It is a common misconception that BlazeMaster® CPVC pipe and fittings are manufactured by Lubrizol Advanced Materials. In reality – you cannot buy BlazeMaster CPVC pipe and fittings from Lubrizol.
Actually, BlazeMaster CPVC compound is engineered and manufactured by Lubrizol, and then extruded into pipe and moulded into fittings and made widely available by our network of partner manufacturers.
In the UK, we’re fortunate to partner with two extremely strong and reliable partners: Tyco/Johnson Controls (Manchester) and Viking (Birmingham, Epworh and Doncaster). Both have a proven track record of producing the highest quality materials and must comply with BlazeMaster CPVC’s Quality Assurance Program, which ensures that each product is made with the consistent quality to maintain the strict standards set forth by Lubrizol, regardless of when, where and by whom it is manufactured.
Full Support from Manufacturing Partners and BlazeMaster CPVC
The high standards of these two manufacturing partners is apparent throughout their organizations. Both are dedicated to fire safety and to ensuring that everyone involved in specifying and installing a fire protection system is fully compliant in terms of their knowledge and expertise. So much so, in fact, that they will sell their BlazeMaster CPVC pipe and fittings only to certified fire protection system installers. Certification may be earned through one of several schemes, including:
- The FIRAS installer certification scheme from Warringtonfire, which offers certification for residential or industrial sprinkler systems and is among several other protection schemes (as listed by UKAS, United Kingdom Accreditation Services)
- IFC Certification Limited (as listed by UKAS)
- British Research Establishment (BRE Group) Loss Prevention Certification Board (LCPB) standards and certification (as listed by UKAS)
- Xact Fire Safety and Fire Engineering Sprinkler Courses
- British Automatic Fire Sprinkler Association
Both Tyco/Johnson Controls and Viking also offer their own specific in-person training courses, available only to accredited installers.
Specifying and Installing with Confidence
Both manufacturers offer a wide variety of fire safety products – and expertise – beyond their relationships with BlazeMaster CPVC. They are global leaders whose dedication to fire safety is well known and well documented. They offer valuable engineering and field expertise, and make that knowledge available to building owners, specifiers, design engineers and contractor installers.
BlazeMaster CPVC in the UK works with both manufacturers on a regular basis and often provides support for their in-house training classes.
We have developed enviable working relationships over the years that have resulted in fire protection in homes and buildings across the nation. Their dedication to and belief in CPVC – specifically BlazeMaster CPVC – has helped to build the industry confidence so vital in building the BlazeMaster CPVC brand across the United Kingdom.
