Ashirvad Flowguard Plus CPVC Step Over Bend

Ashirvad Flowguard Plus CPVC Step Over Bend provides an elegant solution for routing pipes around obstacles while maintaining parallel alignment. This U-shaped fitting creates a vertical offset that allows pipes to step over obstructions like beams, conduits, or other pipes, then return to the original horizontal plane. The precision-molded design ensures smooth flow transitions and maintains full system pressure rating.
Essential for professional installations where pipes must navigate around structural elements or other utilities without changing the overall pipe direction. The step over bend eliminates the need for multiple elbows and straight pipe sections, simplifying installation and reducing potential leak points. Ideal for ceiling-mounted installations, wall crossings, and situations where maintaining pipe alignment is critical.

Recommended Applications

Ceiling Installations: Routing pipes over ceiling beams and structural elements

Wall Crossings: Stepping over door frames and window headers

Utility Crossings: Navigating over electrical conduits and other pipes

Multi-Story Buildings: Maintaining pipe alignment while avoiding obstacles

Renovation Projects: Routing new pipes around existing infrastructure

Professional Installations: Creating neat, organized pipe runs in visible areas

Installation Guidelines

Measurement: Verify step over height matches your obstacle clearance requirements

Pipe Preparation: Cut pipes squarely; deburr and chamfer pipe ends at 10-15?

Alignment Check: Dry-fit to ensure proper alignment before cementing

Solvent Cementing: Apply CPVC solvent cement; insert pipes with quarter turn and hold 30 seconds

Support Installation: Install pipe clamps on both sides of step over bend to prevent stress
