IPEX - Drainage Systems for Noncombustible Buildings
From underground parking garages to hospitals to high buildings, more and more mechanical contractors and engineers are switching to a longlasting DWV solution. Why are PVC systems from IPEX becoming the new standard? As an integrated solution, System 15® and System XFR® meet all code requirements for noncombustible buildings. More importantly, they provide the required rugged reliability with all the added benefits of PVC. They’re lighter than their metal counterparts, making them easier to handle and install. Very durable, they resist corrosion and require virtually no maintenance. And they yield substantial cost savings both now and down the road.
Clearly System 15 and System XFR have raised the bar—and pipe—for DWV systems in noncombustible buildings.
Drain-GuardTM double containment piping systems provide safe transport of sanitary or storm drainage in critical areas. Should a leak occur, people, equipment and valuable property will be protected from possible harm.
Depending on your application, Drain-Guard is a double containment piping system using System 15 and/or System XFR as its primary components. The many performance benefits of System 15 and System XFR are enhanced by this dual pipe concept.
MJ GreyTM mechanical couplings are a great alternative to solvent welding when working in cold weather conditions or from heights in a scissor lift or bucket.
Lightweight, Easier to Install
A PVC system is as much as 75% lighter than equivalent lengths of cast iron, making it easier to handle, store and install. It’s so light no special equipment is needed to hoist it up during installation, making what used to be awkward, back-breaking work now an easy one man job. In this way, a PVC system can lower labour requirements and reduce installation costs.
Corrosion-Resistant, Less Maintenance
Unlike cast iron pipe, a PVC system doesn’t rust, pit, scale or corrode. In fact, its interior and exterior walls remain smooth in virtually any service condition, requiring virtually no maintenance and ensuring years of reliable service.
Cost–Savings Now and Over Long-term
No matter how you look at it, a PVC system is more cost-effective than a traditional metal system. It’s less costly to transport and store. It’s easier to install, bringing down installation costs. It lasts longer. What this all adds up to is substantial savings now and in the future.
A More Aesthetic Alternative
Sleek and streamlined, PVC presents a more pleasing, aesthetic alternative to traditional metal systems. And as they won’t rust and degrade, your PVC system will look as good in ten years as it does the day you install it.
