Innovative FlowGuard® Bendable composite pipe combines the corrosion-resistant benefits of CPVC with the flexibility and strength of aluminum in this one-of-a-kind, multi-layer pipe. Designed specifically for use under-slab, this new bendable piping system is significantly less expensive than type L copper.
FlowGuard® Bendable consists of an inner layer of CPVC, a middle layer of butt-welded aluminum and an outside layer of CPVC. All of the layers are bonded with an adhesive that has been proven by ASTM testing to withstand water temperatures up to 180F (82°c). Assembly of the pipe incorporates an internal bushing and the standard ASTRAL CPVC fitting, along with the use of one-step solvent cement.
This kink-resistant system allows for long runs of potable water pipe to be bent and protrude through concrete with all joints made above grade. Its excellent combination of flexibility and rigidity keeps the pipe workable, yet it stays in place. This unique combination results in reduced installation time which translates into a lower installed cost compared to other piping options.
FEATURES & BENEFITS :
• Excellent combination of flexibility and rigidity allows the pipe to be workable yet hold shape
• Perfect replacement product for Metal pipes
• Extra toughness provided by aluminum middle layer
• Kink-resistant
• Proven reliability of solvent cement joint
• Hanger spacing can be increased in overhead applications
• Long-term pressure performance is not affected by chlorine or common water disinfectants
• Suitable for continuous recirculation
• Long-term pressure bearing capability does not diminish with UV exposure or age
• Backed by Lubrizol’s 45+ years of expertise in CPVC piping systems
• Not permeable by trace amounts of common aromatic solvents that may be present in soil due to pesticide applications
• Will not sustain combustion
• No special tools required
• Use with ASTRAL FlowGuard® CPVC fittings
AVAILABLE SIZE : ½”, ¾” and 1” dia.

This kink-resistant system allows for long runs of potable water pipe to be bent protrude through concrete with all joints made above grade. its excellent combination of flexibility and rigidity keeps the pipe workable, Yet it stays in place. This unique combination results in reduced installation time which translates into a lower installed cost compared to other piping options.
Available in ½",¾' and 1" dia. it offers a straight professional appearance and does not require special cuttiong tools. It has been proven suitable even for continuous recirculating, as its long-term pressure performance is not affected by chlorine or other common water disinfectants. Nor is it adversely affected by UV exposure or age.
Backed by nearly 50 years of experience in CPVC piping systems, Flowguard® Bendable is also safe to use in as much as it will not sustain combustion; nor does it require an open flame for soldering during installation.
