Ultra Blue PVCO CIOD Pipe is engineered for high-performance potable water systems, offering exceptional strength and flow capacity. Manufactured with molecularly oriented PVC, this 235 PSI rated pipe is stronger, lighter, and easier to install than standard PVC—making it ideal for municipal water mains and force main applications.
🔍 Why PVCO over PVC?
PVCO (Oriented PVC) undergoes a special manufacturing process that aligns its molecular structure, making it up to 2x stronger and 30–40% lighter than standard PVC. This results in improved pressure capacity, easier handling, and longer service life—without compromising flow or strength.
✅ Key Features & Benefits
- High Pressure Rating: 235 PSI for reliable performance in demanding water infrastructure systems.
- Exceptional Strength: 77% greater tensile strength and superior resistance to crush and notch damage versus standard PVC.
- Corrosion-Free Performance: No coatings, linings, or cathodic protection needed—resists internal scaling and external soil corrosion.
- Smooth Flow Efficiency: Hazen-Williams coefficient C=150 ensures long-term pumping efficiency and lower energy costs.
- Ease of Installation: Lightweight, manually handled pipe can be cut and beveled on-site using basic tools.
- Seismic Ready: Flexibility and impact resistance allow the pipe to withstand ground shifts and seismic conditions.
