E <br />Inspection, handling Do not drop the pipe from truck bed when stringing: Lay the pipe down by hand. <br />and storage (cont.) Pipe loads that are properly separated and supported can be unloaded by padded <br />forklifts. <br />Storage <br />Dualoy 3000/1- pipe incorporates a resin -rich reinforced outer coating which provides <br />outstanding UV resistance. Pipe stored out-of-doors for extended periods may assume <br />a chalky appearance. However, this change in appearance is superficial and does not <br />affect the pipe's performance. Protect stored pipe from impact damage by stacking on <br />padded racks. <br />Materials Pipe <br />Manufacturer tallies pipe on the basis of overall length. Allow for cutting losses and <br />wastage when ordering. <br />Fittings <br />Primary pipe fittings are sold in the following boxed quantities. <br />Primary Fittings per Shipping Box <br />Nominal <br />Pipe Size 90° 45° Sleeve <br />(in) (mm) Elbows Elbows Tees Couplings Adapters Nipples Bushings <br />2 50 10 10 10 15 15 15 15 <br />3 80 5 5 5 10 5 10 10 <br />Adhesives <br />Ameron supplies PSX•20 and PSX•34 adhesives. PSX•20 and PSX•34 adhesives are <br />polysiloxane-modified epoxy formulations. Both are designed to make permanent <br />bonds in primary systems transferring MV, CF, HB or A&M fuels. They are also <br />approved for use with MTBE fluids. Each is supplied as a two part system consisting of a <br />resin and a hardener. PSX•20 is preferred fortapered joints and will be assumed for <br />further references. <br />Each adhesive kit contains <br />• resin • Detailed usage instructions <br />• Hardener • Emery paper <br />• mixing stick • Gloves <br />• Spatula and brush • Paper towels <br />Refer to the layout drawings to estimate the number of adhesive kits required. Include <br />bonds for all fittings, elbows, tees, reducers, adapters and couplings plus a waste factor. <br />Short pot life at higher temperatures may not allow as many bonds to be made as <br />indicated in the table: allow a greater waste factor at higher temperatures. For further <br />information refer to the adhesive product data sheet. <br />Primary Bonds per Kit' <br />Nominal Pipe Size Adhesive Kit Size (oz) <br />(in) (mm) 3 5 2 82,3 <br />2 50 7 12 — <br />3 80 4 8 14 <br />4 100 3 6 9 <br />6 150 1 2 4 <br />1 The average number of primary system bonds obtainable by an experienced crew at <br />75°F. <br />2 Available in six-pak kits. <br />3 Excessive waste may result when using the 8 -oz kit to make 2 -inch bonds. <br />4 <br />
