BlazeMaster CPVC Is the Right Choice

Here's why BlazeMaster CPVC stands out against metallic piping systems for your commercial light hazard projects:

  • Lower material cost.
  • Quick, quiet, and clean installation using a one-step solvent cement process, meaning faster occupancy in new construction and less disruption for tenants during retrofits.
  • Corrosion resistance, which reduces long-term maintenance expenses and can increase system lifetime.
  • Weighs 84% less than Schedule 40 steel on average, reducing building load and enabling easier transport around a jobsite.
  • Less environmental impact to support green building projects.

The Value of BlazeMaster Fire Sprinkler Systems

For engineers and designers: BlazeMaster CPVC’s superior hydraulics can mean smaller diameter pipe sizes that allow installation in tight building tolerances and reduce building load.

For installers: Lighter CPVC pipe and fittings, combined with on-site fabrication using a one-step solvent-weld process, can increase labor efficiency and reduce installation times.

For building owners and property managers: BlazeMaster CPVC’s resistance to corrosion reduces sprinkler system maintenance.
