Ashirvad Flowguard Plus 1 Step CPVC Yellow Medium Solvent Cement

Ashirvad Flowguard Plus 1-Step CPVC Yellow Medium Solvent Cement is specifically formulated for joining CPVC pipes and fittings in potable water systems. This professional-grade cement creates a molecular fusion between CPVC surfaces, resulting in joints that are stronger than the pipe itself. The medium-bodied yellow formulation provides optimal gap-filling properties and working time, making it ideal for both professional plumbers and DIY installations.
The 1-step formula eliminates the need for separate primer application in most installations, streamlining the joining process while maintaining superior bond strength. The distinctive yellow color allows for easy visual verification of cement application, ensuring complete coverage for leak-free joints. Compatible with all Ashirvad Flowguard Plus CPVC pipes and fittings, this solvent cement is engineered to withstand continuous hot water service up to 93°C and maintains full pressure rating throughout the system’s lifespan.

Installation Guidelines

Surface Preparation: Cut pipe squarely, deburr, and chamfer at 10-15°; clean pipe end and fitting socket with CPVC cleaner

Dry Fit Check: Insert pipe into fitting to verify proper fit (pipe should insert 2/3 of socket depth without cement)

Cement Application: Apply even coat of solvent cement to pipe end and fitting socket using brush applicator; apply heavier coat to socket

Assembly: Immediately insert pipe into fitting with quarter turn (90° rotation) to ensure even cement distribution; hold firmly for 30 seconds

Curing: Wipe excess cement; allow 15 minutes before handling, 1 hour before moving, and 24 hours before pressure testing or commissioning
