E'IBERCLA56=. <br />UL LISTED SYSTEM ... <br />RED THREAD IIA pipe and RED <br />THREAD II fittings are UL Listed for <br />use in conveying petroleum pro- <br />ducts, alcohols, and alcohol - <br />gasoline mixtures underground; <br />For primary product piping, RED <br />THREAD IIA pipe comes in 2', 3"1 <br />and 4" diameter sizes. It is joined <br />with UL Listed RED THREAD II <br />fittings. <br />For secondary containment piping, . <br />3" and 4" diameter RED THREAD <br />IIA pipe is joined with special two- <br />piece, UL Listed RED THREAD II <br />secondary containment fittings. <br />RED THREAD IIA product piping, <br />when contained by secondary pip- <br />ing, results in a fuel system you can <br />doubly rely on. The containment <br />system can be pressure tested and <br />continuously monitored. <br />Manufactured from tough epoxy <br />resin and fiberglass reinforcements, <br />RED THREAD IIA pipe resists corro- <br />sion from petroleum fuels such as <br />gasoline and alcohol blends — <br />including 100 percent ethanol and <br />methanol. <br />And it won't rust or corrode in <br />soils and corrosive fluids typically <br />found in the harsh service station <br />environment. <br />RED THREAD IIA pipe comes from <br />the factory with TAB.' (Threaded <br />and Bonded) end connections. One <br />end of the pipe is a tapered male <br />spigot, and the other end has a <br />female coupling (integral bell or <br />bonded -on coupling). Each end is <br />threaded with special profile <br />double -lead threads for fast, easy <br />assembly of pipe -to -pipe connec- <br />tions. Specially -formulated epoxy <br />adhesive is brushed on the pipe <br />ends at the time of installation. <br />Special tapering tools from Smith <br />Fiberglass Products can be used to <br />apply the proper taper angle to the <br />pipe ends. The mechanical locking <br />action of matching bell and spigot <br />taper angles produces a strong joint. <br />Spigot ends can be joined to female <br />pipe couplings or belled fitting ends <br />with or without the T.A.B. connection. <br />When connecting containment <br />pipe and fittings, plain ends of <br />containment pipe are machined or <br />Bulletin No. B2120 <br />February 15, 1991 <br />ii��111 q 1!1 1111 IN 1111�� <br />AR <br />thoroughly sanded to accept the <br />two-piece containment fitting. <br />Refer to Smith Fiberglass Products <br />Manual No. B2160 for detailed <br />installation instructions. <br />For UL Listed RED THREAD II pro- <br />duct and secondary containment <br />fittings specifications, see Manual <br />No. B2100. <br />QUALITY ASSURANCE <br />As with all piping systems from Smith <br />Fiberglass Products, high quality <br />standards have been set for RED <br />THREAD IIA pipe. Raw materials <br />and manufacturing equipment are <br />routinely checked and monitored <br />for consistency and performance. <br />At least 98 percent of all finished <br />pipe is hydrostatically tested before <br />shipment — far beyond the <br />requirements of Underwriters <br />Laboratories Inc. <br />The quality assurance procedures <br />for UL Listed RED THREAD IIA pipe <br />meet minimum hydrostatic test <br />requirements of UL. The mill test <br />pressures for pipe are as follows: <br />2" - 375 psig <br />3" - 265 psig <br />4" - 265 psig <br />Molded fittings are 100 percent <br />hydrostatically tested, and secon- <br />dary containment fittings are tested <br />on a sampling plan approved by UL. <br />Irl: f� <br />RED THREAD IIA pipe is joined in <br />the field with special adhesives from <br />Smith Fiberglass Products. <br />-:.�°'-s.'�'.L �- � .+-�m.��.•.rg.»..:a...�- � :a.Z m�€.s.,b.,:>..w.Y..w:':�,�:..
