In addition to a lower material cost, Xirtec® pipe can significantly reduce labor and transportation costs on a typical installation, they are lightweight, easily handled, stored, cut and joined
Xirtec® PVC and CPVC are fundamentally ageless and impervious to normal weather conditions, these piping components in uninterrupted service and in a variety of demanding industrial applications have operated successfully for over 40 years
Xirtec® PVC and CPVC are immune to deterioration from naturally corrosive soil conditions as well as electrochemical and galvanic corrosion, this is particularly advantageous in underground installations where galvanic reaction often causes damage to metal piping products
The IPEX® vinyl systems, including pipe, valves and fittings, provide outstanding resistance to a wide range of chemicals such as most acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, halogens and more
Xirtec® has a substantially lower roughness factor than metal and other materials and since it does not rust, pit, scale or corrode, the interior walls remain smooth in virtually any service
IPEX® vinyl systems are designed to meet a broad range of service temperatures
With a low thermal conductivity factor, IPEX® vinyl systems have less heat loss or gain, thus sustaining service temperature more efficiently than metal piping, as a result, pipe insulation is often not required
With energy conservation a prime concern, you can rely on the fact that IPEX® manufacturing process for Xirtec® piping material requires less than half the energy needed to produce the equivalent size of carbon steel or steel alloy materials
