Easy to transport and handle <br /> The light weight of fiberglass makes <br /> Dualoy 3000/L easier to transport <br /> and handle than steel. A typical <br /> service station requires from 800 to <br /> 1000 feet of piping. For 2-inch steel <br /> pipe, that's about 13/4 tons—a hefty <br /> truckload. The same footage of - <br /> Dualoy 3000/L weighs less than <br /> 500 pounds and can easily be �' 1»� <br /> carried on a light pick-up. One - -- -_ <br /> person can unload enough - <br /> Dualoy 3000/L for a whole - <br /> service station job quickly, by - ....A � <br /> hand, without a forklift. <br /> The fiberglass pipe weight. , <br /> advantage is even more telling <br /> during installation. A standard „ =� <br /> h <br /> 20-foot length of 2-inch steel weighs <br /> over 70ounds, the equivalent <br /> p q - <br /> Dualoy 3000/L a scant 9 pounds. 1 � e <br /> This means easier handling and <br /> L: <br /> lower labor costs during cutting, A worker easily carries 100 feet o12 Inch Dualoy 3000,1L o ce during a service stat on rehabilita.!on.

Dualoy 3000/L <br /> pipe arrives at the job-site with theF <br /> ' <br /> ends factory tapered. Fiberglass NJ <br /> pipe and nipples can be cut to <br /> length much more quickly than , - <br /> steel, and the cut ends tapered in a - <br /> fraction of the time needed to thread <br /> steel pipe. For example, a 2-inch <br /> end can be prepared in less than <br /> 20 seconds using a portable <br /> tapering tool for on-site joint <br /> preparation. <br /> Most steel pipe failures start at 1 <br /> threaded joints: threading the pipe <br /> peels off the protective coating and <br /> exposes the bare metal. By contrast, ' <br /> the Dualoy 3000/L pipe wall is <br /> constructed of corrosion resistant 4 , <br /> materials throughout, so tapering f <br /> the pipe end does not compromise <br /> its corrosion resistance. < <br /> Simple, threadless joining r '' <br /> Dualoy 3000/L employs a deep <br /> socket bell and spigot adhesive Dint Dualoy3000/Lpipeissoeasytoworkwiththatitcan6 olength using anordinaryhacksaw Tne <br /> 1 cut end of the pipes then tapered with a porlable tape.,-o machine Both cutting and tapering cal be <br /> for faster joining than threaded steel accomplished without even getting out ofthe trench. <br />
