Durapipe P-LX
Suitable for 10 bar pressure and vacuum applications, Durapipe P-LX has a smooth polyamide lining that offers minimal resistance to flow with maximum protection against permeation.
Durapipe Secondary Contained P-LX
For additional security against accidental losses, Durapipe P-LX is also available in coiled lengths with an integral close fit outer sheathing. Complemented with a full range of electrofusion fittings and closures to facilitate interstitial monitoring. Durapipe Secondary Contained P-LX fully satisfies DEFRA requirements in respect to protecting buried fuel lines against accidental damage while providing a means of leak detection.
Durapipe P-LVX
Designed for gravity filling underground storage tanks (UST) and venting applications, polyamide lined Durapipe P-LVX has a larger bore that offers even less resistance to liquid and vapour flow under minimal available head.
Termination fittings
ARAL tested Durapipe Pecat® and moulded electrofusion adaptors make the transition to metal systems, withstanding tensile and bending loads while maintaining system integrity.
Compact and easy to fit the deep sockets of the electrofusion adaptors offer greater control of the fusion and cold zone during the jointing cycle.
Fusion welded fittings
Developed from the established Durafuse range, Durapipe P-LX electrofusion fittings create permanent leak-tight joints that exceed the stringent requirements of international gas specifications.
Quick and easy to install at a safe voltage of 39.5V, the deep electrofusion sockets of Durapipe P-LX fittings aid assembly and ensure maximum joint integrity.
Interstitial monitoring
Electrofusion pipe closures seal the secondary and primary pipes and allow periodic pressure testing of the interstice. On remote or unattended installations leak detection systems can be installed to continuously monitor for accidental losses and system damage.
Detection systems can be designed for either over-pressure or under-pressure operation and fitted with a variety of alarm and warning devices.
Multi-port manifolds are used to simultaneously monitor a number of fuel lines.
Ancillary equipment
The integrity of Durapipe P-LX fuel systems is assured with careful pipe preparation and electrofusion jointing.
Consistent quality is made easier with the Durapipe mechanical pipe preparation tool and safe low-voltage electrofusion control unit (ECU) to synchronise the fusion cycle. Several models of the ECU are available ranging from the 110 voltage supply, manual and barcode units to the portable battery operated Nomad unit.
The barcode unit offers the added benefit of retrievable quality control data through the electronic storage feature.
The portable Nomad is ideal for small projects that can generally be completed with just one charge of this battery operated control unit.
