100 mil thick filament woundfiberglass reinforced plastic10 gauge minimum steel conduithot dipped galvanized per ASTM A123Air spaceInsulation, as specifiedPipe, as specified For over 30 years, PERMA-PIPE/RICWIL has been offeringHot Dip Galvanized outer casings for underground distribution
systems. The galvanization was applied to the exterior, as
well as the interior of the outer pipe providing a clean, corrosion
resistant and highest quality Class A system for underground
heat distribution.We have now added an additional thick cladding of fiberglassreinforced plastic on top of the galvanized system for
maximum resistance to adverse corrosion and environmental
conditions.This system is "The Ultimate Corrosion Fighter".
GALVA-GARD has the strength of steel and the corrosionresistance of galvanizing and fiberglass. The fiberglass
cladding is highly resistant to acids, alkalis, salts and
chemicals found in the soil. This material has a high dielectric strength and is designed to withstand 35,000 volt sparktesting, thus eliminating the need for cathodic protection.
No pipe coating can meet the performance of the
GALVA-GARD fiberglass cladding.The GALVA-GARD fiberglass cladding is filament wounddirectly onto a hot dipped galvanized surface that has been
coated with a bonding layer. GALVA-GARD has been
developed especially for underground application and for
severe above grade environments. The smoothwall conduit
is chosen for this product because of its small seam,
providing complete contact of the cladding to the conduit.The casing is capable of withstanding earth and H20 trafficloads. The cladding also resists the stresses of handling,
soil movement and backfill compaction. GALVA-GARD is
manufactured in 20-foot lengths or 40-foot lengths withfittings, odd lengths and accessories as required. size="-4">
