How to Choose the Right Pipes for Safe and Clean Potable Water?

When choosing pipes and pressure pipe fittings to provide safe and clean potable water for your home, there are several factors that you need to consider before making your choice. Astral Pipes has a wide range of choices for you to choose from.

But first, here are some tips to help you choose the right pipes and fittings based on your needs:

We offer pipes made of different materials, such as CPVC NSF CERTIFIED , LEAD FREE uPVC.

• Pressure rating: Ensure that the pressure rating of the pipes matches the water supply system’s pressure. Additionally, learn about the pressure rating of the pressure pipe fittings to ensure that they can handle the water pressure.

• Certification: Pipes and fittings come with certain certifications FOR CPVC, like ISI Certifications from Bureau of Indian Standard (BIS), NSF-ANSI 61, and ASTM, etc. Ensure that the pipes you choose meet the required standards.FOR UPVC ASTM

List of Astral Pipes that you can choose for safe and potable water services:

Astral Multipro can withstand up to 93ºC, its middle aluminium layer provides good strength. The aluminium layer also helps in controlling the amount of expansion and contraction of the pipes and, therefore, can be used in harsh weather conditions. It is also easy to maintain.

They are appropriate for the following kind:

• Hot and Cold Water Installation
• Open Exposure Installation
• Buried Installation
• Concealed Installation
• Building supply lines
• Concrete-encased piping

Astral CPVC PRO Piping System works with hot and cold water. It can withstand high temperatures compared to any other thermoplastic plumbing system.

They are corrosion-resistant, cost-effective, and have good wear-and-tear strength.

Astral Pex-a PRO, is a hot and cold plumbing system made of cross-linked polyethylene pipes. It is based on expansion ring technology. The pipes and fittings are joined using the plastic memory of the Pex-a PRO pipes.

The components of the Pex-a pro system are:

• Pex-a pipes – Built on a modern technology based on the peroxide cross-linking process (PEX-a), that uses the latest high power infrared ray ovens
• Plastic Rings – These are made using special high-tech polymers, enabling better dimensional precision in the rings that facilitate the assembly process. The rings are available in three different colours to make the pipelines easily identifiable.
• Brass / PPSU Fittings – These are high quality brass that comply with demanding EU sanitary standards. By using PPSU fittings, an entire plastic piping system is possible, without compromising hydraulic properties.
