High-pressure clear PVC pipe
Clear-Guard® from IPEX is a specialty clear PVC pipe solution designed for visual monitoring in double containment systems. Ideal for applications requiring inspection of chemical flows or potential blockages, this transparent PVC pipe maintains chemical resistance while offering unmatched visibility. The system is engineered for full containment and leak prevention, with clear pipes helping technicians identify issues before they escalate. Choose transparent PVC pipe for safer operation, simplified maintenance, and greater process control in demanding industrial settings.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
With IPEX’s high-pressure clear PVC pipe you can specify Schedule 40 clear pipe for applications where previously only Schedule 80 clear pipe would suffice. With a hydrostatic design basis of 3,150 psi, our high-pressure formulation provides pressure ratings significantly higher than the competition. High-pressure clear PVC is suitable for various applications such as:
- Plant chemical distribution lines
- Double containment, clean rooms, and site glass applications
- Chlor-Alkali processing
- Metals & Mining
- Water & Wastewater Treatment
FEATUREs & BENEFITS
- Cost-effective multipurpose solution
- Good visibility
- High-pressure material allows for the use of schedule 40 in place of schedule 80
- Certified to NSF-61
- Pressure and Vacuum service
- Fittings are available in clear or opaque
