THE QUIET HOUSE® SYSTEM

A QUIET SYSTEM WITH LASTING VALUEQuiet House is exclusive to Charlotte Pipe and Foundry, the only

manufacturer of both cast iron and plastic pipe and fittings. This

unique system combines sound-deadening cast iron with economical

PVC for a plumbing system that is twice as quiet compared to an all-

plastic system, even when the plastic is insulated. It offers a lifetime of

quality and quiet for little more than the cost of an all-plastic system.

Plus, there’s no sloshing, gurgling or gushing. To see an experiment

THE QUIET HOUSE® SYSTEM—EXCLUSIVELY FROM CHARLOTTE PIPE®

A home is a palace. A sanctuary. The one place to sit back and

relax. While the sound of running water can be soothing—a

babbling brook, a garden fountain—it’s not so calming when it

comes from the plumbing system behind the walls of a home.

A home is a large investment—large enough that even the

smallest detail matters. That’s why choosing the Quiet House

System from Charlotte Pipe is so important. It’s what you

don’t hear that makes all the difference.

HOW IT WORKSQuiet House uses cast iron for waste piping, commonly referred to as the

“drops” or “stacks” of the plumbing system. Plastic is used for the vent lines.

By using cast iron for the stacks, the sound of water running behind the

walls is eliminated. Also, our hubless cast iron fits in modern stud walls more

easily than PVC, and there’s no need to bypass living areas to reduce noise.

By combining these products, homeowners get a system that is both

economical and quiet.

ABOUT THE PRODUCTSCast iron pipe and fittings are made from 100% recyclable

content. It has been, and in some cases still is, in use after

more than 100 years of service. This reliability and quality

have earned it a reputation as the premier material for a

plumbing system. All of our cast iron and plastic products

meet or exceed industry standards.

Charlotte Pipe’s plastic pipe and fittings are durable, with

high tensile strength and resilient impact resistance. Our

lines of PVC, ABS, ConnecTite® and FlowGuard Gold®

are easy to install and maintenance-free.
