 Harvel Clear™ Rigid PVC piping provides a versatile, cost-effective alternative for many piping applications, particularly those where visual monitoring of processes is critical.
The benefits of rigid PVC piping are well recognized: exceptional corrosion resistance; smooth interior walls for unimpeded flow and reduced sediment buildup; non-contaminating for purity applications; fast, reliable solvent-welded connections; good pressure-bearing capability; and ease of handling and installation, to name a few.
All of these important benefits are now available in a unique product with optimum clarity. This clarity provides the all-round visibility that specialized applications demand — whether it be clean room applications, sight glass, dual-containment or various other processing applications where continuous monitoring is necessary.

MATERIAL
Harvel Clear™ PVC piping is produced from a rigid, virgin Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) compound with a Cell Classification of 12454 per ASTM D1784. This material enables Harvel Clear piping to safely carry a maximum service temperature of 140°F when appropriate temperature/pressure de-rating factors are applied. In addition to exhibiting desirable physical properties and optimum transparency, this material is listed by the National Sanitation Foundation as being safe for use with potable water (NSF International Standard 61), and also complies with the provisions of Title 21 of the United States FDA Code of Federal Regulations as being safe for use in food contact applications. Due to the non-contaminating nature of Harvel Clear PVC piping products, extensive chemical extraction testing has been conducted to evaluate their use in ultra pure applications. Details pertaining to extractable analysis is available from Harvel upon request.
Harvel Clear™ provides similar reliable chemical resistance
properties that conventional PVC piping has demonstrated over the
years. In general, it is resistant to most acids, bases, salts and
oxidants; detailed chemical resistance data is available and should
be referenced for proper material selection.
Since this material is a nonconductor, Harvel pipe is not subject to electrolytic or galvanic corrosion.
This material is compatible with conventional PVC pipe, fittings and valves, and can be incorporated into existing PVC systems via the solvent cement joining process. In addition to a full line of Schedule 40 clear fittings for most applications, an endless array of standard PVC components and accessories are readily available. Harvel Clear™ PVC exhibits excellent flammability characteristics as well. |
