Why Should You Use BlazeMaster® Fire Sprinkler System?


With over 60 years of trust and legacy of Lubrizol’s Technology, BlazeMaster® Fire Sprinkler System is one of the best solutions for fire compliance in residential, commercial or government buildings. BlazeMaster® CPVC technology is a non-metallic fire sprinkler system that replaces metal pipes with thermoplastic pipes. Let’s have a look at how this revolutionary technology is offering the best fire-fighting solution in India as well as the world.

What is CPVC?

CPVCs are PVC polymers that are subjected to a free radical chlorination reaction which is why they are called Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chlorides. Even though CPVC shares most of its properties with the PVC pipes, it has some key differences. CPVCs are readily workable, including machining, welding, and forming along with their capability to be heat resistant and corrosion resistant. Because of these breakthrough features as well as its ability to shape, bend and weld without the use of heat makes CPVCs a great alternative to metal Fire Fighting Sprinkler System.

How is CPVC Different from Traditional Metal Pipes?

BlazeMaster® uses CPVC pipe and fittings to carry out the whole installation of the firefighting system. Usually, metal pipes are used for the installation of fire systems, but they have huge drawbacks. Let us take a look at why metallic pipes have a downside when it comes to using them in a Fire Sprinkler System:

        Metal Pipes are corrosive and require a lot of maintenance to carry out its smooth functioning.
        They are heavy duty and take up a lot of space and manpower for its installation process.
        Heat is required to weld and fuse the joints which might create a fire hazard.
        During the installation process, metal pipes make a lot of disturbance and they cannot be used as a fire compliance solution in compact spaces.

On the other hand, BlazeMaster’s non-metallic fire fighting sprinkler system is a non-corrosive, low-maintenance, hassle-free, compact and light-weight alternative which also produces less smoke and resists microbiologically influenced corrosion.

How Does BlazeMaster® Fire Fighting System Work?

BlazeMaster® Fire Protection System can be installed by anyone who follows the instruction manual carefully. You do not need a lot of manpower for the installation. You need a few tools along with the CPVC pipes and fittings and solvent cement to carry out the installation. Let us briefly look at the steps that one needs to follow:

  1. One should start by making precise cuts on the pipe and prepare the pipe for joint security.
  2. The pipes should be deburred, and they should be bevelled using a chamfering tool.
  3. After cleaning the edges using a damp cloth, you can begin applying the solvent cement.
  4. Now you can attach the fittings and the sprinkler heads and wipe the excess solvent cement.
  5. Be sure to follow the proper cure time and pressure as mentioned in the instruction manual.
  6. Finally, you have yourself a functional firefighting sprinkler system.

BlazeMaster® Fire Protection System comes with its fair share of national and international approvals and listings. BlazeMaster® CPVC has been approved by UL, FM, ASTM, NFPA, NSF as well as BIS. This builds a lot of trust and confidence in the minds of the consumers. BlazeMaster® Fire Fighting Sprinkler System is the world’s most specified firefighting system.
