Compare this to the <br />effort needed to screw steel pipe <br />together, where it frequently takes <br />two workers to join even 2 -inch <br />pipe—to say nothing of larger <br />sizes. An important point since <br />1 out of 7 steel pipe joint leaks can <br />be attributed to loose fittings. <br />Full range of UL -listed sizes <br />Dualoy 3000/L is the only line of <br />fiberglass pipe, fittings and adapters <br />available in a full 2- through 6 -inch <br />size range with Underwriters' <br />Laboratories listing. Ameron thus <br />offers UL -listed components not only <br />for typical small -diameter service <br />station installations, but also for <br />large -volume facilities such as bulk <br />fuel terminals, marinas and central <br />fuel oil systems. <br />.7 <br />Resistant to sunlight <br />In the final step of the unique <br />Dualoy 3000/L pipe manufacturing <br />process, a uniform resin -rich exterior <br />coating is added to protect the resin - <br />glass bond of the structural wall <br />from UV radiation. As a result, <br />Dualoy 3000/L can be stored out of <br />doors without special precautions <br />before installation. <br />Secondary containment <br />systems <br />Ameron secondary containment <br />systems use rigid, heavy wall outer <br />fittings with the next larger size <br />Dualoy 3000/L pipe to totally <br />enclose the UL -listed carrier pipe <br />from turbine to dispenser. These <br />systems provide a continuous <br />space between secondary and <br />primary which makes it possible to <br />test the integrity of the containment <br />at any time. <br />All pipe and fittings in a Dualoy 3000/L <br />containment system are manufactured <br />from fiberglass reinforced epoxy <br />resins. As a result, all components <br />• <br />in the outer piping have the same <br />excellent chemical resistance as <br />the carrier line. <br />Dualoy 3000/L containment systems <br />are easy to install. Dualoy 3000/L <br />pipe is so smooth on the outside <br />that the contractor need only <br />remove the surface gloss before <br />installing the containment fittings: <br />no special end preparation is <br />required. Only Ameron can offer <br />such simple installation. <br />Sales and technical <br />assistance <br />Our engineering department <br />provides technical assistance to <br />owners and contractors in <br />specifying, designing and installing <br />underground fuel -handling systems. <br />Dualoy 3000/L piping is available <br />in the United States and Canada <br />through the most extensive stocking <br />distributor and sales representative <br />network of any fiberglass pipe <br />manufacturer. Contact Ameron <br />Fiberglass Pipe Division, Houston, <br />Texas for further information. <br />Ameron secondary containment systems employ rigid, heavy wall epoxy fittings with Dualoy 3000/L <br />pipe to contain the carrier piping.
