BlazeMaster® CPVC offers the best products available for fire protection systems and is the most specified non-metallic fire sprinkler system, offering significant advantages over steel and superior performance compared to other CPVC products. But beyond quality materials and extensive specifications, BlazeMaster® CPVC also offers a level of expertise and support that is unmatched in India and beyond. We have the resources to support everyone from developers, end-customers, consultants, contractors and installers.
Our expertise starts with deep experience and expertise in the fire protection system industry. We serve on NFPA technical committees, so we know the details regarding latest regulations and best practices.
Supporting Successful Installations
Our partners in India, Ashirvad Pipes serve the market through their strong network of front-line sales force. They are supported by our qualified team of area managers who are stationed across all major metro cities in India. Their primary day-to-day mission is helping customers and stakeholders understand the capabilities of BlazeMaster® CPVC and its applications.
It’s not about selling – it’s about creating more effective installations. A smooth installation is good for everyone, so we want to ensure everyone involved is prepared for success. We help explain listings, conduct site visits and help contractors find solutions.
For example, a contractor may be trying to understand the best way to install a fire protection system in a space constrained corridor of a live hotel. Installing steel pipe would require numerous shutdowns, creating business disruptions and guest discomfort. Our team can help the contractor understand the design capabilities of BlazeMaster® CPVC and it's easy installation and joining procedure. BlazeMaster® Fire Protection System helps eliminate the need to shut down the operational hotel, and also ensures a quick and noise-less installation - hence not disturbing any guest.
Training and support is a never-ending commitment to ensure everyone who touches the product understands where and how BlazeMaster® CPVC should be used – and where it shouldn’t. This includes:
- Installation Training: Fire Protection System Installers in India have been using steel, and many times are not very familiar with using CPVC piping in their projects,and are thus not aware of the tremendous installation advantage BlazeMaster® CPVC pipes offer against steel (click here to know more). BlazeMaster® has designed an installation training program to train contractors, which is conducted online. In response to social distancing measures related to COVID-19, BlazeMaster® launched an expanded live online training program in 2020. An installation training program organized in mid 2020 in India saw tremendous response from more than 150 participants from the industry. Some 30 participants successfully completed the training by achieving a minimum cut-off score of 75% in a test conducted after the training - and received the coveted BlazeMaster® Installation Training Certificate.
- Contractor and Distributor Training: The BlazeMaster® CPVC team provides face-to-face training for larger contractors as well as distributors that typically work with numerous medium and small-sized contractors and installers.
- Special Training for Fire Protection Professionals: The BlazeMaster® team offers frequent sessions wherever needed to educate AHJs as well as local fire and building officials on the installation, use and maintenance of fire protection systems.
- Support for Developers: Our team works directly with developers to ensure they understand the product and help them troubleshoot any issues they may be facing along the way.
Supporting Consultants and Developers
As both National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) prefer usage of Hydraulic Calculation for designing Fire Sprinkler System, we support the Indian industry by working with the developers as well as consultants to encourage the use of Hydraulic calculations over pipe scheduling for the sprinkler systems in their projects. When choosing BlazeMaster® CPVC over steel, hydraulic design helps in downsizing a piping network, thus opening tremendous opportunity to reduce the project cost and make the fire protection system efficient.
Together, all these resources add up to our commitment towards the partnership and success of everyone who makes, uses or inspects our products. Supporting effective installations is about much more than the resins and chlorine in BlazeMaster® CPVC. It’s about the relationships we forge with everyone involved in the process of keeping people safe through effective fire protection systems.
