DHEC Preinsulated pipe end cap
Product features The preinsulated pipe end cap is a heatshrinkable part, manufactured from a molecular crosslinked polyolefin. It is designed to seal the annulus between carrier and outer pipe. The cap is coated with a specially developed adhesive inside both outlets. During installation, one outlet of the cap shrinks down onto the pipe jacket while the other outlet recovers onto the service pipe. During this process, the adhesive forms a permanent seal between the service pipe and the outer jacket.
Internal protection of insulation Factory installed, DHEC end caps protect the integrity of the thermal insulation during pipe transportation and storage. On installed preinsulated pipe systems the end caps prevent water vapour migration across the joint in the event of a pipe leak or insulation jacket failure. They confine insulation degradation to one pipe length or the pipe area. Versatility DHEC end caps are provided in several pipe sizes and/or insulation thicknesses to accommodate dimension variations of pipe and insulation.
Availability They are available from stock in a range of standard sizes covering most existing preinsulated pipe sizes. Economical DHEC end caps can be installed in minutes. Once in service, they prevent degradation of insulation material over long lengths of the pipe network, reducing repair costs.
