An Overview OfThe Rapid Response®

CPVC MultipurposeSprinkler System

Installation

(Combining fire sprinkler piping withcold-water distribution piping)

The Rapid Response® CPVCMultipurpose Sprinkler System uses

the sameTyco BlazeMaster® CPVC pipeand fittings used in dedicated sprinkler

systems. FlowGuard Gold® CPVC pipe andfittings are also added to create amultipurpose

system that’s easily transported, handled andmodified on site.

Themain piping – including that to sprinklers – isTyco BlazeMaster® CPVC. The connections frommain

piping to plumbing fixtures utilize FlowGuardGold®. BlazeMaster®, in iron pipe sizes (IPS),

connects with copper-tube size (CTS)FlowGuard Gold®, with IPS, to CTS

adapter fittings.

Our CPVC system is UL and cUL Listed, with all pipeand fittings NSF approved for potable water pipingmaterial.They’re highly resistant to rust, scale and contaminantbuildup and immune toMicrobiologically InfluencedCorrosion (MIC).

Fire performance features an LOI (Limited Oxygen Index)better than PVC, PB, wood or other common buildingmaterials. Our CPVCwon’t support combustion so itcan’t be the source of a fire or contribute to flashover.
