acksaw. <br />d <br />C <br />Unlike competitive fiberglass and <br />steel piping, Dualoy 3000/L has no <br />threads to cross or strip. A slight twist <br />as the spigot is inserted into the bell <br />and the joint is complete. The joint <br />can usually be made by a single <br />worker. Compare this to the effort <br />needed to screw steel pipe together, <br />where it frequently takes two workers <br />to join even 2 -inch pipe — to say <br />nothing of larger sizes. An important <br />point, since 1 out of 7 steel pipe <br />joint failures can be attributed to <br />loose fittings. <br />The quick adhesive joint is one reason a two- <br />man crew can put in more Dualoy 3000/L in <br />3 days than a three-man steel crew in 4 days. <br />Dualoy 3000/L is the only line of <br />fiberglass pipe, fittings and adapters <br />available in a full two- 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 large - <br />volume facilities such as bulk fuel <br />terminals, marinas and central <br />fuel oil systems. <br />Secondary containment <br />systems <br />Ameron Dualoy 3000/L secondary <br />containment systems use rigid, <br />heavy -wall outer fittings with the next <br />larger size pipe to enclose the carrier <br />pipe totally from turbine to dispenser. <br />These systems provide a continuous <br />annular space between secondary <br />and primary which makes it possible <br />to test the integrity of the containment <br />and to monitor the product lines at <br />any time. <br />All pipe and fittings in an Ameron <br />containment system are manufac- <br />tured from the same fiberglass <br />reinforced resins as the primary, so <br />the containment piping has the same <br />excellent chemical resistance as the <br />product lines. <br />Dualoy 3000/L containment systems <br />are easy to install. The pipe is so <br />smooth on the outside that the <br />contractor need only remove the <br />surface gloss at the ends of the pipe <br />before installing the containment <br />fittings: no special end preparation is <br />required. Only Ameron can offer such <br />simple installation. <br />Complete inspectabillty <br />Ameron Inspection Containment <br />piping employs pipe of two slightly <br />different diameters in the secondary <br />Adjacent lengths of Inspection Containment <br />pipe may be nested together to provide easy <br />access to primarypipe and fittings. <br />so that adjacent sections can be <br />nested together, thus providing <br />complete access to the primary line <br />during bonding, testing and <br />inspection. No other containment <br />system is easier to install. <br />After the primary has passed inspection, <br />sections of Inspection Containment piping <br />are joined with reducing couplings. <br />UL -listed alcohol piping <br />systems <br />Ameron was the first in the fiberglass <br />pipe industry to obtain UL listing for <br />alcohol service in underground piping <br />systems. Standard Dualoy 3000/L is <br />compatible with allowable limits of <br />alcohols (4.75% methanol; 10% <br />ethanol) and ethers (15% MTBE). <br />Ameron also offers a full range of <br />fittings and adhesives which can be <br />used with standard Dualoy 3000/L <br />pipe for systems carrying alcohol <br />blends and straight alcohols such as <br />M85 and M100. <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 />
