Additional Information
DO'S
• Use pipes, fittings and solvent cements manufactured by Finolex Industries for best results.
• Installation should be completed as per instructions and recommended safe practices must be followed.
• Clean the pipe and fittings with a clean dry cloth to remove any dirt.
• Keep pipe and fittings in the original packaging until needed.
• In case any crack is found in the pipe, cut a minimum of 25mm length beyond the edge of the crack.
• Cut the pipe as square or perpendicular as possible before making a joint.
• Ensure no sharp edges are in contact with the fittings surface while inserting the pipe.
• Ensure proper alignment of pipe and fittings to avoid stress on the joints.
• Ensure installation is done in such a way that there are no chances of air entrapment.
• Use only teflon tape as a thread sealant.
• Always conduct hydraulic pressure testing after installation to detect any leaks and faults.
• Wait for the appropriate cure time before pressure testing. Fill lines slowly and allow air to escape from the
system prior to pressure testing.
• Paint pipes exposed to sunlight with a water-based paint.
• Provide additional support to the brass side of ASTM/brass transition or other for keeping any heavy object to
support the weight of the metal system.
DON'TS
• Do not use metal hooks or nails to support/hold or put pressure on the pipes.
• Do not use straps and hangers with rough or sharp edges. Do not tighten the straps over the pipes.
• Never expose the pipe to open flame while trying to bend it.
• Do not drop pipes on edges from heights. Do not drop heavy objects on pipes or walk on pipes.
• Do not use air or gases for pressure testing.
• Do not use any other petroleum or solvent-based sealant, adhesive, lubricant or fire-stop material on ASTM
pipes & fittings.
• Do not use ASTM pipes and fittings for pneumatic applications.
• Do not use the ASTM piping system to support any metallic components.
• Do not use ASTM solvent cement that exceeds its shelf life, has become discoloured or has gelled.

FAQ
Finolex offers sewerage or underground drainage pipes that conform to IS 15328, for gravity drainage, sewer flow and transportation of soil and waste discharge.Finolex underground drainage and sewerage pipes are intended to carry soil and waste from building to sewers or drains and then to treatment plants or disposal points and septic tanks.
Finolex ASTM plumbing pipes and fittings contain stabilizers to protect pipes against harmful UV rays present in sunlight. Even after several years of usage, the performance of pipes is not affected. PVC pipe used in permanent outdoor exposures is recommended to be protected by light coloured water-based paint and not oil based paint.
Finolex ASTM Pipes can safely be used for plumbing applications including potable or drinking water. Finolex ASTM pipes are manufactured by using high grade Finolex PVC resin and unique compounding which is lead free. Thus, it is safe for potable water supply and more so,because of pvc material with smooth inner surface,there is no scaling or deposition. It is Corrosion-free and chemical resistant. It is tough & durable and immune to fungus, bacteria,algae formation.
Finolex or for that matter, any ASTM pipe, is not recommended for transportation of compressed air or gases. Not recommended for pneumatic applications.
Finolex Sewerage Pipes are meant for Non-pressurised applications. However, it can withstand “external earth pressure “ and has STIFFNESS CLASS 2 KN/m² for SN2, STIFFNESS CLASS 4 KN/m² for SN4 and STIFFNESS CLASS 8 KN/m² for SN8.
ASTM Schedule 80 pipes have more wall thickness and more pressure ratings than Schedule 40 ASTM pipes, for the given size.
In ASTM PIPES ,Schedule 40 pipe has lesser wall thickness than schedule 80 pipe. The colour of the screen/matter printing on the pipe is BLUE.
Schedule 80 , has higher wall thickness than schedule 40. The colour of the screen/matter printing on the pipe is RED. This is for the ease of identification of pipes.
Finolex ASTM plumbing pipes and fittings are designed for cold water plumbing applications in residential and commercial buildings, Vertical risers, ring/downtake lines. These pipes and fittings can also be used for swimming pools, hand pumps, salt water lines, water distribution mains, industrial process lines, sugar, paper and distillery lines
