This product is manufactured to SDR 11 physical dimensions and tolerances per ASTM D 2846 as stated on page 2of this specification, and as stated in Georg Fischer Harvel LLC Copper Tube Size CPVC Pipe Product Bulletin (HPB-108) which shall be referenced for proper handling, joining, and other installation recommendations. This product is intended for use in hot and cold waterservice lines for domestic plumbing applications and bears the NSF-pw stamp of approval for potable water use. Typical applicationsinclude water distribution systems in: apartments, condominiums, hotels/motels, high rises, single and multifamily homes, and variouscommercial systems. State and local codes must be referenced for proper application and restrictions prior to use.Scope:This specification outlines minimum manufacturing requirements for Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC) SDR 11 Series copper tubesize (CTS) plumbing pipe. This pipe is intended for use in piping systems where the fluid conveyed does not exceed 200°F. This pipemeets and or exceeds the industry standards and requirements as set forth by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)and the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF). CPVC Materials:The material used in the manufacture of the pipe shall be a rigid chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) compound, Type IV Grade I,with a Cell Classification of 23447 (CPVC4120) as defined in ASTM D1784. This compound shall be tan in color, and shall be approved bythe National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) for potable water use.Dimensions:CPVC CTS Series pipe shall be manufactured in strict accordance to the requirements of ASTM D2846 to SDR 11 dimensions and tolerances. Each production run of pipe manufactured in compliance to this standard, shall also meet or exceed the test requirements formaterials, workmanship, burst pressure, flattening resistance, and extrusion quality and dimensions as defined in ASTM D2846. This pipeshall be produced in CTS diameters (1/4" through 2" sizes) to SDR 11 specifications.Marking:Product marking shall meet the requirements of ASTM D2846 and shall include: the manufacturers name (or the manufacturers trademark when privately labeled); the nominal pipe size; the outside diameter system; the material designation code; the applicableStandard thermoplastic pipe Dimension Ratio designation code (SDR number) and the corresponding pressure rating in psi for water @ 180°F; the ASTM designation D2846; and the independent laboratory’s seal of approval for potable water usage. Sample Specification:All CPVC SDR 11 Series hot and cold water plumbing pipe shall be manufactured from a Type IV, Grade I Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride(CPVC) compound with a Cell Classification of 23447 (CPVC4120) per ASTM D1784. The pipe shall be manufactured in strict complianceto ASTM D2846, consistently meeting and/or exceeding the Quality Assurance test requirements of this standard with regard to pressurerating, material, workmanship, burst pressure, flattening resistance, and extrusion quality. The pipe shall be manufactured in the USA, by an ISO 9001 certified manufacturer. All pipe shall be packaged on-line immediately after its manufacture and stored indoors after production at the manufacturing site until shipped from factory. This pipe shall carry the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) seal ofapproval for potable water applications. All HydroKing® pipe shall be manufactured by Georg Fischer Harvel LLC. ©2012 Georg Fischer Harvel LLC • 300 Kuebler Road, Easton, PA 18040 • 610-252-7355 • Fax: 610-253-4436 • Harvel.comProduct SpecificationsHydroKing® CTS CPVC PipeHydroKing®CTSCPVCPipeProductSpecificationsCTS CPVC Dimensions & TolerancesPipe Average O.D.

All CTS CPVC pipe shall be Listed by theNational Sanitation Foundation (NSF) for conformance to ASTMD2846 and NSF Standard 14 and 61 requirements, which validateperformance characteristics and health affects. These listings arerequired for, and accepted by, major model building codes.Handling and StorageAll CTS CPVC pipe shall be provided boxed by the manufacturer,however, care shall be used when transporting, storing, andinstalling to prevent physical damage. Damaged sections must becut out and discarded prior to installation.InstallationInstallation shall be in accordance with the requirements of thelocal code having jurisdiction, the solvent cement manufacturerrecommendations, and Georg Fischer Harvel LLC published installation guidelines (HPB 108). Solvent Cement JoiningUse only CPVC solvent cement that conforms to ASTM F493; theuse of the wrong cement can result in joint failure. Prior to solventcementing appropriate safety precautions shall be taken. Two solvent cement joining processes are approved for use with thisproduct. The two-step solvent cement and primer process and one-step process. All solvent cemented joints shall be made up inaccordance with the procedures outlined in GF Harvel HPB 108HydroKing® CTS CPVC Pipe brochure and the solvent cement manufacturers instructions to ensure the highest system integrity.Thermal ExpansionConsideration shall be given at the design and installation of theplumbing system to address the effects that thermal expansion/contraction has on the piping system as a result of temperaturevariations. Refer to GF Harvel HPB 108 HydroKing® CTS CPVCPipe brochure for additional information.Chemical CompatibilityCare shall be taken by the end user to ensure that any substancescoming into contact with the piping (thread pastes, sealants, firestop materials, lubricants etc.) are chemically compatible withCPVC.
