BlazeMaster® CPVC Installation Basics

Installation Advantages of BlazeMaster CPVC

BlazeMaster® fire sprinkler systems are lightweight, flexible and join together using a quick, one-step solvent cement process. When compared to metal systems, this enables building owners and contractors to save time, limit costs, and avoid unnecessary occupant disruptions.

BlazeMaster CPVC pipe and fittings are easy to work with and allow for flexibility during the installation process. Specifically, BlazeMaster CPVC is:

  • Simple to use: Install BlazeMaster fire sprinkler systems without specialized tools, electricity and highly skilled labor.
  • Lightweight: Speed up installation while reducing labor costs. One-person teams can transport and install CPVC pipe without support or specialized equipment.
  • Easy to cut and fabricate: Eliminate the need for prefabrication, and allow for on-the-spot adjustments.
  • Versatile: Attach the pipe directly to a ceiling or wall, and install it in concealed or exposed locations.
  • Flexible: Easily maneuver CPVC pipe through tight hallways, and install in hard-to-reach areas.
  • Limit disruptions: Avoid using loud threading machines and limit unnecessary occupant disruptions.
  • Safer: No torches or heat fusion is required, which creates a safer job site and eliminates the need for costly hot-work permits.
