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