UL/ULC Listed Red Thread® IIA Piping System <br /> Fiber Glass Systems, L.P. (FGS) <br /> Worldwide Leader in Composite Piping <br /> We call our fiberglass reinforced piping systems 'time tested"because they have been proving their durability and value in <br /> harsh environments and unforgiving applications for decades. In fact,we're closing in on our 60th anniversary, and some <br /> of our buried fuel-handling installations have been in the ground for almost 40 years. <br /> We offer extensive experience in designing, engineering, manufacturing, fabricating, and installing piping systems for <br /> caustic chemicals,abrasive slurries, hot temperatures, and high pressures-as well as less abusive forms of service. <br /> A long list of"firsts"includes: <br /> • World's first composite pipe manufacturer <br /> • 1st UL Listed non-metallic pipe for fuel handling in 1968 <br /> • 1st manufacturer to be UUULC Listed to 2004 UL 971 <br /> • 1st North American pipe manufacturer to earn ISO 9001 certtfcation <br /> • 1st U.S.pipe manufacturer to achieve API Q1 status <br /> Fiber Glass Systems, L.P. (FGS)combines the resources of Star Fiberglass and Smith Fibercast. With five manufacturing <br /> facilities in North America and two in the Far East, FGS offers a wide range of products to meet most piping needs. <br /> FGS offers the broadest, most comprehensive product selection available. We're the only manufacturer producing <br /> both filament wound and centrifugally cast piping. We market our products through a worldwide network of stocking <br /> distributors. <br /> 4 ' <br /> a � <br /> _ J <br /> - •r - ✓ u <br /> We are supported by the multi-billion global resources of our parent company, National Oilwell Varco- the leader in high- <br /> performance oil field equipment and advanced drilling and well-servicing technologies,with more than 5,000 employees in <br /> 49 countries. <br /> On-site installation training is available by FGS field technicians. Free Smith Fibercast piping-design CD-ROM programs <br /> for all markets, including the UL-Listed Fuel Piping markets (with the Success by Design engineering program), are <br /> available.
