Product Specifications

PVC-U fittings are ideal for pipe installations due to their rigidity and versatility, suitable for temperatures ranging from 0°C to 60°C.
PVC-C offers enhanced temperature resistance and exceptional chemical resistance, making it suitable for demanding industrial applications.

Material Properties

PVC: A polymer containing 56% chlorine, environmentally friendly, and recyclable.
PVC-U: Non-plasticized, suitable for a wide range of pressures, lightweight, and easy to install.
PVC-C: Chlorinated PVC with superior temperature and chemical resistance.

Application Guide

PVC-U: Suitable for external or buried installations, resistant to various inorganic chemicals, and easy to install without special tools.
PVC-C: Suitable for temperatures up to 93°C, with good resistance to deformation and chemical exposure.

Certifications and Standards
Cepex products are certified by prestigious organizations, ensuring compliance with international standards for quality and environmental management.

Specifications
The document details specifications for PVC flexible hoses, known as Cepexflex, and their compatibility with Cepex PVC and PP fittings. It emphasizes the maximum pressure limits for normal suction and discharge operations, noting that these should not be used for continuous pressure.

Installation Recommendations
It is advised to use Cepex PVC fittings with AENOR certification and Cepex Bondtite adhesive for joining PVC flexible hoses. Compression fittings from the Cepex PP Performance Series are also suitable for quick assembly and disassembly. Special care should be taken during underground installations to avoid damage from sharp stones, and sand should be used for coverage. In pool or spa installations, hoses should be kept away from high chlorine concentrations.

Testing and Standards
The document outlines various tests conducted on PVC fittings and hoses to ensure quality and compliance with standards. These include hydrostatic pressure tests, thermal stability tests, water hammer simulations, and dimensional tests. The fittings undergo rigorous testing, including exposure to high temperatures and pressure cycles, to ensure durability and performance.

Key Tests

Hydrostatic Pressure: Tests are conducted at 20°C and 55°C to detect leaks and material failures.
Bending Radius: The minimum bending radius is typically five times the nominal diameter, but Cepex uses a smaller radius for higher quality.
Vacuum Test: A vacuum is applied for 10 minutes to check product stability.
Reinforcement Fracture: The hose is tested for cracks after being bent in opposite directions.
Pulsation Pressure: 10,000 cycles of pressure are applied to test durability, with specific pressure ranges for different diameters.

Quality Assurance
Quality control measures include dimensional checks every four hours on 2% of production, ensuring compliance with EN-1452 standards. The document emphasizes the importance of these tests in improving product quality and reliability.
