The wrong underground piping material could put your entire business in the hole.
If you're rebuilding your station, you're probably in a rush for the pipe to be in the ground and tested so you can get on with your real business of selling fuel. But don't forget to take a close look at your choice of piping materials. Here are three things to think about when you choose between 'hard' piping like Dualoy®3000/L and the 'soft' system that's just come on the market. For starters, there's fluid hammer. Topping off can cause pressure spikes of 20 atm or more. Soft systems use thermoplastic hoses in the primary with safety factors of 3: 1 or less . That's not a lot of margin for failure. With Dualoy 3000/L rigid-wall fiberglass pipe from Ameron you get a safety factor of over 1o:1. Second, there's UL-listing. Soft system containment doesn't have it. Wouldn't you want the assurance of a

third party like UL that the containment can prevent soil contamination in case of a leak? You have that assurance with Dualoy 3000 / L. Next, there's re testability. Hose systems give you soft containment and sump penetrations that rely on soft flexibl e boots with minimal pressure capabilities. With soft containment it's a chore to retest the system once in se rvice-if you can retest at all. Dualoy 3000 /L provid es rigid -wall, adhesive- bonded containm ent and sump penetration s with an inter/ stitial space th at' s unbroken from pump to dispenser: yo u can retest th e entire sys tem in a jiffy so you '11 kno w it' s reall y working. ~---- ----
