Double-containment piping systems help prevent failures
Asahi/America
Poly-Flo co-extruded double-containment piping systems (photo), available in black polyethylene and Euro-grey polypropylene random copolymer, are suitable for installations with space constraints or systems where thermal expansion and contraction are present. Poly-Flo systems include full-pressure fittings, drainage fittings and machined fittings. The system is available in various sizes, and operates at pressures up to 150 psi at 68ºF. Poly-Flo pipes and fittings act like a single-wall system, which helps prevent the types of failures often seen in fabricated systems. This is especially important in installations with fluctuating temperatures or applications like directional drilling, where opposing forces act on the carrier and containment pipes. The system’s low cost and simple installation also make it suitable for drainage systems, pressurized transfer lines and industrial applications that require up to a 4-in. carrier pipe.
