🛠️ Installation Guidelines
- Cutting: Use a fine-toothed saw or pipe cutter for clean edges.
- Joining: Solvent cement welding is recommended for leak-proof joints.
- Support: Provide proper supports every 1–1.5 meters to prevent sagging.
- Testing: Conduct hydrostatic pressure tests before commissioning.
- Insulation: For hot water lines, insulate pipes to prevent heat loss and protect against expansion.
🔧 Usage Applications
- HVAC Systems: Used for chilled water and hot water circulation due to high pressure resistance.
- Hot & Cold Water Supply: Ideal for residential and commercial plumbing.
- High-Rise Buildings: Suitable for vertical risers and pressure water distribution.
- Sewer Systems: Can be used in high-rise sewer applications due to strength and chemical resistance.
⚠️ Risks & Considerations
- Temperature Limitations: While suitable for hot water, extreme temperatures above 60–70°C may reduce lifespan.
- UV Exposure: Prolonged outdoor exposure without protection can degrade uPVC; use protective coatings or install indoors.
- Joint Integrity: Poor solvent welding can cause leaks; ensure proper curing time.
