Fourth generation PVC pipes – OPVC pipes as a replacement for ductile iron pipes
Oriented polyvinyl chloride (OPVC) pipes are a sort of new generation pipe which can be used for water conveyance at high pressure. OPVC pipes are generally of higher standard and quality as compared to other piping systems. Also, when used in apt projects, they incur fewer expenses. Using these pipes as suitable projects can significantly bring down the expense by at least 20 to 30%. These pipes add to the longevity of the piping system.
The best part about OPVC pipes is that they are easy to install and handle. Their high-performance caliber, low carbon emission, and cost-effective design make these pipes the best choice for our clients.
OPVC pipes have a shelf life of about 100 years. When installed correctly by professionals, these pipes have a greater life expectancy as compared to DI pipes and PVC pipes.
| FEATURE | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| Wide Range Available | Sizes from 110mm to 630mm diameter with pressure ratings of 12.5kg, 16kg, 20kg, and 25kg. |
| Lower Weight | Up to 2.5x lighter than PE 100 pipes and 8x lighter than Ductile Iron (DI) pipes, making transport and handling easier. |
| Higher Internal Diameter (ID) | Larger ID compared to PE 100 and DI pipes allows for greater water flow. |
| High Flow Capacity (C-150) | Delivers more water with minimal resistance, reducing energy costs. |
| Lower Water Hammer Effect | Excellent ductility reduces the risk of damage under negative pressure conditions. |
| Quick & Easy Installation | Push-fit joints enable fast, tool-free assembly—no welding or solvent cement required. |
| Versatile Terrain Installation | Can be easily laid in hilly areas, forests, high water table regions, and varied terrains. |
| Minimal Equipment Needed | Pipes up to 315mm can be installed without heavy machinery, reducing project costs. |
| Lowest Carbon Emission | Environmentally friendly with the least carbon footprint among piping systems. |
| Green Product | Contains no heavy metals—ideal for sustainable and eco-safe infrastructure. |
| Energy Efficient | Higher ID and C-150 rating ensure lowest pumping and energy costs. |
| Flexible for Long Installations | Handles up to 22° bends without requiring separate fittings. |
| Fast Project Completion | Faster installation speeds reduce both timeline and labor costs. |
| Simple Trenching | No need for concrete bedding (unlike GRP pipes); light weight enables easy trench work. |
| Cost-Effective Specials | OPVC fittings like bends, joints, and reducers are cheaper than DI equivalents. |
| Homogeneous Socket | Single-process socketing during pipe orientation ensures high socket strength. |
| Secure Push-Fit Joints | Features Anger Lock EPDM rubber with PP lip, compliant with ISO standards. |
| Standard Lengths | Supplied in 6-meter lengths (including socket) with minimal overlap depending on diameter. |
| Temperature Resistant | Performs reliably in water temperatures ranging from 1°C to 45°C. |
