AquaRise, a hot and cold potable water distribution system for commercial, industrial and high buildings. Based on over 15 years` experience designing and manufacturing industry-leading CPVC systems, AquaRise offers numerous benefits over metal with a system that’s fully-approved for noncombustible applications. AquaRise also comes with technical support and jobsite trouble-shooting – all from one reliable supplier.
• SDR 21 Cold Potable Water Distribution System is available in 1-1/2" to 4" Iron Pipe Size (IPS) diameters.
Proven to Exceed Toughest Standards
Thanks to its advanced materials and rugged design, AquaRise SDR 11 provides a long term pressure rating of 400 psi at 23°C (73º F) and 150 psi at 71°C (160º F). AquaRise SDR 21 provides a long term pressure rating of 200 psi at 23°C (73º F), SDR 11 AquaRise fittings will be used. Both SDR 11 and SDR 21 meet the requirements of CSA B137.6, AquaRise passes the punishing burst pressure tests conforming to ASTM F442.
Better Long-Term Performance
Unlike metal piping which may pit, scale and degrade over time, AquaRise’s rugged thicker walls and excellent corrosion resistance ensure years of consistent flow and maintenance-free performance, even in demanding hot water recirculation applications.
Fully-Certified Compliance
Designed to be safely used in hot and cold water distribution systems, AquaRise complies with the following:
- CSA B137.6 (CPVC Pipe, Tubing and Fittings for Hot and Cold Water Distribution Systems)
- NSF 61 (Potable Water Classification)
