System 636 Installation Methods

While in transit, pipe should be well secured and supported over the entire length and should never project unsecured

from the back of a trailer.

b) Prolonged Outdoor Exposure

Prolonged exposure of System 636 pipe to the direct rays of the sun will not damage the pipe. However, some mild discoloration may

take place in the form of a milky film on the exposed surfaces. This change in color merely indicates that there has been a harmless

chemical transformation at the surface of the pipe. A small reduction in impact strength could occur at the discolored surfaces but they

are of a very small order and are not enough to cause problems in field installation.

System 636 PVC and CPVC pipes are packaged in crates and wrapped in protective plastic film, which protects from UV and keeps the

pipe clean. Discoloration of exposed pipe can be avoided by shading it from the direct rays of the sun. This can be accomplished by

covering the stockpile or the crated pipe with a light colored opaque material such as canvas. If the pipe is covered, always allow for

the circulation of air through the pipe to avoid heat buildup in hot summer weather. Make sure that the pipe is not stored close to

sources of heat such as boilers, steam lines, engine exhaust outlets, etc.

(d) System 636 gas venting systems should not be painted. However if painted, only latex/waterbase paint shall be used and all product

markings must be either visible or accessible for visual inspection. Example, apply masking tape over product markings prior to

painting. The ability to pull-back on the masking tape will allow for future inspection.
