NIBCO 4700N-005 Plumbing and Heating System Pipe, 1/2 inch

The NIBCO 4700N-005 is a professional-grade CPVC pipe engineered for high-performance plumbing and heating system installations. With a 1/2 inch diameter and a robust wall thickness of 1.8 mm, this pipe is designed to handle demanding fluid transport requirements while maintaining thermal efficiency in both residential and commercial infrastructure. Its white finish and rigid construction ensure long-term stability and reliable performance within standard piping networks.

The primary advantage of this CPVC pipe lies in its exceptional durability and resistance to high pressure. Capable of withstanding working pressures up to 25 atm, it provides a secure and leak-resistant solution for water distribution and heating systems. The material properties of CPVC offer excellent chemical resistance and longevity, reducing the need for frequent maintenance or replacement in critical infrastructure projects.

Suitable for

• Residential plumbing systems
• Commercial water distribution networks
• Heating system installations
• Potable water transport

This pipe is not suitable for applications requiring high flexibility, as it is a rigid component. It should not be used in environments where the operating temperature or pressure exceeds the manufacturer's specified limits for CPVC materials.

Key specifications

• Material: Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC)
• Outer diameter: 16 mm
• Wall thickness: 1.8 mm
• Length: 3.048 m
• Working pressure: 25 atm
• Flexibility: Rigid (non-flexible)
• Colour: White

To install the NIBCO 4700N-005, ensure the pipe is cut to the required length using appropriate cutting tools for rigid plastic piping. Clean the ends thoroughly before applying the recommended solvent cement for CPVC connections. Ensure that all joints are properly aligned and allowed to cure according to the adhesive manufacturer's instructions before pressurizing the system.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 16 mm outer diameter matches your existing system requirements.
• Ensure the 3.048 m length is sufficient for your installation layout.
• Confirm that your system pressure does not exceed the 25 atm rating.
• Check local building codes for CPVC usage in your specific region.

Usage recommendations: Always use compatible CPVC solvent cement and follow professional plumbing standards during installation to ensure a secure, long-lasting connection. Avoid exposing the pipe to direct sunlight for extended periods during storage.
