Product Description

Ashirvad Flowguard Plus Metal Pipe Clamp holds CPVC pipes firmly to walls and ceilings, stopping long pipe runs from sagging and keeping them straight and aligned. By spreading the pipe's weight across several clamps, it reduces stress on solvent-welded joints and helps prevent leaks over time.

The strong metal U-clamp has a corrosion-resistant finish for long life in hot and cold water installations. Its open U-shape makes it easy to place the pipe, and it screws to the wall or ceiling with standard wall plugs. Available in six sizes from 1/2" to 2". Use it on horizontal and vertical runs, near geysers, on main supply lines and for neat, exposed pipework in utility areas.

Recommendations & Ideal Use-Cases

Where this fits best

• Horizontal Runs: Long distribution lines that need support between joints
• Vertical Risers: Pipes running up walls in multi-storey buildings
• Ceiling Pipes: Overhead lines in basements, utility rooms and commercial spaces
• Geyser Connections: Hot water inlet and outlet pipes near water heaters
• Exposed Piping: Neat, well-supported visible pipe runs

Installation Guidelines

1. Plan the Spacing: Place clamps at regular intervals along the pipe, with extra clamps near fittings, valves and bends (follow Ashirvad's spacing guide for your pipe size)
2. Mark & Drill: Mark clamp positions, drill holes and insert wall plugs suited to the wall (concrete, brick or board)
3. Fix the Clamp: Screw the clamp to the wall or ceiling, keeping clamps in line with the pipe run
4. Seat the Pipe: Place the pipe in the clamp and tighten so it is held snugly – not over-tight, so it can still move slightly with temperature
5. Final Check: Make sure all clamps are secure and joints are not under strain

FAQs

1) Which size should I buy?

Choose the clamp size that matches your CPVC pipe size: 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1¼", 1½" or 2". For example, use a 1/2" clamp for a 1/2" pipe. A clamp that is too big lets the pipe move and sag, while one that is too small can squeeze the pipe.

2) How far apart should I place the clamps?

As a general guide, place clamps about 1 m apart on horizontal runs and about 1.5 m apart on vertical runs, with an extra clamp within about 300 mm of fittings, valves and bends. Hot water lines expand more, so space their clamps more closely. Always check Ashirvad's spacing recommendations for your pipe size.

3) How tight should the clamp be?

Snug, not tight. The pipe should be held firmly but still able to move slightly as it expands and contracts with temperature. Over-tightening can stress or crack the pipe and strain the joints.

4) Will a metal clamp damage the CPVC pipe?

Not when fitted correctly. Choose the clamp size that matches your pipe, keep it snug rather than tight, and make sure the pipe sits evenly in the clamp without pressing against sharp edges.

5) Can it be used on hot water lines?

Yes, it can be used on both hot and cold CPVC lines. For hot water lines, use closer clamp spacing to allow for the extra expansion.

6) Metal clamp or plastic clamp – which should I use?

Metal clamps are stronger and better for larger pipes, long runs and heavy-duty use. Plastic clamps are lighter and suit smaller home installations. Both work with CPVC when sized and fitted correctly.
