Proto PVC Fitting Covers

Description
The Proto® Fitting Cover System consists of
one-piece, pre-molded, high-impact PVC fitting covers with fiber
glass inserts and accessories. Accessories are elbows, tee/valves,
end caps, mechanical line couplings, specialty fittings, jacketing,
tacks, and PVC tape.
Application
The Proto Fitting Cover System is used to insulate mechanical
piping systems at fitting locations. It provides PVC jacketing for
straight run piping and gives a quality appearance and excellent
durability.
Features and Benefits
Fire and Smoke Safety
- Proto PVC Fittings do not exceed 25 Flame Spread, 50 Smoke
Developed.
- Roll jacketing is available in 25/50-rated or indoor/outdoor
grade.
- The 25/50 products meet most fire and safety requirements of
federal state and local building codes.
UV Resistant
- Use indoors or outdoors.
- Paint outdoor fittings to enhance UV and colorfast
protection.
Excellent Appearance
- Bright high-gloss white coloring adds a distinct quality
appearance to the system.
Easy to Clean
- The smooth high-gloss surface cleans easily with soap and
water.
- Ideal system for food and drug facilities.
Low-Cost Installation
- Significant cost savings vs. conventional cement, molded
sections and mitered sections.
Fast and Easy
- At fitting locations, the fiber glass insert is wrapped around
the pipe fitting, the Proto PVC Fitting is applied over the insert
and then tacked or taped.
Wide Temperature Range
- For mechanical piping systems operating to 500°F (260°C)
Long Lasting
- Can be used more than once on retrofit projects, general
maintenance.
Excellent Thermal Value
- Low thermal conductivity value of 0.26 at 75°F (0.037
W/m2•°C) mean
temperature.
- Better thermal efficiency than conventional cement
fittings.
Resistant to Fungi and Bacteria
- Does not promote growth of fungi or bacteria.
