About Fire Sprinkler Systems
FireMan pipe and fittings are designed specifically for fire sprinklers systems. They are made from a specialty thermoplastic known chemically as Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC).
FireMan pipe and fittings provide unique advantages in sprinkler installations including superior hydraulics, ease of joining, increased hanger spacing in comparison to other thermoplastics and ease of assembly. They are also based on a technology with a continuous and proven service history of more than 40 years.
Approved for more applications than any other nonmetallic system in the market , FireMan is the new industry standard in fire sprinkler systems.
FireMan CPVC pipe and fittings are fully approved for use in all light and ordinary hazardous rooms or otherwise light hazardous applications as per NFPA 13, in both new and retrofit construction, such as:
- High-rise buildings (including apartments and hotels)
- Schools and institutions
- 1 and 2 family dwellings

Sprinkler Head Temperature Ratings:
FireMan pipe and fittings shall be used in sprinkler systems employing sprinkler heads rated 225°F (107°C) or lower, for pendent and horizontal sidewall heads. Quick-Response upright heads shall be rated of 155°F (68°C) or less.
Pipe:
CPVC Sprinkler pipe in SDR 13.5 conforms to the requirements of ASTM F442.
Fittings:
FireMan CPVC Sprinkler fittings conform to the requirement of ASTM F 438 (Schedule 40) & ASTM F439 (Schedule 80). Female threaded adapters for sprinkler head connections will contain brass inserts or other suitable metallic inserts.
Solvent Cement:
FireMan CPVC socket connections should be joined with IPS weld on solvent cement which meets ASTM F493. No other cements are recommended for use with FireMan products and use of such non-proved welding agents will invalidate the manufacturers warranty.
Full field support:
FireMan CPVC systems are backed by an extensive field support organization providing:
- Proven installation recommendations to maximize efficiency and cost savings.
- Compliance advice for local, regional and national building codes.
- Expert design and specification recommendations With a high flash ignition temperature, low flame spread and smoke development ratings, and a fuel contribution of 0, FireMan pipe and fittings are an ideal choice for fire sprinkler systems.
FireMan pipe and fittings meet the most stringent requirements governing the use of combustible pipe in most building types. FireMan pipe and fittings have been successfully exposed to flame temperatures of 1400°F. After undergoing continuous elevated pressure testing at 400 psi (more than twice the rated pressure) for more than one year, FireMan CPVC systems showed no sign of weakness or failure.
FireMan pipe and fittings are manufactured under a strict Quality Assurance Program that guarantees consistency and reliability. Pipe and fittings are impervious to normal weather conditions and are fundamentally ageless.
FireMan CPVC systems for designers, architects and engineers:
FireMan pipe and fittings offer greatly enhanced design flexibility. With a Hazen-Williams C factor of 150, its smooth inner surface results in lower friction loss than metal systems. This means you can use smaller pipe diameters which lowers your material costs and provides additional design flexibility in retrofit applications. FireMan pipe and fittings have a 50-year life expectancy with a safety factor of two. Properly selected and correctly installed, FireMan pipe and fittings provide years of maintenance free service.

Fire Sprinkler Systems
FireMan CPVC systems for builders and developers:
FireMan pipe and fittings significantly reduce labor and transportation costs on typical installations because CPVC pipe is easily handled, stored, cut and joined. Prices for FireMan CPVC pipe and fittings are more stable than metal systems. Plus, heavy equipment needed to install metal and other piping systems is not required with FireMan pipe and fittings. As a result, installed costs of FireMan CPVC systems are significantly lower than metal and other systems.
The inherent immunity to Micro biologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) of FireMan pipe and fittings means this system provides a long-term trouble-free installation. As well, there is significantly less inconvenience for occupants during retrofit construction.
FireMan CPVC systems for contractors:
Installation of FireMan pipe and fittings is fast and easy. No special rigging or heavy equipment is required to move the pipe into a building. Pipe can be cut on-site with simple hand tools. A one-step joining system makes installations fast, keeping labor costs to a minimum.
Because no heavy equipment is involved in moving and installing pipe and fittings on-site, there is less conflict with other trades. Work can be done quickly and easily around drywallers, framers and other mechanical contractors.
Most hangers designed for metal pipe are suitable for FireMan CPVC systems. Because FireMan pipe is rigid and inherently strong, it requires fewer hangars and supports than other thermoplastic pipe, reducing material and labor costs even more.

The ideal solution for the sprinkler systems:
- Easy assembly.
- Light weight construction.
- Low friction loss.
- No rusting, pitting, scaling or corrosion, even in salt air environments.
- Immunity to Micro biologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC).
FireMan pipe and fittings have been successfully exposed to temperatures of 1400°F (760°C), and after continuous elevated pressure testing at 400 psi, (more than twice the rated pressure) FireMan showed no sign of weakness or failure. With a Hazen-Williams friction coefficient of C=150, FireMan's smooth interior surface offers lower friction loss than metal systems, enables to use smaller pipe diameters and save on material costs.
