Question 1

What is the expected lifespan of these pipes?

Accepted Answer

When installed correctly underground, Peregrine Rigid PVC pipes have a service life exceeding 50 years due to their resistance to corrosion and biological attack.

Question 2

Are these pipes safe for drinking water?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our R-PVC pipes are non-toxic, lead-free, and do not impart any taste or odor to the water, making them safe for potable water supply.

Question 3

How are the joints sealed?

Accepted Answer

They can be joined using Solvent Cement for smaller diameters or Elastomeric Sealing Rings (Rubber Rings) for larger diameters to ensure leak-proof connections.

Question 4

Can I use uPVC pipes for hot water?

Accepted Answer

No, uPVC pipes are suitable for cold water distribution up to 60°C. For hot water applications, we recommend our cPVC range.

Question 5

Does it require threading?

Accepted Answer

No, uPVC plumbing pipes utilize solvent cement joining (cold welding), which is faster, easier, and more leak-proof than threaded GI pipes.

Question 6

Is it UV resistant for outdoor use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our uPVC pipes are UV stabilized, making them suitable for outdoor installations without degrading under sunlight.

Question 7

What is the maximum temperature cPVC can handle?

Accepted Answer

Peregrine cPVC pipes can withstand temperatures up to 93°C (200°F), making them ideal for geysers and solar water heaters.

Question 8

Can I join cPVC with standard PVC glue?

Accepted Answer

No, you must use solvent cement specifically formulated for cPVC to ensure a strong chemical bond capable of withstanding high temperatures.

Question 9

Is cPVC safe for drinking water?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. cPVC is approved worldwide for potable water systems and does not support bacterial growth.

Question 10

What is the difference between Type A and Type B?

Accepted Answer

Type A is for rainwater and ventilation (thinner wall). Type B is for soil and waste discharge (thicker wall, stronger).

Question 11

How do I maintain these pipes?

Accepted Answer

SWR pipes are maintenance-free. Their smooth inner surface prevents scaling and choking, requiring no painting or coating.

Question 12

Why choose Ringfit over Selfit?

Accepted Answer

Ringfit pipes have a rubber seal that absorbs thermal expansion and contraction, making them ideal for tall buildings where temperature changes can cause pipes to move.

Question 13

Does it leak over time?

Accepted Answer

The EPDM rubber ring ensures a permanent, leak-proof seal that does not degrade easily, provided it is installed correctly.

Question 14

How deep can these pipes be installed?

Accepted Answer

CM (Casing Medium) pipes are designed for depths up to 250 meters, while CS (Casing Shallow) are for up to 80 meters.

Question 15

Will they corrode like steel pipes?

Accepted Answer

No, uPVC casing pipes are completely immune to corrosion from soil acidity or alkalinity, ensuring a much longer lifespan for your borewell.

Question 16

What thread type is used?

Accepted Answer

We use high-precision Trapezoidal threads that ensure strong joints capable of bearing the vertical load of the pipe column.
