EXCEED THE EXPECTED WITH
ADVANCED PLUMBING SYSTEMS
THE LEADERS IN CPVC TECHNOLOGY
FlowGuard Gold Pipe & Fittings, FlowGuard Bendable Multilayer Piping and Corzan Piping
Systems are engineered with Lubrizol’s specially formulated chlorinated polyvinyl chloride
(CPVC), a corrosion-resistant technology that eliminates pitting and scaling — even when
exposed to alkaline soil conditions or water with high chloride levels.
SYSTEMS THAT TRULY CONNECT
Lubrizol offers a comprehensive suite of CPVC pipes and fittings in various sizes so that
contractors can specify just one trusted material for the entire job. When used in combination,
Lubrizol’s advanced CPVC plumbing systems provide simplified transitions between piping
system types and materials. And, to further boost user confidence and eliminate guesswork,
Lubrizol’s CPVC technologies are tested for compatibility with chemicals commonly found in
ancillary products, such as thread sealants, leak detectors and fire stops. The company’s
FBC™ System Compatible Program is the only known program of its kind in the industry.
