Plumbing Pipes, Fittings & Tanks

Overhead Water Tanks, CPVC Pipe & Fittings - Buy Genuine Ashirvad Online

Overhead water tanks provide the storage that keeps water pressure and supply steady across a home, and CPVC pipe and fittings are what actually route that water to every tap, shower and appliance. At Fixxly, this department covers three subcategories - CPVC Pipes & Fittings, Overhead Tanks and Plumbing Accessories - and every product currently listed is genuine Ashirvad: FlowGuard Plus CPVC pipe, the full family of elbows, tees, couplers and valves, concealed and ball valves, and the solvent cement that welds it all watertight. This guide covers overhead tank sizing, CPVC pipe cost, and which fittings a typical run actually needs.

Shop plumbing by type

• CPVC Pipes & Fittings - pipe, elbows, tees, couplers, valves and solvent cement, the range currently populating this page.
• Overhead Tanks - water storage tanks, a separate subcategory with its own dedicated page.
• Plumbing Accessories - the broader consumables and fittings a plumbing job draws on.

Overhead water tanks - the storage behind the supply

Overhead water tanks store water at height and deliver it to every fixture below by gravity, giving steady pressure without a pump running every time a tap is opened. This is the subcategory the primary keyword on this brief points to, and it sits under its own dedicated Overhead Tanks page in this department - the product grid currently live on this specific URL is CPVC pipes and fittings rather than tanks, so tank-specific browsing and buying should go through that sibling subcategory page directly.

Tank capacity should match household demand - the number of occupants and typical daily usage - so the tank neither runs dry at peak times nor sits oversized for no benefit. Overhead water storage tank material and construction also matter: a light-blocking layer prevents algae growth inside the tank, and a food-grade inner surface keeps stored water safe.

CPVC pipe - what's actually stocked here

CPVC pipe is the pipework that carries hot and cold water supply throughout a home, chemically treated to withstand higher temperatures than ordinary PVC, which softens under sustained hot water. Fixxly stocks genuine Ashirvad FlowGuard Plus CPVC Pipe in SDR-11 grade, the common heavy-duty residential standard, alongside the complete family of Ashirvad fittings that build a working CPVC pipework system.

Pipe and pipe fittings - the vocabulary you actually need

A pipe run is mostly fittings. Every change of direction, every branch and every connection to a tap or valve is a separate CPVC fitting, and the Ashirvad range stocked here covers the vocabulary in full - piping and plumbing fitting types you will use again and again on any job:

• Elbow for pipe - Ashirvad FlowGuard Plus CPVC 45° and 90° elbows turn the pipe around a corner without kinking it, including a 90° Elbow Brass version and a 90° Reducer Elbow for stepping down diameter mid-turn.
• Tee - the FlowGuard Plus CPVC Brass Tee, Brass Tee MABT, Cross Tee and Reducer Tee split one line into two or more branches, feeding off the main run to reach a tap or fixture.
• Coupler and reducer coupler - straight connectors that join two lengths of pipe end to end, or step the pipe down from a larger to a smaller diameter.
• Threaded adaptors - FAPT (female adaptor pipe thread), MAPT (male adaptor pipe thread), Reducing FABT and Reducing MAPT connect the solvent-welded CPVC system to threaded metal parts like taps and mixers.
• Bushing and end cap - a bushing steps down pipe diameter within a fitting body, and an end cap closes off a line for pressure-testing or a future connection.
• Non-return valve - stops water flowing backward through a line, protecting the supply from contamination at a connection point.

Fitting CPVC valves - ball valves and concealed valves

An Ashirvad FlowGuard Plus CPVC Ball Valve lets you shut off water to a section of the house without draining the whole system - essential before a bathroom, a water heater, or any fixture you might need to service. The concealed valve range, in Long and Short spindle versions, is built into the wall behind a tap or shower fitting, giving isolation control at the fixture itself without a visible valve body.

CPVC pipe cost - what actually drives it

CPVC pipe cost is driven by diameter, wall thickness and length, while fitting cost depends on type and size - individual Ashirvad fittings here range from around ₹11 for a simple end cap to over ₹1,800 for a full concealed valve set. Because a single bathroom run uses dozens of small fittings alongside the pipe itself, cost the tees, elbows, couplers and adaptors alongside the pipe, not as an afterthought - the fittings often add up to more than the pipe on a typical job.

CPVC solvent cement - the joint is only as good as the glue

Ashirvad FlowGuard Plus CPVC Solvent is what actually makes a joint watertight - a solvent-weld joint is not glue in the ordinary sense, it chemically softens the surfaces of both the pipe and the fitting so they fuse into a single piece as they cure. Apply an even coat to both surfaces, insert with a slight quarter-turn, and give the joint the recommended cure time before pressurising the line. A rushed or dry-fit joint is the number one cause of leaks in an otherwise perfect CPVC system.

Frequently asked questions

Are overhead tanks sold on this specific page?

The live product grid on this URL currently shows CPVC pipes, fittings and valves only. Overhead water tanks and overhead water storage tanks sit under their own dedicated Overhead Tanks subcategory page within this same plumbing department.

Does Fixxly stock genuine Ashirvad CPVC products?

Yes - all 33 products currently listed in this range are genuine Ashirvad FlowGuard Plus, one of India's leading CPVC pipe and fittings manufacturers.

What size overhead water tank do I need?

Tank capacity should match household size and daily usage, sized generously enough to avoid running dry at peak demand without being so large it wastes space and cost unnecessarily.

What is the difference between CPVC and PVC pipe?

PVC is suitable for cold water and drainage but softens under hot water, while CPVC is chemically modified to withstand hot water up to around 93 degrees Celsius. For any line carrying hot water, CPVC pipe is required, not PVC.

How many CPVC fittings do I need for a bathroom?

It varies with the layout, but a single bathroom typically needs several tees to branch off to the basin, shower and WC, multiple elbows for corners, couplers to join lengths, threaded adaptors at each fixture, and at least one ball valve to isolate the room.

Which solvent cement should I use on CPVC?

Always use a solvent cement specifically labelled for CPVC, such as genuine Ashirvad FlowGuard Plus CPVC Solvent. Generic PVC cement does not create a reliable weld on CPVC and is a common cause of leaks.
