NEW!! FlowGuard Gold® HP Plumbing System

Higher pressure for higher performance.

Now you can get all the advantages of traditional FlowGuard Gold® pipe and fittings—the most specified non-metallic plumbing system—and more...25 percent more, in fact. With the new FlowGuard Gold HP Plumbing System, you get a highly reliable solution that outperforms all other plumbing systems. That's because FlowGuard Gold HP pipe is made from a high-performance, patent-pending CPVC compound that allows it to handle 25 percent more pressure than PEX or standard CPVC pipe.*

In addition, FlowGuard Gold HP fittings are now pressure rated to handle the same pressure as the pipe – a first in the industry, making this the only CTS system pressure rated to 125 psi at 180°F on the market today. This superior pressure rating has been tested and certified by NSF International to provide added confidence for installers, homeowners and buildings owners and, more importantly, result in fewer callbacks for builders and contractors.

Designed for residential applications but robust enough to handle the demands of commercial projects, FlowGuard Gold HP pipe additionally meets the cell class of 24448, the highest attainable in the industry. No other CPVC compound manufacturer has been tested and certified by a third-party testing lab as meeting this higher cell class. Standard CPVC compounds meet the criteria of the lower 23447 cell class as defined by ASTM D1784. As a result, only FlowGuard Gold HP pipe offers a drop impact strength up to three times that of standard CPVC and an HDT rating of 232°F (111° C).

Other benefits of choosing a FlowGuard Gold HP Plumbing System:
  • Immunity to corrosion, pitting and scaling
  • Long-term reliable, low-maintenance performance
  • Fast, easy and safe installations using readily available, inexpensive tools
  • Lower total installed costs (resulting from stable material costs and reduced labor costs)
  • Proven-reliable solvent cement joints
  • Quiet operation
  • Uncompromised water quality (no copper contamination)
  • Superior antimicrobial performance
  • Energy efficiency from the pipe's natural insulating abilities that help retain heat
  • Reduced condensation
  • Outstanding flame and smoke properties

In addition to these performance and cost benefits, a FlowGuard Gold HP Plumbing System can easily be incorporated into eco-friendly designs that qualify for LEED certification and meet the NAHB's Green Building Standard requirements.
