Piping Solutions for the K-12 Education Market

Providing safe, cost-effective, easy-to-install piping solutions

The Lubrizol Corporation offers a number of attractive plumbing and fire sprinkler solutions that are ideally suited to meet the performance needs and budget of K-12 schools. With a proven-reliable 50+ year track record, our FlowGuard Gold®, BlazeMaster® and Corzan®  piping systems have been successfully installed in a variety of education applications across the globe.  And, our most recent introduction - Corzan® HP pipe and fittings - offers even more benefits. Corzan HP pipe has a 25% higher pressure rating than starndard CPVC at 180ºF (82ºC). In addition, Corzan HP fittings are pressure-rated to the same rating as the pipe to make the Corzan HP system the first and only fully pressure rated schedule 40/80 piping system on the market today.

School administrators, facility managers, specifiers and contractors all prefer our systems for both new construction and retrofits because they offer a tremendous cost savings over competitive options.  The lower total installed cost is a result of stable material prices and lower labor costs resulting from a fast and easy joining process that eliminates the liability of a torch on the job. 

Since all our systems resist corrosion, pitting and scaling, they offer reliable, long-term performance, which creates additional cost savings and minimizes maintenance requirements.  Without corrosion, there are no water quality or health concerns relative to copper contamination.  And, superior antimicrobial performance, as documented by multiple international studies, helps keep students healthy

Quiet operation is another benefit, which means there is less noise to distract students from learning.

With more K-12 schools focusing on sustainability and LEED certification, we are happy to report that our piping systems have lower energy requirements and produce fewer greenhouse emissions than other piping materials.

When you consider all the advantages, it is easy to see why there is no better piping solution for your next school project than one from Lubrizol.  As the world leader in piping solutions, more than anything, we provide K-12 schools with peace of mind—not only with piping products that consistently meet the highest quality standards, but also with the industry’s largest network of technical support specialists.  When reliability, value and safety matter most, there is no better piping solution than one offered from Lubrizol.
