What is XFR pipe used for?

System XFR is a PVC pipe that is rated for installation in high-rise and plenum applications where tighter flame and smoke regulations previously limited the use of thermoplastic.

What is PVC XFR?

System XFR is the world’s first engineered PVC DWV system rated for high buildings and air plenums where the National Building Code mandates more stringent Flame Spread and Smoke Development requirements which previously limited the use of thermoplastic.

Is XFR pipe fire rated?

System XFR possesses superior fire- and smoke- retardant capabilities. When tested to the CAN/ULC-S102. 2 Standard, System XFR achieved a Flame Spread Rating of not greater than 25 and a Smoke Developed Classification of not greater than 50. Sizes range from 1-1/2″ to 18″ in diameter.

Is XFR combustible?

Suitable for use in combustible and noncombustible environments, System XFR’s advanced material has a Flame Spread Rating of 25 and Smoke Developed Classification of 50 which permits it to be installed in High Buildings and Air Return Plenums in accordance with local Codes.

What is XFR pipe made of?

PVC pipe
System XFR is a PVC pipe that is rated for installation in high-rise and plenum applications where tighter flame and smoke regulations previously limited the use of thermoplastic.

Is system 15 the same as XFR?

System 15® and System XFR® by IPEX are two compatible product lines designed for use in Drain, Waste and Vent (DWV) applications for buildings designated as noncombustible construction.

What is PVC DWV pipe?

What is DWV PVC? Instead, DWV pipe and fittings are made to handle a different class of uses – Drain, Waste, and Vent (hence the name DWV). Drain, waste, and vent applications use gravity to create the flow of water and waste through the pipe line.

What is difference between PVC and CPVC pipe?

The main difference between CPVC and PVC is the range of temperatures each is capable of withstanding. CPVC can handle temperatures up to 200° Fahrenheit, while PVC peaks at 140° Fahrenheit.

What is System 15 pipe used for?

System 15 is designed for the majority of low-rise and light commercial applications where DWV systems don’t run through air plenums. CSA certified Schedule 40 pipe and fittings connect fast and easily using solvent cement.

Can you use PVC fittings on ABS pipe?

It is possible to join ABS to PVC, but it is only supposed to be done with a mechanical coupling, not glued. There are two commonly used plastics for drain, waste, and vent pipes inside of homes: ABS (black) and PVC (white, mostly).
