UPVC Pipes & Fittings

Ganga is using world class raw material of Reliance Industries Ltd,Manufacturing ofUPVC (Unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride) cold water plumbing systems in India.

UPVC refers to Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride. As the name suggests, it does not contain phthalates or BPA, rendering a safe product for the environment while still maintaining the benefits of a plastic and vinyl. UPVC is a robust material,especially used in Pipes & Fittings due to its thermal efficiency and durability.

Instructions about Solvent Cement Application

We believe in manufacturing world class quality products and we used to apply same method while outsource of any products which used for application of our products. Solvent we outsource from world best manufacturer HP Adhesive Pvt Ltd and company having all required facilities and certifications.HP Adhesive having franchisee license from INVOUGE INC, New York (NY) U.S.A. and having above certifications.

General description:

GENERAL DESCRIPTION: HP 917 is a clear or gray, low VOC emission, heavy bodied, medium setting, high strength PVC solvent cement for all classes and schedules of pipe and fittings, including Schedule 80, with interference fit through 12 inch (315 mm) diameter. It has good gap filling properties and is recommended for solvent cementing joints where a sizable gap exists between pipe and fitting – e.g. large pipe sizes – and when more working time is required in warm weather

Application:

HP 917 is for use on all types of PVC plastic pipe applications, Type I and Type II. It is suitable for use with potable water pressure systems, irrigation, turf, conduit, industrial pipe applications, sewer, drain, waste and vent systems. Detailed directions on making solvent cemented joints are printed on the container label. An installation DVD/CD covering solvent cementing is available. It not only describes the basic principles of solvent cementing, but also covers the handling, storage and use of our products. It is highly recommended that the installer review the instructions supplied by the pipe and fitting manufacturer.

Availability:

This product is available in 10ml and 20ml Aluminium Metal Tube, 57ML, 118 ml, 237 ml, 473 ml, metal cans. For detailed information on containers and applicators, see our current Price List.

Standards and certification listings:

Meets ASTM D 2564 Standard

Specifications:

COLOR: Clear or Gray RESIN: PVC SPECIFIC GRAVITY: 0.963 ± 0.040 BROOKFIELD VISCOSITY: Minimum 1600 cP @ 73° ± 2°F (23° ± 1°C)

Quality assurance:

HP 917 is carefully evaluated to assure that consistent high quality is maintained. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, gas chromatography, and additional in-depth testing ensures each batch is manufactured to exacting standards. A batch identification code is stamped on each can and assures traceability of all materials and processes used in manufacturing this solvent cement.

Special precaution:

HP solvent cements must never be used in PVC or CPVC piping system using or being tested by compressed air or gases; including airover-water booster. Do not use in conjunction with flue gas ventilation systems. Do not use a dry granular calcium hypochlorite as a disinfecting material for water purification in potable water piping systems. The introduction of granules or pellets of calcium hypochlorite with PVC or CPVC solvent cements and primers (including their vapors) may result in a violent chemical reaction if a water solution is not used. It is advisable to purify lines by pumping chlorinated water into the piping system – this solution will be non-volatile. Furthermore, dry granular calcium hypochlorite should not be stored or used near solvent cements and primers.

This product is intended for use by skilled individuals at their own risk. Installers should verify for themselves that they can make satisfactory joints under varying conditions. Detailed directions on making solvent cemented joints are printed on the container label. It is highly recommended that the installer review the instructions supplied by the pipe and fitting manufacturer.

Solvent Cement Set & Cure Times

Average initial set schedule for UPVC solvent cementt

Temperature Range	Pipe Sizes ½”-1¼” (15 mm – 32 mm)	Pipe Sizes 1½”-2” (40 mm – 50 mm)
60? – 100?F / 16? – 38?C	2 minutes	5 minutes
40? – 60?F / 5? – 16?C	5 minutes	10 minutes
0? – 40?F / -18? – 5?	10 minutes	15 minutes

Note - Initial set schedule is the necessary time to allow before the joint can be carefully handled. In damp or humid weather allow 50% more set time.

Average joint cure schedule for UPVC solvent cement

Relative Humidity 60% or Less	Pipe Sizes ½”-1¼” (15 mm – 32 mm)		Pipe Sizes 1½”-2” (40 mm – 50 mm)
Temperature range during assembly and cure periods
	psi (Bar)		psi (Bar)
	up to 160 (up to 11)	160 to 370 (11 to 26)	up to 160 (up to 11)	160 to 315 (11 to 22)
60? – 100?F / 16? – 38?C	15 minutes	6 minutes	30 minutes	12 Hours
40? – 60?F / 5? – 16?C	20 minutes	12 Hours	45 minutes	24 Hours
0? – 40?F / -18? – 5?C	30 minutes	48 Hours	1 Hour	96 minutes

Note - Joint cure schedule is the necessary time to allow before pressurizing system. In damp or humid weather allow 50% more cure time.

Caution: These figures are estimates based on testing done under laboratory conditions. Although this information is widely published across the industry, these charts should be used as a general reference only. Field working conditions can vary significantly and will increase set and cure times.
