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 an electrically insulative polymer cover, and
a semi-conductive inner polymer layer. To complete
the system, we designed our fittings to ensure seamless
continuity with the shield. is creates electrical
continuity throughout the system. e FlashShield
system eliminates the manufacturer’s requirement
for direct bonding. With no o-rings or gaskets, the
reusable brass components provide a reliable metal-
to-metal gas-tight seal.
e FlashShield system is recognized by model
building codes throughout North America.
FLASHSHIELD
™
– SAFETY IN LAYERS, WITHOUT ADDITIONAL BONDING
FEATURES & BENEFITS:
• Electrically insulative polymer cover
• Metallically-shielded
• Fittings provide continuity with metal shield
• No manufacturer-required direct bonding
• No special routing requirements or restrictions
• First product to meet strict criteria of ICC-ES PMG LC1027
• Flexibility means quick and easy installations. FlashShield installs in
approximately 1/3 the time of rigid piping methods.
• Pre-marked by the foot, there’s no measuring, rigid pipe cutting or
threading. is 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 is UV and heat stable, and complies with requirements of ASTM
E84 25/50 index for flame and smoke.
