Integrated Piping Solutions for Data Centers
IPEX is proud to offer reliable data center piping systems built to meet the demands of high-performance facilities.
Our thermoplastic solutions support data center cooling, drainage, ventilation, electrical systems, and fuel delivery for backup generators, all with corrosion-resistant materials that lower maintenance and speed up installation.
Application-Specific Thermoplastic Piping Systems
At IPEX, we provide targeted solutions for many critical areas of a performance data center, from cooling infrastructure to fuel delivery and drainage.
Cooling Systems
IPEX thermoplastic products—Xirtec® PVC, Xirtec® CPVC made by Corzan®CPVC, and Duraplus® ABS Industrial—are ideal for data center cooling water and glycol systems. They are immune to corrosion and scaling, are UV resistant, have a wide operating temperature range, and are readily available in sizes from ½” to 16”. Guardian® engineered PVC and CPVC double containment systems are available when leaks are not an option. CentraGuard electronic leak detection systems further enhance leak prevention with reliable continuous monitoring.
Generator Fuel Supply
CustomGuard® double containment systems offer versatility and reliability for generator fuel supply piping applications. Carrier and containment are available in a variety of sizes and material combinations to ensure efficient fuel delivery while meeting regulatory compliance and protecting property, personnel, and the environment. Centra-Guard electronic leak detection is available for added protection.
Drainage Systems
PVC DWV provides reliable gravity drainage for stormwater or sanitary lines. PVC is durable, lightweight, and insulative so that condensation is reduced. Drain-Guard® double containment DWV systems enhance safety around electronics and sensitive equipment. Where drip trays may offer some leak protection, Drain-Guard® offers a truly failsafe containment option
Support Systems for Performance Data Centers
IPEX solutions extend to air movement, electrical safety, and automated system control.
We offer a full range of industrial-grade thermoplastic valves in manual, pneumatic, and electric options. Double-containment valves integrate with Guardian® systems for critical piping areas.
IPEX Vent Duct® PVC and CPVC systems enable safe fume evacuation and air circulation with corrosion resistance. These non-metallic ducts offer a cost-effective, easy-install alternative to stainless steel.
IPEX electrical products—Scepter® Rigid PVC Conduit (Sch 40 & Sch 80), Scepter JBox® (PVC junction box), and Kwikon® ENT —protect critical power and data wiring with fast installation and long-term durability.
RT and ET DR35 PVC provide tight-joint, corrosion-resistant sewer piping up to sizes 60” to prevent expensive leaks or soil structure deterioration.
The IPEX Model ASD CPVC Smoke Detector Sampling Tube is a field-assembled apparatus designed to integrate seamlessly with BlazeMaster® systems. Constructed from ¾ in. (DN20) CPVC pipe and fittings, it enables efficient air sampling for early smoke detection in sensitive environments like server rooms and clean spaces.
In addition to detection, IPEX also offers BlazeMaster® CPVC fire suppression systems for complete fire protection in light hazard commercial applications.

FAQs About Data Center Piping Solutions
Please read through our frequently asked questions below to learn about our data center piping and cooling solutions.
Thermoplastics like Xirtec® PVC and Xirtec® CPVC are best for data center cooling solutions because they resist corrosion, support glycol-based systems, and minimize heat transfer. These materials maintain flow integrity and reliability due to smooth surfaces and corrosion resistance.
IPEX thermoplastic systems are engineered to avoid the common failures seen in metal piping. Thermoplastics are lightweight, UV-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and readily available. Systems are installed using a permanent solvent weld joint or a gasket bell and spigot joint for underground. Products like the Guaradian® double containment and Centra-Guard® leak detection help prevent disruptions by offering a containment system that will collect and contain any possible leaks.
Yes! IPEX can fit thermoplastic valves with electric or pneumatic actuators that can be integrated into data center automation platforms. These systems support real-time monitoring and help control HVAC, cooling loops, and other data center backup solutions.
Absolutely. IPEX offers corrosion-resistant solutions, such as Vent Duct® CPVC, for safe air movement in battery and generator rooms. We also provide Scepter® PVC Conduit and Kwikon Non-Metallic Tubing for secure electrical infrastructure.
