Spears® FlameGuard® . . . The Leader in Innovative
CPVC Fire Sprinkler System Products
Corrosion Resistant CPVC Material Does Not
Sustain Biological Growth
Unlike metal systems, FlameGuard® CPVC products never rust, scale or pit and do not sustain biological growth - a cause of Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) which can destroy metal fire sprinkler systems from the inside out.
Superior Flow Characteristics for Lower
Friction Losses
The smooth-wall interior surfaces of FlameGuard® CPVC systems result in reduced friction loss over metal systems. The design flow characteristics remain constant throughout the life of the product because there is no interior corrosion in the system due to microbiological activity.
Pressure Rated to 175 psi (1.21Mpa) @ 150°F (66°C)
FlameGuard® CPVC Products are produced in combinations of Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 Fitting configurations conforming to ASTM F 438 or F 439 standards and FlameGuard® SDR 13.5 CPVC Fire Sprinkler Pipe conforming to ASTM F 442 standards. UL® Rated working pressure is 175 psi (1.21Mpa) @ 150°F
(66°C) (LPCB rated to 120°F) (49°C).
Easy Installation for Lower Costs
FlameGuard® CPVC system installations significantly reduce costs over conventional metal piping by virtually eliminating prefabrication. Systems can be fully installed on site using solvent cement joining methods.
UL® Listed for U.S. and Canada in
NFPA 13, 13R & 13D Systems
FlameGuard® CPVC Fire Sprinkler Products are UL® listed for U.S. and Canada applications for Light Hazard occupancies as defined in NFPA 13, Residential occupancies up to and including 4-stories as defined in NFPA 13R, and Residential occupancies for one and two family dwellings and manufactured homes as defined in NFPA 13D. Consult Spears® FlameGuard® CPVC Fire Sprinkler Products Installation Instructions and NFPA Standards for additional applications including air plenum, system risers, concealed, exposed, underground, combustible attic, garage, basement and low pressure dry piping installations.
Full Limited Lifetime Warranty
FlameGuard® CPVC Fire Sprinkler Products carry a limited lifetime warranty against defects in material or workmanship. Consult Spears® warranty for additional details.
Pioneer in Molded-in Metal Insert Head Adapters
Spears® pioneered the development of the FlameGuard® molded-in-place metal thread insert for connection of sprinkler heads to CPVC fire sprinkler systems, plus Metal FIPT threaded female adapters for metal-to-plastic transitions.
Developed the Special Reinforced (SR) Head Adapters
Spears® FlameGuard® continuous improvement program developed the technology to produce a superior patented plastic threaded fitting - the Special Reinforced (SR) Design. This unique design incorporates a patented thermoplastic compression process that equalizes stresses generated by tapered thread joint make-up. All CPVC plastic body and threads provide a more uniform construction and improved corrosion resistance.

The information contained in this section is based on current information and product design at the time of publication and is subject to change without notification. Our ongoing commitment to product improvement may result in some variation. No representations, guarantees or warranties of any kind are made as to its accuracy, suitability for particular applications or results to be obtained therefrom.

General Information
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR INSTALLERS AND USERS:
Plastic piping systems should be ENGINEERED, INSTALLED and OPERATED in accordance with ESTABLISHED DESIGN AND ENGINEERING STANDARDS AND PROCEDURES for plastic piping systems. Suitability for the intended service application should be determined by the installer and/or user prior to installation of a plastic piping system. All installation and maintenance personnel should be trained in the proper handling and installation requirements and precautions of plastic piping systems. PRIOR TO ASSEMBLY, all piping system components should be inspected for damage or irregularities. Mating components should be checked to assure tolerances and engagements are compatible. Do not use any components that appear irregular or do not fit properly. Contact the appropriate manufacturer of the component product in question to determine usability. Consult all applicable codes and regulations for compliance prior to installation.
Installation must be made in accordance with Spears® Manufacturing Company
FlameGuard® CPVC Fire Sprinkler Piping Products Installation Instructions - FG-3
NOTE - Individual or group instruction in correct solvent welding procedures is available by contacting your local distributor or your servicing Spears® Regional Distribution Center.
SOLVENT CEMENT CONNECTIONS - Spears® Manufacturing Company recommends the use of Spears® FS-5 One Step solvent cement for joining Spears® products. Use of solvent cementing products not approved for CPVC fire sprinkler systems, or failure to follow installation instructions will automatically void the warranty.
THREADED CONNECTION - Spears® Manufacturing Company recommends the use of Spears® BLUE 75™ Thread Sealant. This product has been tested by Spears® and the sealant manufacturer for compatibility with the Spears® CPVC fire sprinkler products. Consult the sprinkler head manufacturer before using this product. WARNING: OTHER PIPE JOINT COMPOUNDS OR PASTES MAY CONTAIN SUBSTANCES THAT COULD CAUSE STRESS CRACKING IN THE CPVC OR OTHER FITTING COMPONENTS. Care must be taken to avoid over torquing - generally 1 to 2 turns beyond finger tight is all that is required to make up a threaded connection. Factory testing has indicated 10-25 ft. lbs. of torque is adequate to obtain a leak free seal.
GASKET SEALED THREAD CONNECTIONS - This type of connection can only be made with Spears® TorqueSafe™ style Gasket Sealed Female Sprinkler Adapters. DO NOT USE ANY TYPE OF THREAD SEALANT WHEN INSTALLING THIS TYPE OF ADAPTER. Tape or paste may impair proper sealing and function. Testing has shown that hand tight until snug is all that is needed to seal this special connection.
Installation Training Available - Contact Spears® Technical Services for Details
FlameGuard® Products must be installed in accordance with Spears® CPVC Fire Sprinkler Piping Products Installation Instructions, National Fire Protection Association Standards 13, 13R, 13D, and in accordance with local codes. Code requirements and field conditions may differ. It is the responsibility of the installing contractor to ensure that the product is suitable to meet these requirements.

The CPVC Fire Sprinkler Head Adapter
You've Been Waiting For...
  • Eliminates Radial Stress
  • Requires NO Thread Sealants
  • Eliminates Sealant Incompatibility
  • Prevents OverTightening
  • Provides Easy Frame Alignment
  • UL® Listed for U.S. and Canada
  • FM® Approved
Spears® TorqueSafe™ revolutionary design features a special molded-in-place Brass Thread Insert fitted with an elastomer gasket seal at the base of the threads. The gasket seal allows a modified thread design that eliminates radial stress and associated problems typical with tapered thread joint make up. The insert is designed to rotate during head installation for easy sprinkler frame alignment without over tightening.
No Sealant = No More Problem's.
Using incompatible thread pastes and pipe dopes is the major cause of environmental stress cracking in plastics. Tape sealants are far too frequently improperly or excessively applied. These problems are fully eliminated.
NO-Stress Thread Design
The modified straight thread design is engineered to provide a tight joint at full engagement without radial stress from tapered thread expansion. An internal gasket retaining lip serves as a positive stop against overtightening. No stress assures years of long, trouble free service.
Gasket Sealing
An EPDM gasket has been engineered for sealing against the sprinkler head. The NPT male thread starts on all sprinkler heads provide a uniform surface for positive, reliable seal. Hundreds of tests have been performed using virtually all brands of heads and even rough, galvanized pipe nipples without any damage or loss of sealing.
