NOV Fiber Glass Systems is the combination of the Star® Fiberglass product line and the Smith Fibercast® product lines bringing over 60 years of "Time -Tested" composite pipe experience to the Petroleum Marketing, Oilfield, Chemical/ Industrial, and Marine and Offshore markets. LISTING Red Thread IIA piping systems are Listed to Underwrit- ers Laboratories Inc. (UL) 971, "Standard for Nonmetallic Under- ground Piping for Flammable Liquids." The UL 971 Listing for Red Thread IIA covers all UL identified fuels and applications and is applicable to both UL and ULC. PRODUCT RED THREAD IIA pipe is a filament wound product using amine -cured epoxy resins and continuous glass filaments with a resin rich interior surface. The thermosetting properties of the pipe won't soften or creep at its maximum operating temperature of 150°F and does not get brittle in temperatures as low as -40°F. Red Thread IIA is a homogenous product with no liner or blad- der. Primary pipe is available in 2" through 4" diameters and secondary pipe is available in 3" through 6" diameters. The pipe offers cyclic operating pressure ratings up to 250 psig at 150°F . FITTINGS Compatible fittings are manufactured with the same chemi- cal/temperature capabilities as the pipe. Fittings are compres- sion molded or filament wound. The primary fittings have the same pressure rating as the piping; containment fittings are rated to 50 psig in 3"-4"sizes and 20 psig in 6". JOINING METHODS T.A.B.T" (Threaded and Bonded) is the primary joining method for pipe joints promoting fast, positive make-up and pre- vents "backout" during curing. The matched taper bell x spigot joint is the primary joining method for fitting joints. These joints assist the installer and assures an fast trouble-free installation. FIELD TAPERING & JOINING Pipe can be cut and easily retapered for installation in the field using NOV Fiber Glass Systems tapering tools. Power or manual tools are available, see Manual 62160, "General Instal- lation Instructions." Red Thread IIA piping is easy and eco- nomical to install due to: 2 • Exclusive T.A.B. joint is supplied in primary piping, • Containment fittings have female threaded inserts, • Compatible adhesives have no shelf life, • 2100 Power Tool for end preparation. RECOMMENDED SERVICES Red Thread IIA piping systems are UL 971 Listed for all UL identified applications and fuels, including alcohol and alcohol - gasoline mixtures of either ethanol or methanol up to and includ- ing 100%. The piping system is compatible with biodiesel and E85 fuels. BENEFITS NOV Fiber Glass Systems is the market leader for under- ground fuel piping systems with 40 years of continuous supply of UL Listed products. Red Thread IIA piping is reliable and never been removed because of fuel incompatibility and is designed to meet governmental environmental regulations including EPA. Thirty Year Warranty - With over 40 years proven perfor- mance in the marketplace, UL 971 Listed RED THREAD IIA pipe, fittings and adhesive carry a 30 -year warranty. The product is war- ranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship and against internal and external corrosion when used for underground transportation of fuels. The pipe's permeability resistance greatly exceeds UL allowable permeability as shown in the chart below: Year Primary Secondary 2004 UL 971 1gm/m2/day 4 gm/m2/day (0.053 gal/100 ft. (0.213 gal/100 ft. of 2" pipe 30 days) of 2" pipe 30 days 1995 UL 971 4 gm/m2/day 24 gm/m2/da (0.213 gal/100 ft. (1.278 gal/100 ft. of 2" pipe 30 days) of 2" pipe 30 days Leak Prevention - UL 971 listed DW and SW bonded sump entry fittings provide positive seal at the sump preventing leaking of underground fuel in or out of the sump. The DW fitting also pro- vides Class I protection which complies with California's require- ment for continuous interstitial monitoring of the piping systems' secondary containment. Exceptional Flow Characteristics - Two -Inch pipe has the largest I.D. (2.235") in the fueling industry allowing the sale of twice the fuel per foot versus any 11/2" flexible product on the market. Three-inch pipe has a nominal 3.36" I.D.; four -inch pipe has a 4.36" I.D. Secondary Containment - A "true pipe in a pipe" which pro- vides an interstitial space for complete communication of fluids.
