Myth:

Blazemaster pipes are heavy and also difficult to install.

Fact:

BlazeMaster® CPVC pipes are almost eight times lighter than steel. Not only is the material lightweight, but BlazeMaster® CPVC pipes also has superior hydraulic properties than metal pipes. This allows BlazeMaster® CPVC pipes to be downsized as compared to metal pipes.

A single person can handle the installation by solvent application on a lightweight pipe such as the BlazeMaster®, thereby reducing the labour cost.
