Guardian PVC and CPVC Double Containment Piping Systems from IPEX by Aliaxis feature Centra-lok molded supports, engineered to average 40-60% fewer overall joints and up to 10% fewer field joints than conventional containment systems.
Recognizing that pipe joints are the most common source of premature leaks and system failures, IPEX has designed Centra-lok to minimize maintenance, repair and installation costs and reduce material costs.
The pressure-rated Guardian Double Containment system is available in a variety of vinyl-by-vinyl pipe combinations for both the outside containment line and the carrier line inside. Available vinyl materials include:
- Industrial-grade Xirtec PVC: white Schedule 40, grey Schedule 80 and clear Schedule 40 and Schedule 80
- High-temperature industrial-grade Xirtec CPVC: grey Schedule 40 and Schedule 80.
Pipe diameters are from ½-inch to 18 inches for the carrier line and 2 inches to 24 inches for the containment line. CPVC containment is available up to 16 inches and PVC clear containment up to 8 inches.

System fittings include tees, 45-degree and 90-degree elbows, termination fittings, leak detection stations and a contained ball valve. Fittings are available in white Schedule 40 PVC and Schedule 80 PVC or CPVC in gray.
IPEX also offers a Guardian Double Containment system for drain, waste and vent applications called Drain-Guard. Both carrier and containment lines are PVC and range in size from 1 ½ inches x 4 inches to 8 inches x 12 inches (carrier x containment). Fittings are PVC DWV pattern.
As with all IPEX containment products, the Guardian Containment system is available with the patented Centra-Guard electronic low point leak detection or cable leak detection systems. This system minimizes material, installation and maintenance costs while reducing false alarms.
