NIBCO 4700N-007 CPVC Plumbing and Heating Pipe 3/4 inch

The NIBCO 4700N-007 CPVC plumbing and heating pipe is a professional-grade solution engineered for reliable fluid transport in residential and commercial infrastructure. Constructed from high-quality chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, this 3/4 inch pipe provides exceptional durability and structural integrity for demanding piping systems. Its white finish and precise dimensions ensure compatibility with standard plumbing fittings, offering a robust solution for both hot and cold water distribution.

Advantages

This CPVC pipe stands out due to its superior chemical resistance and thermal stability, which allow it to maintain performance under varying temperature conditions. The material is inherently resistant to corrosion and scaling, ensuring that the internal diameter remains clear for optimal flow rates over the long term. Its high working pressure rating provides an added layer of safety and reliability for pressurized heating and plumbing applications, while the rigid construction prevents sagging and ensures a clean, professional installation.

Suitable for

• Residential hot and cold water plumbing systems
• Commercial heating infrastructure
• Fluid transport in industrial environments
• Replacement of aging metal piping systems

This pipe is not suitable for applications involving high-impact mechanical stress or environments where the pipe will be exposed to direct, prolonged ultraviolet radiation, as CPVC is primarily intended for indoor use. It is also not designed for systems requiring flexible tubing, as this is a rigid pipe product.

Key specifications

• Material: Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC)
• Outer diameter: 20 mm
• Wall thickness: 2.3 mm
• Length: 3.048 m
• Working pressure: 24.67 atm
• Flexibility: Rigid (non-flexible)
• Colour: White

How to use

Installation of this CPVC pipe requires standard solvent welding techniques compatible with CPVC materials. Ensure that the pipe ends are cut square and deburred before applying the appropriate solvent cement to both the pipe and the fitting. Insert the pipe into the fitting with a slight twisting motion to ensure a uniform bond, and hold it in place until the joint sets. Always verify that the system is properly supported using appropriate hangers or clamps to prevent stress on the joints.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required diameter for your specific plumbing or heating system
• Ensure compatibility with your existing fittings and solvent cement
• Check local building codes regarding the use of CPVC in your area
• Calculate the total length needed, accounting for potential waste during cutting

Usage recommendations: Always use professional-grade solvent cement specifically formulated for CPVC to ensure a leak-proof seal. Avoid over-tightening mechanical connections and ensure the pipe is adequately supported along its length to prevent thermal expansion issues.
