- Cost Effective
- Broad Range of Sizes
- Long-term Reliability
As an investment, System 15 is a winner. It’s a cost-effective “workhorse” designed for the majority of low-rise and light commercial applications where DWV systems don’t run through air plenums.
In addition to costing less than cast iron, System 15 pipe and fittings are engineered to withstand years of uninterrupted service. Made of tough, impact resistant PVC, System 15 won’t rust, pit, scale or degrade, even under continued exposure to moisture, salts, aggressive soils and most acids. Interior and exterior walls remain smooth, ensuring years of reliable, maintenance-free flow.
As well, System 15 is lightweight and easy to handle, making installation — even in confined or awkward wall spaces — fast and easy. There’s no need to pay for special hoisting equipment or extra manpower. This all converts to significant cost savings over copper and cast iron piping.
Do the math: System 15 is an unbeatable, cost-effective investment — now and for years to come.

CASE STUDIES
Firestopping Combustible Pipes – Mechanical Business Magazine, September/October 2020
Since plastic piping systems are used so widely in construction today, I’ve teamed up with Kevin Yong-Ping, one of IPEX’s engineers, to raise the awareness of firestopping best practices as they relate to combustible pipe penetrations.
When do the flame spread rating (FSR) of not more than 25 and smoke developed classification (SDC) of not more than 50 come into play?
