TRACPIPE IS A TIME AND LABOUR SAVING GAS PIPING SYSTEM IDEAL FOR THE CURRENT ECONOMICALLY CHALLENGING MARKETPLACE… Smart installers don’t cut corners

F irst launched to the UK market in 2000, TracPipe is a BSI Kitemarked stainless steel semi-rigid gas piping system used on commercial and residential projects for LPG or natural gas from the meter to the appliance. TracPipe can be directly buried in the ground or non-structural screed and used externally above ground without the need for additional mechanical and corrosion protection. The piping system has a two-hour fire rating when installed in continuous lengths (no joints) and can be routed within fire protected shafts, corridors and lobbies. The outer cover of TracPipe also has a class leading Euroclass Reaction to Fire rating of B-s1 d0. TracPipe is typically three times faster to install compared with traditional rigid steel or copper pipe installation – ideal for installers looking for a competitive advantage by reducing labour

time in a challenging marketplace. It has become recognised as the perfect alternative to rigid pipework installed between the meter and a fixed appliance. It is easy to cut and bend by hand, and requires no soldering, welding or special tools. TracPipe is supplied in sizes from DN12 to DN50 with lengths of up to 90m as standard with longer lengths available as special orders. TracPipe Kits are available in sizes DN15, DN22, DN28 and DN32 in 5, 10 and 15 metre lengths. COVER UP TracPipeCC is the original TracPipe but it has a second polyethylene outer cover over the length of the product. TracPipeCC was designed to be installed in unventilated voids by adding an additional secondary containment sleeve. The initial research, design and development of the innovative TracPipeCC product was carried out by OmegaFlex in conjunction with key gas industry stakeholders

to ensure it met all necessary safety and installation requirements. This involved a robust internal testing regime to ensure the secondary outer cover performed as a ventilated duct in all aspects of installations likely to be encountered. TracPipeCC remains the only product of this type that has been successfully independently assessed by two of the UK’s leading test authorities. TracPipeCC is available in sizes DN15 to DN50 and is supplied on reels of varying standard lengths with longer lengths available as special orders.
