Astral Aquarius is a lead-free, uPVC piping system for potable water that was introduced by Astral for the first time in India in 2004.
This system of uPVC pipes and fittings is used for cold water application.
The maximum service temperature of this piping system is 60°C.
In earlier days, PVC pipes with threads were used in these applications and it caused joint leakage, provided less hydraulic strength due to threads, and the overall installation was more complicated. Aquarius uPVC pipes and fittings are solvent weld joint systems that impart double pressure bearing capacity than conventional PVC threaded pipes.
