PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
FlashShield™ is CSA design certified to ANSI LC1
for “Fuel Gas Piping Systems Using Corrugated
Stainless Steel Tubing (CSST)” and ICC-ES PMG
LC1027 for protective jacketed CSST. CSST
supplies natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas
(LP gas) to appliances. Simple hand tools such
as tubing cutters, wrenches and the Jacket
Stripping Tool are all that are needed to work
with the FlashShield components. FlashShield is
a reliable, cost-effective system that can be
installed in all modes of construction: residential,
commercial and industrial; new construction and
retrofits.
FlashShield is a patent-pending metallically-
shielded flexible gas piping system designed to
create a lightning-resistant system. We started
with a unique layer of metal shield, which is
designed to dissipate heat and electricity. Then
we placed the shield between two jackets of
semi-conductive polymer. To complete the
system, we redesigned our fittings to ensure
seamless continuity with the shield. XR3 fittings
are designed with a patent pending feature that
contours the metal shield . This creates electrical
continuity throughout the system. The
FlashShield system eliminates the manufacturer’s
requirement for direct bonding. The XR3 fitting
requires minimal torque for easy fitting
installation. With no o-rings or gaskets, the
reusable brass components provide a reliable
metal-to-metal gas-tight seal.
Recognized as a fuel gas piping material,
FlashShield CSST listed to ANSI LC1 for “Fuel
Gas Piping Systems Using Corrugated Stainless
Steel Tubing (CSST)” and ICC-ES PMG LC1027
for protective jacketed CSST.
FLASHSHIELD
™
– SAFETY IN LAYERS, WITHOUT ADDITIONAL BONDING
The FlashShield system is recognized by model building codes
throughout North America.
FEATURES & BENEFITS:
• Metallically-shielded gas piping system.
• Metal shield layer dissipates electricity.
• New fittings provide continuity with metal shield.
• No manufacturer-required direct bonding.
• No special routing requirements or restrictions.
• Only product that meets strict criteria of ICC-ES PMG LC1027
• Flexibility means quick and easy installations. FlashShield installs up
to 70% faster than traditional piping methods.
• Pre-marked by the foot, there’s no measuring, rigid pipe cutting or
threading. This means less waste and fewer fittings.
• 75% fewer fittings in the average installation means a safer system,
less leak potential and reduced callbacks.
• FlashShield CSST is lightweight – 250 feet of 1/2" CSST weighs
approximately 50 pounds and can be easily transported and handled
on the job.
• Custom lengths of tubing and job-specific accessories for those large
and multi-family projects can be easily obtained by a simple
telephone call.
• Jacket complies with requirements of ASTM E84 25/50 index for
flame and smoke.
