The transition sleeve is the practical, environmentally sound solution for above and below ground supply of generator or boiler applications from remote storage tanks. Steel piping enters the sleeve through APT special flexible double entry boots. It is an economical alternative that allows a straightforward installation with no special tools.
APT® secondary test boots are designed for testing the integrity of secondary contained flexible piping when using APT® clamshell fittings. Each boot has an air chuck for applying air pressure to the secondary containment jacket. Placing a boot on each end of the secondary containment jacket forms an airtight chamber for testing. After the testing is completed, slide the boots back on the pipe to open the secondary system. The boots remain on the pipe available for future testing as required by local regulations.
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. The spigot on both sides of the 305 allow for EIF welding. The seal is fully vacuum and pressure testable ensuring 100% leak free seals and sumps.
APT tank fitting adapters provide a high quality, cost-effective way to mount tank sumps to a standard 4" NPT tank opening or 6" NPT tank opening. The bright zinc plated cast iron construction is not only strong, but corrosion-resistant. The TFA-400-II and TFA-600 are easy to install and their single hole style mounting allows sumps to be rotated to properly align pipe entries.
The 4542 Series one-piece tank sump is made of high-density polyethylene with a factory installed gasket snap-on lid. The 16 side panels allow for pipe entry from virtually any direction. The 4542 Series is available in three burial depths. Each offers an optional inspection port (IP) for easy viewing of the interior of the sump without removal of the lid.
With the PetroTite Standard and Optimum fusion chambers the riser section electrofuses to the base, removing the need for multiple bolt holes and foam gaskets in this area, therefore dramatically reducing the number of potential leak paths. With its simplified assembly, this electrofusion system also reduces the installation time. Welding of the chamber can be performed using UPP electrofusion equipment in approximately six minutes. Once welded and cooled the base and riser of the LA models become one homogeneous unit, with no mechanical joints and no leak points. The chamber can then be vacuum tested to ensure that it is 100% leak-tight. The LA Chamber is available in Deep or Shallow risers.
APT™ brand split test boots are designed to make the integrity testing of secondary contained XP Flexible Piping simple and easy. For use on both new or existing sites, these boots feature a hinged design that allows you to clamp the boot down over the pipe after it has been installed. The boot locks itself in position between the primary and secondary pipe layers using the stainless steel clamp.
