As summer approaches and the temperatures increase, here are a few safety and performance considerations to take into account when installing your BlazeMaster fire sprinkler systems for best results.
BlazeMaster CPVC® is specified for fire sprinkler applications around the world, including some of the hottest regions. As temperatures increase now we are entering summer, let's take a look at some of the ways installers are streamlining their business, working more safely and producing reliable results with BlazeMaster CPVC.
While a water distribution piping system can and should provide reliable results all year round, and while your team of installers should be trained and prepared to carry out installations safely and efficiently whatever the month of the year, there are certain unavoidable conditions that do make life more difficult during the hot months.
All of these factors are automatically more challenging if you are working with a heavy cumbersome source material like steel.
BlazeMaster CPVC is a reliable, durable and lightweight material for fire sprinkler system installation. Its inherent flame and corrosion resistance is optimised for fire safety and its ease of installation makes installing pipes, fittings and sprinkler heads quicker and more cost-effective. Its hydraulic performance also allows for more flexible design options, enabling you to do more, with less.
BlazeMaster CPVC solvent cement is approved for use in temperatures as low as -17° C and as high as 49° C.
BlazeMaster CPVC's solvent cement installation method offers installers plenty of immediate logistical and safety benefits, as detailed above. However, it is worth noting that in hot temperatures, solvent cement can penetrate more deeply. There are some considerations and best practices that must be taken into account when handling BlazeMaster Fire Protection Systems in harsher, outdoor climates.
BlazeMaster CPVC is empowering fire sprinkler installers worldwide to work safer and smarter, with materials that do not generate heat and therefore do not contribute further to a hazardous workplace, particularly in hot environments.
With proper handling of pipe and fitting materials and solvent cement, along with good practice in the application of these materials, you can optimise your systems for longer lasting fire safety and enjoy a stress free work environment in the process, all year round.
