Product catalog summary
Overview: The document outlines the PERMA-PIPE® / RICWIL® DUAL-GARD 250® system, a preinsulated piping solution designed for the underground distribution of chilled and low-temperature hot water and condensate, capable of handling temperatures up to 250°F. The system includes a fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) service pipe, insulated with polyurethane foam, and encased in a PVC jacket.
Specifications:
  • Service Pipe: Constructed from chemically resistant epoxy resins reinforced with fiberglass filament, meeting military specification MIL-P-28584.
  • Insulation: Utilizes rigid polyurethane foam with a 90%-95% closed cell structure, a density of 2.0 lb/ft³, and a thermal conductivity of 0.16 Btu-in/hr-ft²-°F at 73°F.
  • Outer Jacket: Made from Type 1 Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), offering a durable and flexible vapor barrier.
  • Pressure-Temperature Rating: Supports a continuous working pressure of 150 psig, with a temperature range from 40°F to 250°F.
Installation Procedures:
  • Trenching: Trenches should be narrow yet wide enough for proper tamping, with a smooth bottom free of sharp objects.
  • Joint Assembly: Involves using a special resin/catalyst adhesive for bonding, with electric heating blankets for curing.
  • Backfilling: Partial backfill is done after installation, with final backfill following hydrostatic testing.
Testing and Quality Control:
  • Pressure and Leak Testing: Lines are tested at specified pressures, not exceeding 225 psig.
  • Quality Control: All units undergo factory inspection to ensure insulation remains dry and efficient.
Benefits:
  • Non-corrosive and resistant to corrosion.
  • Facilitates fast installation, reducing field costs.
  • Ensures maximum system efficiency with a positive moisture barrier.
Warranty: PERMA-PIPE® guarantees its products against defects in material and workmanship, with specific terms for claims and replacements.

A. Depending upon field conditions alterations can be made by cutting either end of the unit. Determine the amount which the standard unit is to be shortened. Using this figure, measure back from the end of pipe to a point on the outer jacket and mark. Cut completely through. B. Measure back a dimension equal to factory-bare pipe end and cut through jacket only. Use care to avoid cutting inner pipe. Split jacket and polyurethane. Remove and discard. C. Apply moisture-protective seal in accordance with DUAL-GARD 250 Installation Manual. All necessary materials furnished by PERMA-PIPE. D. Remove...
