure losses.
• Resistant to acids, alkalis, salts, and many chemicals.
• Non-conductive and electrically safe.
• Resistant to bacterial and microbial growth.
• Lightweight and easy to transport.
• Long service life, often exceeding 50 years under proper operating conditions.
• Self-extinguishing material with good fire performance.

HVAC Applications

For HVAC systems, the 1″ SCH-80 Aquadex Dadex pipe is commonly used for:

• Chilled water circulation lines
• Cooling tower piping
• Air-conditioning water distribution
• Process cooling systems
• Condensate discharge systems
• Refrigeration plant water lines

Dadex specifically lists chilled-water and air-conditioning plant piping among the intended applications of its Aquadex pressure pipe systems.

Hot and Cold Water Supply Aquadex Dadex upvc Pressure pipe 1″ sch-80

Cold Water

The pipe is highly suitable for:

• Potable water supply
• Domestic plumbing
• Commercial buildings
• Industrial water distribution
• Irrigation systems

Hot Water

Although SCH-80 has a thicker wall, standard uPVC is generally recommended for temperatures up to about 60°C (140°F). For continuous hot-water systems above this temperature, CPVC is usually preferred because it can withstand higher temperatures. Pressure ratings also decrease as temperature increases.

Installation Method

1. Cutting

• Cut pipe square using a PVC pipe cutter or fine-tooth saw.
• Remove burrs from inside and outside edges.

2. Dry Fit

• Test-fit all fittings before applying cement.

3. Cleaning

• Clean pipe and fitting sockets using PVC cleaner or primer.

4. Solvent Cementing

• Apply PVC solvent cement evenly.
• Insert pipe fully into fitting socket.
• Rotate about ¼ turn during insertion.
• Hold for several seconds to prevent push-out.

5. Curing

• Allow proper curing time before pressure testing.

6. Pressure Testing

• Perform hydrostatic pressure testing according to project specifications.

Recommended Uses

• HVAC chilled water systems
• Cooling towers
• Commercial buildings
• Water treatment plants
• Industrial process piping
• Chemical transfer systems
• Irrigation networks
• Fire-ring mains
• Effluent and slurry lines
• Power plant utility piping
