UPP® pipework utilizes the advanced electrofusion welding process to effectively bond system components including pipework and containment together into one, watertight system. UL UPP® pipe is offered in 1½", 2", 3", and 4" diameters and a variety of stick and coil sizes. EN UPP® pipe is offered in 32mm, 50mm, 63mm, 90mm, 110mm, and 160mm diameters and a variety of stick and coil sizes.
These electrofusion entry seals weld directly to the walls of polyethylene chambers or sumps. They have been specifically designed to reduce the number of fittings necessary to provide water tight seals between the underground tank sump/chamber and the UPP primary or secondary contained pipe and electrical conduit or duct. The nature of the seal means that after installation it becomes one with the sump, with zero leak paths, creating a 100% leak tight system. The seals are polyethylene based allowing electrofusion of UPP pipework systems directly to the penetration, negating the need for mechanical boots and creating a homogeneous structure of the sump, boot and pipe.
XP Pipe quick release fittings bring a new level of ease to APT™ brand XP pipe installation and servicing. These installer-friendly fittings combine the clamping system found on the original XP Pipe clamshell fittings with the capability to connect seamlessly with flexible connectors utilizing a clamp and gasket. Installations are made easier than ever with the removal of additional threaded connections. The flange and clamp also allow for quick disconnection of the pipe from a submersible pump for easy servicing.
Installing APT™ brand XP flexible pipe inside of a narrow-base dispenser sump has never been easier. The XP pipe clamshell tee and elbow fittings allow for an easy space-saving installation by enabling an installer to connect flexible pipe directly into a shear valve riser. This eliminates the need for extra galvanized fittings. By eliminating the galvanized fittings, you also reduce the amount of potential leak points, giving you peace of mind that your installation is secure. With the tee and elbow fittings you can complete an XP pipe installation inside of a sump in less than 16” of linear space. The stainless steel design of the fittings makes them an ideal solution for any fueling application.
APT’s TS-2430, TS-3630 and TS-4230 tank sumps are ideally suited for low cost retro fits and shallow burial applications. The TS-2430 is ideal for line branching points and for containing piping splices. The 36" or 42" bases provide ample space for submersibles and fittings. The bolt-on gasket-lid combination fits economically under a 30" manway.
The APT® below grade intermediate piping sump is a multifunctional component in the underground flexible piping system. The IPS-2424 and IPS-3636 can be used as a containment sump for fittings when utilizing a tee between dispenser islands, for contained piping splices, or for line branching points. These sumps are ideal for a low point sensor chamber between USTs and dispenser islands where required.
