Malleable : The unique feature of Kisan Composite Pipe is it’s malleability. Kisan Composite Pipe is easily formed into curves, sets by hand and only requires bending springs when forming tight bends down to radius equivalent to 5 times the diameter of pipe. Unlike plastic plumbing pipes, Kisan Composite Pipe permanently holds whatever shape it is formed into and does not need additional clips or brackets to retain the shape of bends or curves. Kisan Composite Pipe piping systems don’t corrode. Will never pit or develop pin holes from aggressive water leading to premature failure. No scale build up to reduce flow. Soluble encrustants, such as calcium carbonate do not readily precipitate onto the smooth walls of Kisan Composite Pipe. In addition there are no reduction in flow areas and flow coefficients as the pipes age. Flame/Smoke Rating : Kisan Composite Pipe has a Flame Spread of 5 and a Smoke Development of 5 as per ULC-S102.2. The ratings meet most building code requirements allowing for the use of Kisan Composite Pipe in high-rise construction as well as in return air plenums and vertical shafts. Permeation : Kisan Composite Pipe’s aluminum core acts as a permeation barrier against entry of contaminants, and limits oxygen permeation to virtually zero. Permeation is the molecular transport of chemicals, from the soil surrounding the pipe, through the pipe wall and into the fluid being carried within. Permeation may have adverse effects on the piping system, the conveyed fluid or both. Kisan Composite Pipe is widely used for the transmission and distribution of potable water providing a second line of defense for the plumbing system. UV Resistance and opacity : Kisan Composite Pipe do not have any effect of UV radiation when laid exposed. There is no light transmission.

Higher flow Because of smooth inside surface Kisan Composite Pipe is furr & scale free and gives higher and consistent flow throughout the service life. Friction drop properties for Kisan Composite Pipes are represented by following graph. In case of Kisan Composite Pipe fittings, the equivalent length for various fittings is as given in the following table. For calculating the friction drop, add the eqivalent length for highest size of fitting to the length of the pipe. Find out the friction drop from graph.

Resists at 20^o as well as 60^o C. Acids, Alcohol, Aldehyde, Ethylene Glycol, Bleach, Corrosion inhibitors, Detergents, Foodstuff, Petrol, diesel, fuel oils, Vegetable/Mineral oils. Resists at ambient temperature. Performance yet to be ascertained at elevated temperatures Beverages, Insecticides, Ketones, Oxidation agents, Paints, Salts, Surfactants/soaps. Chlorine Resistance Kisan Composite Pipe has much better resistance to chlorine attack than other non-composite pipes because of the aluminum middle layer. The outer layer is not exposed to chlorine therefore there is no method for chlorine attack on the outer layer. Kisan Composite Pipes are an excellent choice for continuous re-circulation plumbing applications. Kisan chemical fittings can be used with Kisan Composite Pipe for chemical handling.

It is bendable but does not spring back, is not prone to deformation under pressure & can be directly installed up to 200 mtrs. It Decreases the need for a lot of fittings, is easy to use & saves a lot of Installation time.

Cement tacking is the best method to keep the Kisan Composite pipe in place before concealing.

Always tack the pipe at all the joints.

Don't use sharp objects such as nails and steel wires for holding the pipe. Male threaded fittings are having BSP male threads for connection with BSP female threaded fittings. Female threaded fittings are having BSP female threads for connection with BSP male threaded fittings.

Do's	Don'ts
Always use Kisan test plug for plugging the female threaded open ends. Hand tighten the test plug inside the female threaded fitting. The seal of test plug will ensure sealing of the end. After testing, test plugs should be replaced by plastic threaded plugs. Follow the test procedure as given below.	Never use GI/MS threaded plugs. Over tightening of these plugs for achieving sealing at high pressures may weaken or damage the fitting. GI/MS plugs should not be used for normal plugging also. Corrosion of these plugs over a period may lead to weakening of fittings during removal.

• The whole installation should be tested hydraulically on completion by subjecting all supply and distributing pipes, fittings and connections to appliances, to an internal test pressure of 1.5 times the maximum operating pressure for the installation or the relevant part.
• The whole of the system is subjected internally to the test pressure which is maintained by pumping for 30 minutes, after which the test continues without further pumping.
• The pressure in the system is carefully reduced to one third of the test pressure.
• The pressure does not drop over the following 90 minutes and there is no visible leakage.
