FITTINGS: Astral Fire Pro CPVC Sprinkler fittings conform to the requirement of ASTM F438 (Schedule 40) &
ASTM F439 (Schedule 80). Female threaded adapters for sprinkler head connections will contain brass inserts or
other suitable metallic inserts.

SOLVENT CEMENT: Astral Fire Pro CPVC socket connections should be joined with IPS weld-on solvent cement
which meets ASTM F493. No other solvent cements are recommended for use with Astral Fire Pro products and
use of such non-approved welding agents will invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty.

 ASTRAL FIRE PRO CPVC SYSTEM FOR CONTRACTORS

Installation of Astral Fire Pro pipes and fittings is fast and easy. No special rigging or heavy equipment is required to
move the pipe into a building. Pipe can be cut on-site with simple hand tools. A one-step joining system makes
installations fast, keeping labor costs to a minimum. Because no heavy equipment is involved in moving and installing
pipes and fittings on-site, there is less conflict with other trades. Work can be done quickly and easily around dry
wallers, framers and other mechanical contractors.

Most hangers designed for metal pipe are suitable for Astral Fire Pro CPVC system. Because Astral Fire Pro pipe is rigid
and inherently strong, it requires fewer hangers and supports than other thermoplastic pipe, reducing material and
labor costs.

& CONTRACTION
FIRE PRO CPVC Fire sprinkler products, like all piping materials, expand and contract with changes in temperature.
REDUCER BUSH RESCUE TAPE If the coefficient of linear expansion is 3.4 x 10-5 inch / inch-ºF, a 25º F (4ºC) change in temperature will cause an
expansion of 1 inch (25 mm) for a 100-foot (30 m) straight length. For most operating and installation conditions,
expansion and contraction can be accommodated at change of direction.

Since CPVC fire sprinkler pipe is rigid, it requires fewer supports than flexible, plastic systems. Astral Poly Technik
Ltd. recommends use of hangers that are designed and listed for supporting the CPVC Fire Sprinkler pipe.
Size Product Code Std. Pkg. However, some hangers designed for steel pipe may be used if their suitability is clearly established.
(Mtr.) (Nos.)
Note: These hangers must have a minimum ½ inch (13 mm), load-bearing surface and they must be selected to

 SET & CURE TIME
Inadequate curing of solvent cement joints may cause pipe failure or leakage.
Solvent cement set and cure time are a function of pipe size, temperature, relative humidity, and tightness of fit.
Cure time should be increased when moisture is present such as during cut-ins to live sprinkler lines. The assembly
must be allowed to set, without any stress on the joint, for 1 to 5 minutes, depending on pipe size and temperature.
Following the initial set period, the assembly can be handled carefully, avoiding significant stresses to the joint.
Refer to Tables 1, 2 and 3 for MINIMUM cure time prior to pressure testing.
