The reactive force will reflect on pipe, especially when the system pressure is larger than 100 psi Therefore, ifthe pipe is not fixed properly, the force will push the pipe vertically upward, espe- Cally ifthe Sprinkler drop is from a small pipe. The hangers should tightly fx the pipe to prevent the upward reactive force. There are many ways to tightly fx the pipe. For example, use the standard band hangers and keep the bottom of the bolt 1/16 Inch-high above the pipe. Reference Table A Any Distance.

When unloaded from the cargo truck. And they should remain boxed until ready to use. Impact ‘cracks, splits, and scratches will weaken and damage the pipe and fittings. Please avoid throwing heavy or sharp ‘objects into CPVC pipe and fittings. When Handling the pipes, please make sure that they are well fixed and try to avoid looseness and droop, In very low temperature, the plastic pipes will become very brittle. There- fore, please handle them carefully to avoid damage. Before installation, check pipe and fittings thoroughly tosee ifthey are damaged or not. IF there are cracks splits, scratches, or ‘other damage caused by improper transportation or storage, these pipe and fittings shouldn't be used. Using the technique of cutting plastic pipe can cut off the damaged part of the pipe.BlazeMaster INSTALLATION MANU eo Storage IFAtlanta BlazeMaster pipe needs to be stored in outdoor environment for a long time, please use opaque object to cover them. Because long time exposure to direct sunlight on the worksite may result in color fade but will not affect physical properties. It will bea good Idea to put them in the original containers to prevent dust and reduce the chance of damage. When stored indoors, they should be put in the more ventilated place and keep them away from the vapor pipe lines orother heat sources. Atlanta BlazeMaster pipe & fittings should be kept in the original packaging before use to prevent color fading or other damage. The pipes should be put on the clean and flat surface so that it will provide balanced support for the pipes. When put on the shelfit should have continuous (r close support arms to prevent the pipe from loosening or dropping. The fittings should be kept in cartons which were put on the pallet and use plastic cloth to wrap them to prevent collapse caused by moisture. Plastic pipes and fittings shouldn't be kept with metal pipe and fittings in the same box in order to avoid grease or oil pollution from the metal products. FLAMMABILITY & PRODUCT COMBUSTION Flammability Blaze Masters suitable for wet automatic ine sprinkler system because ofits excellent balance of properties suchas ightweight excel lent comin resistance low fiction loss, aed easy installation. Its unique in thatt offers outstanding resistance to five and low srmoke gene ation qualties Because ofthese characteris, Blaze Master ystems approved for use in plenum spaces as defined by NFPA SOR {Aimerican national standard fr installation of ar condiGoring and venthating system Ignition Resistance CCPVC has lash ignition temperature of 900% which isthe lowest temperature at which sufficient combustible gas evolve that can be ignited by asmall external lame. May other combustibles suchas wood ignite at 00°F or less. Accordingly, BlazeMaster systems cannot be the ignition source of aire. Heat of Combustion CPVChasa significantly lower heat of combustion at 7700 BTUS/Ib. Compared to Douglas fir at 9040 BTUS/b. Materials with a high heat ‘of combustion perpetuate a combustible mixture which ignites creating more heat and the burning process becomes self-sustaining. Burning Resistance PVC will not sustain burning, It must be forced to burn due to its very high Limiting Oxygen Index (LOD of 60.LOls the percentage of oxygen needed in an atmosphere to support combustion. Since earths atmosphere is only 21% oxygen, CPVC will not burn unless a flame is constantly applied and stops burning when the ignition source i removed. Products of Combustion BlazeMaster CPVC is an organic thermoplastic material, All organic materials, either natural or synthetic, generate toxic gas when ‘exposed in heat and fire. The products of combustion of BlazeMaster CPVC are carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (C02), hydrogen chloride (HCI). The results of tests on BlazeMaster CPVC sprinkler pipe, using the New York State modified University of Pittsburgh test protocol for determining the toxicity of combustion products, conclude the BlazeMaster sprinkler pipe is"no more toxic than wood, and less toxic than common materials, such as wood or cotton. In addition, the California Draft Environment Impact Report concludes ‘the smoke toxicity of plastic pipe is low compared with that of common building and finish materials present in homes” Because of the unique characteristics, lazeMaster sprinkler systems doesn't pose an unusual threat to life safety. In fact, BlazeMaster sprinkler systems have a track record of success better than national statistics. Without the benefit of flame retardants and smoke inhibitions, BlazeMaster CPVC inherently exhibits outstanding fire performance characteristics in terms of limited flame propagation and low smoke generation. ‘When coupled with its excellent balance of improved hydraulics, light weight corrosion resistance and ease of fabrication. BlazeMaster sprinkler systems provide an affordable solution to life safety and property protection,= INSTALLATION MAN BlazeMaster JOINING OF BLAZEMASTER CPVC PIPE SYSTEM. Before commencing installation, a user should understand & confirm applicable National Fire Protection Association(NFPA) guidelines national, state & local codes, & installation requirements for CPVC fire sprinkler systems. Cutting BlazeMaster pipe can be easily cut with a ratchet cutter, wheel type plastic tubing cutter, a power saw of fine toothed saw. To ensure the pipe is cut square, a miter box must be used when using a saw, Cutting the pipe as squarely as possible provides the surface of the pipe with maximum bonding area. If any indication of damage or cracking is evident atthe pipe end, cutoff atleast two {@)inches beyond any visible crack. Do not use ratchet cutters below 50°C. Deburring Burrs and filings can prevent proper contact between pipe and fitting during assembly, and must bbe removed from the outside and the inside ofthe pipe. A champering tool or file suitable for this, purpose. A slight bevel shall be placed at the end of the pipe to ease entry of the pipe into the socket and minimize the chances of wiping solvent cement from the fitting. Fitting Preparation ‘Using a clean, dry rag, wipe loose dirt and moisture from the fitting socket and pipe end. Moisture. can slow the cure time and at this stage of assembly, excessive water can reduce joint strength. Check the dry fit of the pipe and fitting. The pipe should enter the fitting socket easily 1/4 to 3/4 of the way. At this stage, the pipe should not bottom out inthe socket. Solvent Cement Application Joining surface shall be penetrated and softened. Cement shall be applied with an applicator 1/2 size of the pipe diameter. Apply a heavy, even coat of cement to the outside pipe end. Apply a medium coat to the fitting socket to pipe, Size 1-1/4 inches and above shall always receive a second cement application (on the pipe end. (Apply cement on the pipe end, in the fiting socked, and on the pipe again.) Only use solvent cements that have been specifically investigated and tested for use with BlazeMaster CPVC and approved by the pipe and fiting manufacturers. Special care shall be exercised when assembling BlazeMaster systems in extremely low temperatures (below 40°F) or extremely high temperatures (above 100°F), Extra set time shall be allowed in colder temperatures. When cementing pipe and fittings, is extremely cold temperatures, make certain that the cement has not“gelled’ Gelled cement must be discarded, In extremely hot temperatures, make sure both surfaces to be joined are still wet with ‘cement when putting them together. Assembly ‘After applying cement, immediately insert the pipe into the fitting socket, while rotating the pipe 1/4 turn. Properly align the fitting for the installation at this time. Pipe must bottom to the stop. Holding the assembly for 10 to 15 seconds to ensure initial bonding. A bead of cement should be evident around the pipe and fitting juncture. If this bead is not continuous around the socket shoulder, it may indicate the insufficient cement was applied. If insufficient cement is applied, the fitting must be cut out and discarded. Cement in excess of the bead can be wiped off with a rag. Care shall be exercised when installing sprinkler heads. Sprinkler head fittings shall be allowed to Cute for a minimum of 30 minutes prior to installing sprinkler heads, be sure to anchor or hold the pipe drop securely to avoid rotating the pipe in previously cemented connections, previously cemented fittings shal also be permitted to cure for a minimum of 30 minutes.BlazeMaster NERVE Ee OPM OnE)BlazeMaster POM Oe) <=BlazeMaster =>> Pea E OLBlazeMaster Oras <<
