IR PVC-U

Introducing the IR PVC-U, the pioneering infrared welded PVC-U system from GF Piping Systems—a breakthrough in the chemical processing and water treatment sectors.

IR PVC-U

This innovative system merges the robustness of the traditional PVC-U piping with advanced infrared welding technology, enhancing the system’s chemical resistance while eliminating the need for cementing. This welding approach not only improves joint integrity but also significantly enhances workplace safety by reducing exposure to hazardous fumes that typically necessitate suction or ventilation.
