This vinyl double containment piping system is fast and easy to install, and is available with a complete selection of pipe, fittings, and valves. Additionally, an innovative “valve-in-valve” design is offered which allows full containment pressure rating. Double-See™ is available in PVC and CPVC; either material may be primary or secondary (PVC x PVC, CPVC x PVC, CPVC x CPVC) with Clear PVC always being an option for the containment pipe. System size options range from 1/2″ x 2″ to 6″ x 10″, meeting virtually any application requirement. Installation versatility allows simultaneous joining throughout a system or in combination with patented closure couplings which enable practical compliance with the ASME B31.3 requirement for visual inspection of all primary joint connections during the pressure test before closing the secondary piping joint.
Double containment piping systems are ideal for ensuring safety when transporting corrosive, toxic, or otherwise hazardous media.
When a leak from the primary pipeline occurs in a double containment system, the fluid is safely contained by the secondary pipe. End-users typically implement a leak detection system to alert operators when a leak has occurred.
These systems can be used in multiple applications, primarily for handling chemical and effluent water transfers.
