Outdoor Installations When installed outdoors, the DoubleTrac piping must be adequately protected from puncture, shear, crush or other physical damage threats, including possible damage from: • vehicular or pedestrian traffic, corrosion, • twisting, bending, kinking, chafing, or other excessive or prolonged movement of the piping, • construction and excavation, When installed along the side of a structure in an exposed condition, the DoubleTrac piping shall be installed in a location which will not subject the piping to mechanical damage. NOTE: For support and protection, OmegaFlex recommends that outside runs along the side of a building be clipped securely to the wall or other structural component every six feet. Typical supports are Unistrut conduit hangers, "U" bolts, PVC pipe couplers, or Hosebuns. TYPICAL Marina Installations { Fixed Dock When installing DoubleTrac® on a fixed dock, the piping may be run along the side or underneath it. In either case, the routing must be such that in cannot be damaged, crush, kinked during normal use of the dock. The piping must be supported evenly along the entire run; supports are required every six feet. Typical supports are Unistrut conduit hangers, "U" bolts, PVC pipe couplers, or Hosebuns. Floating Dock DoubleTrac° should not be installed on the walkway from the shore to the dock. The constant flexing due to tide changes will cause fatigue and possible failure of the primary piping. The dock to shore connection should be an approved flexible connector. DoubleTrac® piping can be installed along the length of the floating dock portion. The routing must be such that in cannot be damaged, crush, kinked during normal use of the dock. The piping must be supported evenly along the entire run; supports are required every six feet. Typical supports are Unistrut conduit hangers, "U" bolts, PVC pipe couplers, or Hosebuns. DoubleTrac® piping is not an approved flex connector. Please contact OmegaFlex Engineering Department for flexible double contained dock connectors at 1-800-355-1039. Routine Maintenance and Visual Inspections It is recommended that a visual inspection of all components as well as the inside of all containment sumps be completed at least once per month. Typical monthly inspections include, but are not limited to: • visual inspection of piping: no visible damage to the outer jacket such as cracks, crushing, kinking, or puncture • visual inspection of all mounting hardware: all hardware must be intact and securely mounted in the original location • visual inspection of DoubleTrac fittings: no visible damage to fittings, no sign of leakage, any vent/test port fittings or bypass hoses should be show no sign of crushing, kinking, or puncture. Fuel leaks collected in containment sumps must be reported immediately and investigated by the site owner. If leakage or damage to the piping system is observed or suspected, OmegaFlex must be notified immediately. All sumps must be kept free of fuel, water and debris. When changing fuel filters at the dispenser, make sure any spilled product is cleaned out of the bottom of the dispenser sump to prevent possible fire hazard.
