Home plumbing mainly uses uPVC, CPVC, SWR and UGD pipes, each serving a specific role. UPVC pipes, like Ashirvad’s Aqualife+ system, are lead‑free and ideal for safe drinking‑water supply. CPVC pipes, such as Ashirvad FlowGuard Plus® and FlowPro+, handle both hot and cold water with high temperature resistance and NSF‑certified safety. SWR pipes from Ashirvad are designed for efficient soil, waste, and rainwater drainage in homes. UGD pipes form part of Ashirvad’s underground drainage solutions, built for strong, leak‑proof sewage and waste management.

For combined hot and cold-water plumbing, CPVC is the ideal choice, and Ashirvad stands out as a leader with its FlowGuard Plus® and FlowPro+ CPVC systems that offer superior heat resistance (up to ~93°C), long-term reliability, and NSF‑certified safety for potable water. These systems are engineered specifically to provide high performance in kitchens, bathrooms, and high‑rise applications.

Yes, both PEX and CPVC are generally considered safe for potable water, but CPVC, especially Ashirvad’s CPVC range certified under NSF/ANSI standards, offers proven hygienic performance with smooth inner surfaces that resist microbial growth and corrosion. This makes Ashirvad CPVC one of the safest and most trusted choices for household drinking‑water plumbing
