AMERON CORROSION-RESISTANT FIBERGLASS PIPING SYSTEMS
Ameron International, a worldwide supplier of corrosion-resistant

fiberglass piping systems, provides comprehensive solutions for a
broad spectrum of applications.
Bondstrand Industrial, Military

and Environmental Systems
Ameron fiberglass pipe can withstand higher
temperatures and pressures than ordinary
thermoplastic materials. That, together with
its corrosion and chemical resistance, makes
it particularly well-suited for general industrial
service and chemical processing applications.
Fiberglass pipe also provides environmental
protection benefits. In applications such as
secondary containment and waste handling,
it can eliminate the ground-water contamination
caused by corroded metal piping. Bondstrand
LD large-diameter piping is available in diameters through 144 inches (3600 mm).
Oilfield Line Pipe, Tubulars

and Well Screens
Together, Ameron and its subsidiary Centron
International offer a full line of fiberglass oilfield
line pipe, tubing, casing and sand-control well
screens. Piping is available in diameters from
1 to 40 inches, with service pressures as high
as 4000 psi and operating temperatures up to
302F (150C), depending on specifications.
Centron GRE well screens, which cost about
half as much as metal screens, come in 11 2
to 8-inch sizes and in single and pre-packed
versions. Bondstrand SSL (steel strip Laminate)
for demanding oil and gas service, including
subsea, provides both high pressure performance and corrosion resistance.
Dualoy Fuel Handling Systems

Ameron fuel handling systems provide piping
solutions for service stations, truck stops and
terminals. Rigid Dualoy 3000/L single-wall or
contained piping and the unique Dualoy
3000/LCX* coaxial design have proven themselves superior in performance and longevity to
both metallic and flexible alternatives. Each is
Underwriters Laboratories Listed for use in all
fuels, including methanol, ethanol and alcohol
blends. Dualoy products can be continuously
monitored with brine, vacuum or pressure
systems. Dualoy 3000/MCX piping is
designed for use at marinas.
*U.S. Patent No. 6,026,862, No. 5,725,920
Bondstrand Offshore Systems

Ameron supplies tough, lightweight, corrosionresistant, fiberglass-reinforced piping solutions
for a wide range of applications on offshore
drilling rigs and production platforms. For
fire water systems, new Bondstrand PSX
polysiloxane-phenolic resin piping using
Amerons patented technology provides
exceptional fire protection with very low smoke
and toxicity emissions. Other Bondstrand
products are used in a vari-ety of platform
applications, such as drain lines, process lines
and ballast piping. Electrical conductivity
available for all services.
U.S. Patent #5,736,619
Bondstrand Marine Systems

The corrosion resistance of Bondstrand
fiberglass piping makes it an excellent
solution for the problems presented by
highly aggressive marine environments.
Durable, lightweight Bondstrand marine
piping is used on vessels ranging from
super tankers to cruise ships to work boats
to FPSOs for handling everything from potable
water to seawater to steam condensate.
Products are Type Approved by ABS, the
USCG and other regulatory agencies
worldwide.

Guide Specifications
All fiberglass components of the system shall be supplied by the same manufacturer
and shall be assembled in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. The
fiberglass pipe shall be filament-wound epoxy per requirements of ASTM D2996 RTRP
11 FQ1-2331 and furnished in random 40' (34'-42') lengths.
Fittings will be manufactured to NBS PS 15-69 dimensions. Elbows shall have a smooth
interior with a minimum centerline radius of 1.5 times the pipe diameter. All fiberglass
piping system components shall be the same color and contain a UV resistant material.
Installation Procedures
Bondstrand 100 Stick Clip joining instructions

Using sandpaper, clean the inside of the pipe surfaces and the outside of the insert to be
bonded. Remove the dust. Apply a liberal quantity of adhesive to the inside of both pipe
joints to be assembled and to half of the internal sleeve. Be sure the cut ends of both the
pipe and the insert are coated. Insert the coated half of the insert into the end of one
pipe. Mark the location of the gap on the O.D. of the pipe. Apply adhesive to the outside
of the rest of the insert section. Push the next pipe onto the insert section. If necessary,
should pipe ends not be cut perfectly square, rotate pipe in order to assure that pipe
ends butt together over saw cut in insert. Clip one external sleeve over the excess
adhesive squeezed between the pipe ends. Clip a second external sleeve over the first
to close the remaining adhesive. The saw cuts of the sleeves are to be at least 90 from
each other. Follow the PSX34 installation instructions (and Product Data Sheet, FP735)
for curing the adhesive. Clamp ends of sleeves with hose clamps to hold in place while
adhesive cures.

Performance
Pipe designs to 450 psi (3.1 MPa) using an 8000 psi (41.2 MPa) hydrostatic design
stress in accordance with ASTM D2992 (B).
Continuous operating temperatures to 250F (121C).
Excellent corrosion resistance over a wide temperature range. See most recent
release of Bondstrand Corrosion Guide (FP132) for specific applications.
Weighs 16th as much as Sch. 40 steel.
Does not require thrust blocks at ambient temperatures when properly installed in
most soils.
Smooth inner liner (Hazen-Williams C = 150) produces extremely low frictional loss
for greater discharge and reduced pumping costs.
Low thermal conductivity (1100th of steel) minimizes heat losses.
Individual system components may not have the same ratings as the pipe. Refer
to the detailed product information for the specific components to determine the
pressure rating for the system as a whole.

The structural wall of fiberglass pipe shall have continuous glass fibers in a matrix of
aromatic amine cured epoxy resin.
The integral, reinforced resin-rich liner shall consist of C-glass and a resin/hardener
system identical to that of the structural wall, and shall have a 20 mil nominal
thickness. Non-reinforced pure resin-type corrosion barriers (liners) shall not be
allowed due to their potential for severe fracturing during transportation, installation
and operation of the pipe.
Pipe in 1 through 16-inch sizes shall be rated for a minimum of 165 psig at 250F. In
1 through 6-inch sizes the pipe shall have full vacuum capability at 70F, when
installed above ground with a safety factor of 3:1.
Pipe shall be manufactured according to ASTM D2996 specification for filamentwound Reinforced Thermosetting Resin Pipe (RTRP). When classified under
ASTM D2310, the pipe shall meet Type 1, Grade 1 and Class F (RTRP-11FE or W)
cell limits in 1 through 16-inch nominal pipe sizes.
Filament-wound epoxy fiberglass pipe shall be translucent to allow for inspection of
damage.
Pipe in 2 through 8-inch sizes shall be furnished in 30 or 40-ft. length to minimize
the number of field-bonded joints for rapid installation.
Standard fittings
construction
Fittings in 1 through 16-inch sizes shall be filament wound with a reinforced resinrich liner of 50 mil minimum thickness and of the same glass and resin type as the
pipe. Pipe, filament-wound fittings and adhesive shall, as an assembly, provide a
continuous liner throughout the system.
Compression-molded fittings in 2, 3, 4 and 6-inch nominal sizes may also be
allowed upon agreement between purchaser and manufacturer.

Location
Marina, California
Client
City of Monterey, California
Application
Process lines carrying sewage sludge, sludge gases and methane.
Pipe system
Approximately 15,000 feet of Bondstrand Series 2000 fiberglass pipe in 3 through

12-inch diameters and a total of over 3000 Series 2000 adhesive joined fittings and

Advantages
The contract provisions of this project left it to the contractors discretion to choose the
most suitable system meeting the operating requirements. Contractor determined that
the Bondstrand system would be more cost effective than the other principal
alternative: a combined system of glass-lined cast iron and unlined cast iron.
Ease of assembly
Because of the ease with which Bondstrand fiberglass flanges can be mounted on
pipe and fittings, contractor assembled ANSI-dimensioned fittings and pipe spools
in his own on-site fabrication shop.

Product
Bondstrand Series 2000 pipe, filament wound fittings, 4 (100 mm)
FP736 (3/97)
" In the trench, installer

uses a flapper sander
to prepare pipe end
for adhesive joint.
" Lengths of Bondstrand 2000 are bonded in the trench
and slipped inside the existing ductile iron pipe.
Pipe system
Approximately 1100 feet (350 m) of 4-inch diameter, Bondstrand Series 2000 pipe
and filament-wound fittings were installed beneath the busy streets of downtown
Nashville, Tennessee. Bondstrand 2000 replaces 6-inch ductile iron pipe in
condensate return lines. The failing ductile iron pipe had been in service for only three
years. The piping system will supply heat produced by a trash burning generating
plant to 39 major buildings in downtown Nashville. The existing ductile iron pipe has
deteriorated due to corrosion and scale build up. Digging costs to replace the
metallic piping with the same material would be prohibitive and extremely disruptive
because of its location in the congested downtown area. The problem was solved by
sliplining the ductile iron with Bondstrand 2000, taking advantage of Bondstrands
light weight and ease of installation.
With Bondstrand, the contractor was able to dig a small trench, assemble lengths
of pipe in the ditch and slip the 4-inch fiberglass pipe inside the 6-inch ductile iron.
Pipe was installed between 6:00 pm and 6:00 am to minimize the disruption to city
traffic.
Advantages
Corrosion resistance - Bondstrand is inherently resistant to corrosion and scale

build up. It exhibits excellent flow characteristics with a Hazen Williams rating of 150.
Ease of installation - With light weight fiberglass no heavy lifting equipment was
needed. The pipe was easily lowered into the small trench, bonded in the ditch and
slipped through the old piping system.
Cost savings - Using Bondstrand minimized the extensive digging needed to
replace the ductile iron, resulting in savings of time, money and disruption.
Technical support
At job start-up, Ameron Technical Service provided installation training and certification of crew members. This ensured that the proper techniques were utilized
during installation to provide a successful application in the least amount of time.

fiberglass pipe and fittings
ISO-9001
CERTIFICATED FIRM
Location
Al-Khobar, Saudi Arabia
Client
Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC)
Application
Water reject piping in third stage ejector condensers in ten desalination units.
FP401C (8/96)
The previously installed Cu-Ni pipe (left)

experienced severe corrosion failure,
especially at welds. Bondstrand corrosion
resistant piping systems (right) include a wide
variety of fittings, including reducers, lateral
tees and elbows in many angular configurations.
Pipe system
After approximately two years of service, the existing 100 mm and 150 mm
Cu-Ni (90/10) piping had begun to fail in this service. The medium, seawater
at 50C containing dissolved gases including chlorine, air and carbon dioxide,
was sufficiently acidic (pH 5.8-6.2) to cause severe internal corrosion to the
metallic piping, resulting in heavy leakage in general and collapse when the
piping was subjected to vacuum.
Bondstrand Series 2000 fiberglass reinforced pipe was chosen to replace the
old Cu-Ni lines due to its corrosion resistance and ease of installation.
Advantages
Corrosion resistance - Pipe and fittings easily withstand the acidity of the
medium. Bondstand replacement piping has already served nearly twice as
long as original metallic piping without showing any signs of corrosion.
Ease of installation - System was easily field fabricated by an installation
crew from Ameron. The crew was able to complete the installation for each
unit in only one day.
Technical support
Ameron provided technical support to the client during all phases of

the project.

ISO-9001
CERTIFICATED FIRM
FP727 (11/96)
Far right and below: Process piping lines carry

sludge and gases at wastewater treatment
plant.
Pipe system
Bondstrand Series 2000 pipe and filament-wound fittings and flanges in 2- to 14inch diameters are used for process lines in this wastewater treatment plant. The
piping systems are used for sludge, digester gas, methane gas, chlorine gas
vacuum and solution, alum, foul air and aeration air. Bondstrand's resistance to
both external and internal corrosion made it an excellent choice to handle these
services in this marine environment.
Bondstrand was selected over other materials such as glass-lined cast iron or
316L Schedule 40 stainless steel. In addition to providing an economical material
solution for carrying corrosive media, its light weight and easy assembly reduced
installation costs over these other piping materials.
Advantages
Chemical resistance - Bondstrand withstands the rigors of aggressive chemicals.

The corrosion resistance also provides excellent weatherability.
Ease of installation - Epoxy bonded joining system saves time and money. ANSI
flanged fittings provide a familiar joining system and simple joining to traditional
equipment and materials. Lightweight fiberglass, approximately 15 the weight of
traditional materials, can be moved without heavy lifting equipment.
Cost savings - Bondstrand Series 2000 pipe and fittings provide the life
expectancy required at about 20% less cost than glass-lined cast iron and
approximately 30% less cost than stainless steel.

Puente Hills Landfill

Flare Station Yard Piping
ISO-9001
CERTIFICATED FIRM
Location
Whittier, California
Client
County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County
Application
LFG at 125 psi and 160F operating temperature
FP720 (9/96)
Far right: High speed blower moves landfill gas

through Bondstrand pipe into leachate collection
tank, below concrete slab.
Near right: Flanged Bondstrand pipe at end of run
permits future expansion as need arises.
Below: Moisture separator removes

leachate from gas.
Pipe system
Bondstrand Series 2000 pipe and filament-wound fittings, prefabricated in 6- to

12-inch diameters were used. Landfill gas contains methane and high concentrations of hydrogen sulfite (H2S), and water at 150 to 170F. The H2S mixes with
water vapor, forming strong sulfuric acid in the piping system. Carbon steel can
survive only 3 to 4 years in this service. Plastic piping (PVC, CPVC and HDPE)
was eliminated as a choice for this application due to temperature and pressure
limitations around 140F. Fiberglass pipe also provides better UV resistance than
PVC or CPVC.
While Schedule 10 or 20 304L stainless steel can provide the desired 30-year life
expectancy in this service, its material cost is about four times that of fiberglass
and the installed cost would be approximately six times that of fiberglass.
Ameron Bondstrand 2000 also saved installation time. The difficult welding
process of stainless steel takes 3-4 times longer than epoxy bonding of fiberglass.
As a result the installation took less than four days. The system was then field
tested at 225 psig for 10 cycles.
Advantages
Chemical resistance - Bondstrand withstands the rigors of aggressive chemicals.

The corrosion resistance also provides excellent weatherability.
Ease of installation - Epoxy bonded joining system saved time and money. The
installation was completed in four days, eliminating the difficult and costly welding
required for stainless steel. Lightweight fiberglass can be moved without heavy
lifting equipment.
Cost savings - Bondstrand 2000 pipe and fittings provided the life expectancy
required at 14 the material cost of stainless steel. Installed cost was 16 the cost of
stainless steel.
Technical support
Ameron provided installation training and technical support to the client.

Support spacing
Recommended maximum support spacing for Bondstrand 2000MP pipe at various

operating temperatures. Span recommendations are valid for normal horizontal piping
support arrangements, a compromise between continuous spans and simple spans, but
include no provision for weights such as fittings, flanges, etc. or thrust from branches,
turns, etc. Span recommendations are calculated for a maximum long-term deflection of
12 inch to ensure good appearance and adequate drainage. Values are based on 12 inch
deflection at midspan for fluid specific gravity = 1.0. For continuous spans, increase
values by 20%. For end or single spans, decrease values by 20%.

The piping system in sizes 2 through 10 must comply with MIL-P-28584B and U.S.
Federal Regulations 21CFR 175.105 and 21CFR 177.2280. Piping will be manufactured
according to ASTM D2996 for RTRP. When classified under ASTM D2310, the pipe shall
meet Type I, Grade I and Class F (RTRP-11FE) cell limits in 2 through 10 nominal pipe
sizes. Piping shall be listed for Commercial Hot service by NSF under Standard 61 Drinking Water System Components.

Materials
Pipe Construction
Filament-wound fiberglass reinforced epoxy resin pipe shall be Bondstrand 2000 MP
as manufactured by Ameron Fiberglass Pipe Group, or approved equal. The integral
reinforced corrosion barrier shall have a nominal 20 mil thickness, and be constructed
with the same epoxy resin as the pipe structural wall. Non-reinforced corrosion barriers
shall not be allowed due to potential for fracturing during lower temperatures, transportation and installation.

requests them in sizes 2 through 6
to reduce field labor assembly time in those sections of the system where longer pipe
joints may be employed. Additionally, the pipe manufacturer will provide pipe joints with
the spigot ends already prepared to reduce field labor time.
Pressure rating
Aromatic amine cured epoxy resin piping shall be suitable for use at 125 psi
up to 250F.
Fittings
It is important to maintain compatibility of fittings, piping and adhesives to ensure that

the system performs as specified. Therefore, the pipe, fittings and adhesive shall be
supplied by the same manufacturer.
Fittings in 2 through 10 sizes shall be filament-wound with a reinforced resin-rich liner
of equal or greater thickness than the pipe liner and shall be manufactured with the
same resin type as the pipe.
Only filament-wound fittings and flanges will be used. Compression molded, contact
molded, spray up or hand lay-up fittings shall not be allowed.
Testing

Inspection and testing of the piping will be performed in accordance with the requirements of ANSI B31.1. Hydrostatic testing of all installed piping shall be performed with
water at 112 times the design pressure of the lowest rated piping system component.
The RTRP manufacturer will provide test and repair procedures in the event field repairs
are required.
Installation

burial, anchoring, guiding and supporting shall be in accordance with manufacturers
recommendations.
Piping system installers and fitters will be trained by a direct factory employee of the
piping system manufacturer and certified by the trainer prior to system assembly in
the field.

Wastewater Clarifier Inlets

Location
Detroit, Michigan
Client
City of Detroit
Application
Bondstrand pipe was used to modify over 1500 inlets in the City of Detroit Waste Water
Treatment Plant. Modifications involved elevating the level at which mixed liquor enters
the clarifier and reducing the turbulence of the incoming liquor. To do so, a system which
could connect to existing lines was designed. Elliptical baffles to reduce turbulence were
fitted to 12-foot lengths of 16-inch Bondstrand Series 3000 fiberglass pipe, while the
other ends were fitted with flanges.
ISO-9001
CERTIFICATED FIRM
FP172D (1/97)
Piping system
Sixteen-inch diameter Bondstrand Series 3000
Advantages
Modification may have saved the City of Detroit over $27 million by raising the efficiency
of the clarifiers as much as 30% and by eliminating the need for additional clarifiers to be
built. The pipe itself was also instrumental in reducing costs. Its light weight helped keep
the overall weight of the modified inlets down. As a result, major structural modifications
in the clarifiers to support the inlets were not necessary. Fiberglass epoxy resin pipe
resists corrosion from mixed liquor and has an indefinite service life.

Underground Chilled
Water Lines
Location
Spring, Texas
Client
Compaq Computer Corporation
Application
Underground lines carrying chilled water at 150 psi. The client had originally
specified a competing brand of fiberglass pipe which used an adhesive joint.
However, the competitors adhesive joint could not pass the required pressure
test. The client then turned to Ameron, who was able to offer quick delivery of a
mechanically-joined system. Moreover, Amerons specialty fittings shop in
Burkburnett, Texas worked directly with the contractor to speed custom fabrication of a number of unusual spool assemblies.
FP450B (3/96)
Fittings for Bondstrand Series 3000

are manufactured in an extremely
wide variety of configurations. Seen
here are 16-inch tees with 6-inch
flanged branches, 45 elbows with
Pronto-Lock II ends, and a 4-foot
long nipple with Pronto-Lock II ends.
Pipe system
Bondstrand Series 3000 using Pronto-Lock mechanical joint in 3- and 6-inch sizes
and Pronto-Lock II mechanical jont in 10-, 12- and 16-inch sizes.
Flanged spools and fittings with flanged reducing outlets were also used. Total
installed length of the piping was approximately 5,000 feet.
Advantages
Quick Installation - The speed of delivery of the pipe from the plant, its light
weight and the rapid joining offered by the Pronto-Lock and Pronto-Lock II
mechanical joints were of particular importance as the client turned to Ameron
late in the project.
Light Weight - Pipe could be handled manually without using cranes or heavy
lifting equipment: sixteen-inch diameter Bondstrand 3000 weighs under 10 lb./ft.
compared to 83 lb./ft. for Schedule 40 steel.
Predictable Joining - Pronto-Lock and Pronto-Lock II offer positive, predictable,
mechanical joining without reliance on field-cured adhesives. Joints can be made
up in minutes.
Versatility - The Pronto-Lock II joint accommodates up to 2 deflection, allowing
flexibility in piping system layout.

General considerations
Bondstrand Series 3200 is used for buried fire protection lines and general
industrial service. It is available with a Listing Mark from Underwriters Laboratories,
Inc. and Underwriters Laboratories of Canada and has been approved by Factory
Mutual. When UL-Listed or FM-approved product is desired, designate it as such
by identifying it as Bondstrand Series 3200/L or Bondstrand Series 3200/FM.
For Listed service, the installation must be done in accordance with National Fire
Protection Association No. 24, Private Fire Service Mains. NFPA No. 24 covers
the general details of yard piping for fire protection systems. The installation details
and recommendations contained in this publication are intended to supplement
those of NFPA No. 24 with which both the design and installation must comply.
Fiberglass pipe is lightweight, corrosion resistant, economical and has excellent
hydraulic characteristics. A very significant advantage of Bondstrand Series 3200 pipe
systems is the elimination of the need for concrete thrust block or mechanical tie rod
assemblies with the single exception of CIPE crossovers which are covered below
under HYDRANT CONNECTIONS.
Fiberglass pipe is somewhat sensitive to impact and should not be subjected to point
loadings. It is important that pipe be inspected for impact damage to both the pipe and
the end prior to installation.
Specific instruction regarding the assembly of adhesive-bonded joints in 2 through
8 inch sizes and Pronto-Lock II joints in 8-inch sizes and above are contained in the
appropriate publications.
Burial recommendations
Design
The structural design of a buried conduit requires calculations of the probable
maximum load, determination of the inherent strength of the pipe and selection of
field bedding and backfill conditions that insure that the supporting strength of the
installed pipe will be adequate.
ISO-9001
Bondstrand pipe is considered as a flexible conduit having the ability to deflect as

it is loaded, thereby transmitting the load to the side fill in the same manner as
corrugated metal pipe. The load-carrying capacity of Bondstrand Series 3200 pipe
is exceptional because of its ability to redistribute crush, shear and beam loads
through deflection.
The following table lists recommended cover heights for Bondstrand Series 3200
pipe installed in a trench under conditions as noted.
CERTIFICATED FIRM
FP267C (3/99)
(cont.)
As a practical measure, it is recommended that a minimum earth cover of 3 feet

with H-20 live loads be observed. For special installations outside these limits,
consult Ameron Fiberglass Systems. Sleeving details are covered under

1) These values are based on obtaining 85% minimum compaction of the side fill material prior to backfilling
the remainder of the trench.
2) Modulus of soil reaction (E') using sound earth or granular soils compacted to 85-95% Proctor, 40-70%
relative density is 1000 psi.
Excavation
1) The excavation shall be made to allow the pipe to be laid to the grades and
alignments shown on the plans.
2) The narrowest practical trench width that will allow proper densification of the
pipe zone backfill shall be maintained with vertical sidewalls from the foundation to
at least the top of the pipe, except that a minimum trench width equal to the inside
diameter of the pipe plus twelve (12) inches shall be maintained. The maximum
trench width from the foundation to the top of the pipe shall be the inside diameter
of the pipe plus twenty-four (24) inches.
3) Beneath vehicular traffic, the height of earth cover over the top of the installed
pipe shall not be less than three (3) feet unless suitable methods are used to
protect the pipe.
4) Foundations shall be firm, but not hard, and shall consist of sound earth1 or
granular soil2, free from stones or lumps exceeding one (1) inch in greatest
dimension that might bear against the pipe. Suitable foundations may be prepared
by overexcavating the trench for not less than one (1) inch and backfilling to
subgrade with loose bank run material, graded uniformly in one plane for the full
length of the pipe. Slight overexcavation should be provided at the location of each
bell so that the pipe barrel rests on the bottom of the trench. Foundations shall
provide uniform support under the haunches of the pipe along the full length of
each pipe section.
5) When the excavation is in soft or wet, unstable soils that will not provide
sufficient support for the pipe, the trench shall be overexcavated at least six
(6) inches and backfilled to one (1) inch below subgrade with solid granular soil
compacted to at least 85-95% Proctor (40-70% relative density). The subgrade
shall then be completed as described in 4. The method described in NFPA No. 24
8-4.3 under Exception is not acceptable for fiberglass pipe.
6) When solid rock, hardpan or other hard foundation is encountered during
excavation, the trench shall be overexcavated at least six (6) inches and backfilled
to one (1) inch below subgrade with solid granular soil compacted to at least
85-95% Proctor (40-70% relative density). The subgrade shall then be completed
as described in 4.
1) Most native soils, with the exception of highly organic, spongy soils and fat, highly plastic expansive clays.
2) Sand with a maximum particle size of 14 inch or gravel with a minimum grain size of 14 inch, or pea gravel or
crushed rock mixed with sand.
(cont.)
Pipe laying
Assemble the pipe in accordance with the appropriate instructions for the joining
system being used.
On grades exceeding 10%, the pipe should be laid uphill.
In order to insure against line movement in the ditch, place a small quantity of select
backfill (no rocks or heavy clods) carefully around the pipe after each joint is laid and
tamp it thoroughly around the bottom of the pipe. Wear leather gloves when making up
the threads by hand. Although the parts are carefully deflashed in the plant, some
sharp, undressed edges may remain.
Temporary thrust blocking consisting of

floor jacks and wooden timber should
be used during hydrotesting to prevent
excessive pipe movement and possible
shear or bending failures. Point
loadings on pipe or fittings should be
avoided by means of wooden block
contoured to bear on pipe or fittings.
When work is not in progress, cap the pipe ends to prevent entry of debris, rodents and
the like.
Thrust blocks
As noted under GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS, Bondstrand Series 3200 pipe systems do not
require thrust blocking or tie rod harnesses as all of the pipe and fitting connections are
capable of taking the full axial load imposed by internal pressure with a minimum safety
factor 4:1. Prudence, however, dictates that, where a change in direction occurs close
to a large positive displacement pump, the fitting be thrust blocked to prevent racking
of the line when the pump cycles. In every case, the design, location and placement of
thrust blocks must comply with NFPA No. 24 and any local authority having jurisdiction. Typical thrust block details are shown in Figure 1.

Fig. 1. Thrust blocking at fittings
Backfill
1) Backfill materials shall be so placed that the pipe will not be displaced or damaged.
Materials placed as pipe zone backfill shall be free of stones or lumps exceeding one
(1) inch in greatest dimension, and shall be so placed as to prevent the formation of
voids.
2) Pipe zone backfill preparation shall be specified along the entire reach of the
pipeline as shown on the plans and the drawings. Pipe zone backfill shall consist of
sound earth or granular soil free of vegetation that might leave voids upon decomposition. Pipe zone backfill shall be carefully packed and compacted to the applicable
dimensions and relative compactions specified.
The requirements for pipe zone backfill preparation shall be determined on the basis of
the local native soil conditions and earth and traffic load magnitudes at the pipe zone
depth so that vertical ring deflection will be limited to 5% of the nominal pipe diameter.
In general, the pipe zone backfill shall be placed immediately after laying the pipe,
provided the pipe is true to line and grade.
(cont.)
3) The backfill shall be blended sufficiently to secure the best practicable degree of
compaction and stability.
Compaction may be performed by mechanical or hand tamping methods or by
hydraulic methods, except in the following cases:
a)
b)
Where soils are clayey or silty and would impede free drainage, hydraulic
methods shall not be used.
Free-draining granular soils may be compacted by hydraulic methods with or
without the aid of surface or internal vibration as required to achieve specific
compactions.
Care shall be taken during compaction to prevent displacement of the pipe due to
floating or shifting, and to prevent hydrostatic or impact damage to the pipe and
foundation. Avoid using heavy mechanical tamping or rolIing equipment directly over
the top of the pipe as this might cause excessive reduction of the vertical diameter of
the installed pipe until a minimum of twenty-four (24) inches of earth cover has been
placed.
4) Backfill above the pipe zone backfill1 shall not be placed until conformance with
specified relative compactions of pipe zone backfill materials has been confirmed.
1)
Shall comprise that portion of the backfill surrounding the installed pipe extending after compact ion from
the foundation to a level six (6) inches above the top of the pipe.
Attention is drawn to 8-9.2 of NFPA No. 24. Pipe between joints must be covered with
a minimum of 24 inches of earth cover leaving the pipe joints and fittings exposed until
after hydrotesting.
Pressure testing
Air testing
Low pressure (5-10 psi) air testing has been used successfully as a low cost preliminary
test to determine joint integrity. Pinched or missing O-rings will normally result in
audible leakage at these pressures.
It should be pointed out that an air test is not considered a substitute for the final
hydrostatic test; it is merely an expedient means to evaluate the seating of the O-rings
that may eliminate the need for costly cleanup and/or Line drainage should repairs be
necessary.
Air testing at any pressure can be dangerous and should be conducted carefully with
experienced personnel only. High pressure air (compressed gas) testing is extremely
dangerous and should never be used. Flammable or explosive gases should never be
used for pressure testing.
Hydrotesting
It is advantageous to test a pipe line in short sections of about 1,000 feet. This is particularly true at the beginning of an installation as it gives the contractor and all concerned
a check of the initial installation methods. Additionally, testing in short sections permits
one section to be backfilled to grade while the installation continues on to the next
section. Installing a system in its entirety before testing may allow errors to be carried
through the whole job with the result that corrective repairs may be very expensive and
time consuming.
Venting air from the line is of major importance. As the pipeline is filled with water, the
turbulent flow of the rushing water causes air to become entrained. As the water
settles, the air collects at high points and becomes entrapped in the pipeline. This air
must be allowed to escape by using an air vent at the highest part of the line. Lost air
must be replaced by more water so that the line is completely filled with water before it
is pressurized.
The line should be filled with water 24 hours before testing and should be held at a
nominal pressure (30 to 50 psi) during this period. At this time, the Pronto-Lock II
connections should be inspected for leakage as any pinched or missing O-rings will
leak at this pressure. Note that a pinched O-ring will often seal at 250 psi, but leak at
30 psi. Before the line is brought up to total test pressure, all air vents should be opened
and any remaining air purged from the system.
Pressure testing
(cont.)
Bondstrand Series 3200 piping systems should be tested in accordance with NFPA
No. 24.
1) The following paragraphs defining permitted leakage are reproduced from NFPA
No. 24, Section 8-9.3.
a) (8-9.3.1*) All new yard piping shall be tested hydrostatically at not less than 200
pounds per square inch (13.8 bars) pressure for two hours, or at 50 pounds per
square inch (3.4 bars) in excess of the maximum static pressure when the maximum
static pressure is in excess of 150 pounds per square inch (10.3 bars). (See A-8-9.8.1)
b) (8-9.3.2*) The amount of leakage in piping shall be measured at the specified test
pressure by pumping from a calibrated contained, For new pipe, the amount of
leakage at the joints shall not exceed two quarts per hour (1.89l/h) per 100 gaskets or
joints irrespective of pipe diameter.
c) (8-9.3.3) The amount of allowable leakage specified in 8-9.3.2 may be increased by
one fluid ounce per inch valve diameter per hour (30ml/25mm/h) for each metal
seated valve isolating the test section. If dry barrel hydrants are tested with the main
valve open causing the hydrants to be under pressure, an additional five ounces per
minute (150ml/min) leakage is permitted for each hydrant.
2) New pipe laid with rubber gasketed joints should, if the workmanship is satisfactory,
have no leakage at the joints. Unsatisfactory amounts of leakage usually result from
twisted, pinched or cut gaskets. However, some leakage might result from small
amounts of grit or small gasket imperfections. The amount of leakage at the joints
should not exceed two quarts per hour per 100 joints, irrespective of pipe diameter.
The leakage should be distributed over all joints. If such leakage occurs at a few joints,
the installation should be considered unsatisfactory and necessary repairs made.
3) Tests shall be made by the contractor in the presence of the inspector of the
authority having jurisdiction or of the representative of the owner. If the completed
systems fail, the following check points may be helpful in locating leaks:
a) A hydrant valve held open by a piece of rag, wood or some other foreign matter. When
the valve is held slightly open, line pressure will be relieved through a hydrant drain.
b) Dirt or foreign material in the O-ring groove.
c) Pipe not sufficiently covered in the trench.
d) Fittings and valves in the test section not sufficiently blocked.
e) Air in line (no relief valve).
f) Leakage through valve at the end of test section.
g) Valve bonnet leaking.
h) Packing on valves and wet-barrel hydrants leaking.
i) Test pump leaking, check valves as well as gate valve.
j) Curves not sufficiently covered in the trench.
k) Testing overly long sections of pipeline.
l) Insufficient saturation time (less than 24 hours).
m) Ruptured pipe that has cracked or blown out.
n) Broken fittings.
o) Faulty accessory equipment such as valves, fittings, hydrants, saddles, relief valves.
p) Faulty test gauge.
q) Test pump suction line drawing air.
Miscellaneous details
Water pits and manholes

Where water pits are used, pipe penetrations will be necessary though the concrete
wall of the water pit. Figure 2 shows a typical wall penetration. Where differential
settling may occur, a Pronto-Lock II joint should be located within 2 to 3 feet of the
penetration. Severe applications should leave a second Pronto-Lock II joint as close to
the first as possible. The 2 deflection capability of the joints will enable them to
function as limited flexible connectors. As a guide to sizing the penetration opening,
Pronto-Lock II coupling dimensions are given on the next page.

Sleeved road crossings

Fiberglass pipe should be sleeved at all railroad crossings. As noted under BURIAL
RECOMMENDATIONS. Bondstrand Series 3200 pipe is designed for H-20 live loads with
3-ft cover. However, where frequent heavy truck traffic can be expected, it may be
prudent to sleeve the pipe. Yard piping under crossroads does not require sleeving.
Pipe should be protected against excessive beam deflection by means of centralizers
and from bearing against the end of the casing with Link-Seal* or other elastomeric
bearing materials. Where differential settling may occur, the same steps as described
under WATER PITS may be followed. Figure 4 below shows typical sleeving details.

Hydrant connections
Hydrant connections may be made by means of flanges (where permitted) or by
Bondstrand Series 3200 cast iron pipe crossovers. CIPE crossovers will connect to
gasketed bell or mechanical joint cast iron pipe and must always be restrained.
CIPE crossovers are available for adhesive-bonded pipe in 6-inch sizes and below.

transition. For 8-16 inch CIPE
crossovers, a 360 saddle made from
split pipe sections must be placed
between the fiberglass pipe and the
retaining clamp; the clamp must be
tightened only to a snug fit. The clamp
must not grip the pipe, but only bear
against the Pronto-Lock II bell. For 3-6
inch CIPE crossovers, a 360 saddle is
not necessary. Here, too, the retaining
clamp should be tightened only to a
snug fit and should bear against the
raised shoulder of the crossover that
has been adhesive-bonded to the
fiberglass pipe.

Bending
Bondstrand Series 3200 pipe is somewhat flexible. Gradual changes in direction
may be made as long as the minimum bending radius is not exceeded. In
8 through 16-inch sizes, the 2 deflection capability of the Pronto-Lock II joint
decreases the distance required for a given change in direction. The guidelines
shown below should be followed for making gradual changes in direction.

1) Span recommendations are based on pipe filled with fresh water (S.G. = 1.0) and include no provision
for weight from valves, flanges, or other heavy objects. Span recommendations are calculated for a
maximum long-term deflection of 12 inch to ensure good appearance and adequate drainage. Fully
continuous spans may be used with support spacing up to 20% greater for this deflection: in simple
spans, support spacing should be 20% less.

1) Span recommendations include no provision for weights (fittings,valves, flanges, etc.) or thrusts (branches,
turns, etc.).
2) Span recommendations are calculated for a maximum long-term deflection of 1/2 inch to ensure good
3) Continuous spans are defined as interior (not end) spans that are uniform in length and free from structural
rotation at the supports. Single spans are supported only at the ends and are hinged or free to rotate at the
supports.
Field testing
Bondstrand 4000 piping systems are designed for hydrostatic testing at 150% of
rated operating pressure. Pneumatic testing is not recommended.

Pipe construction
The structural wall of Bondstrand 4000 pipe in 2 through 16-inch sizes shall have
continuous glass fibers wound in a matrix of aromatic amine cured epoxy resin.
The integral reinforced resin-rich liner shall consist of C-glass and a resin/hardener
system identical to that of the structural wall, and shall have a 50-mil nominal
thickness. Non-reinforced pure resin-type corrosion barriers (liners) shall not be
allowed due to their potential for severe fracturing during transportation, installation
and operation of the pipe.
Pipe in 2 through 16-inch sizes shall be rated for a minimum of 150 psig at 200F.
In 2 through 6-inch sizes the pipe shall have full vacuum capability at 70F.
Pipe shall be manufactured according to ASTM D2996 Specification for filamentwound Reinforced Thermosetting Resin Pipe (RTRP). When classified under
ASTM D2310, the pipe shall meet Type 1, Grade 1 and Class F (RTRP-11FE or
-11FW) cell limits in 2 through 16-inch nominal pipe sizes.
Filament-wound epoxy fiberglass pipe shall be translucent to allow for inspection of
damage.
Pipe in 2 through 8-inch sizes shall be furnished in 30 or 40-ft random lengths to
minimize the number of field-bonded joints for rapid installation.
Standard fittings
construction
Fittings in 2 through 16-inch sizes shall be filament wound with a reinforced resinrich liner of 50-mil nominal thickness and of the same glass and resin type as the
pipe. When properly installed with Ameron adhesive and lined filament-wound
Bondstrand fittings, Series 4000 piping systems shall provide the equivalent of a
continuous resin-rich liner throughout.
Compression-molded fittings in 2, 3, 4 and 6-inch nominal sizes may also be
allowed upon agreement between purchaser and manufacturer. Contact-molded,
spray-up or hand-layup fittings shall not be allowed.
Pipe and fittings shall be joined using a bell x straight spigot joint with a 0.5 taper
and pipe stop inside the bell to allow precise makeup.
Workmanship
Testing
Samples of pipe and couplings shall be tested at random, based on standard

quality control practices to determine conformance of the materials to American
Society for Testing and Materials guidelines for testing fiberglass pipe products:
ASTM D1599, D2105, D2925, D2992A or D2992B.

1) Span recommendations are intended for normal horizontal piping support

arrangements (a compromise between continuous spans and simple
spans), but include no provision for weights (fittings,valves, flanges, etc.)
or thrusts (branches, turns, etc.).
2) Span recommendations are calculated for a maximum long-term
deflection of 1/2 inch to ensure good appearance and adequate drainage.
3) Fully continuous spans may be used with support spacing up to 20%
greater for this deflection: in simple spans, support spacing should be
20% less.
Field testing
Bondstrand 5000 piping systems are designed for hydrostatic field testing at 150%
of rated operating pressure. Pneumatic testing is not recommended.
Pipe construction
The structural wall of fiberglass pipe in 2 through 16-inch sizes shall have continuous
glass fibers wound at a 543/4 helical angle in a matrix of premium vinyl ester resin.
The integral, reinforced resin-rich liner shall consist of Nexus veil and a
resin/hardener system identical to that of the structural wall, and shall have a 50-mil
nominal thickness. Non-reinforced pure resin-type corrosion barriers (liners) shall not
be allowed due to their potential for severe fracturing during transportation,
installation and operation of the pipe.
Pipe in 2 through 16-inch sizes shall be rated for a minimum of 150 psig at 200F. In
2 through 8-inch sizes the pipe shall have full vacuum capability at 70F, when
installed above ground with a safety factor of 3:1.
Pipe shall be manufactured according to ASTM D2996 specification for filamentwound Reinforced Thermosetting Resin Pipe (RTRP). When classified under ASTM
D2310, the pipe shall meet Type 1, Grade 2 and Class E (RTRP-12ED) cell limits in
2 through 16-inch nominal pipe sizes.
Filament-wound vinyl ester fiberglass pipe shall be gray.
Pipe in 2 through 8-inch sizes shall be furnished in 30-ft length to minimize the
number of field-bonded joints for rapid installation.
Standard fittings
construction
Fittings in 2 through 16-inch sizes shall be filament wound with a reinforced resin-rich
liner of equal or greater thickness than the pipe liner and of the same glass and resin
type as the pipe.
Compression-molded fittings in 2, 3, 4 and 6-inch nominal sizes may also be allowed
upon agreement between purchaser and manufacturer.
Contact-molded, spray-up or hand-layup fittings shall not be allowed. Pipe and fittings
shall be joined using a straight spigot by socket with a 0.5 taper angle and a pipe
stop inside the socket to allow precise makeup.
Workmanship
Testing
Samples of pipe and couplings shall be tested at random, based on standard quality
control practices to determine conformance of the materials to American Society for
Testing of Materials guidelines for testing fiberglass pipe products: ASTM D1599,
D2105, D2925, D2992A or D2992B.

Application
Salt water cooling system
FP709 (7/96)
No-weld installation and light weight made

Bondstrand Series 5000 pipe the ideal
choice for this tight installation in the
basement of a New York City office building.
Using Bondstrand reduced the number of
supports needed and lifting equipment
required to get the pipe in place.
Pipe system
Bondstrand Series 5000 pipe and filament-wound fittings in 10-, 12-, and 14-inch
diameters replaced rubber lined carbon steel pipe in the salt water cooling water
system. The original system, in place 10 years, showed evidence of bad exterior
corrosion. The installation of more efficient chillers required higher flow rates. The
engineers took the opportunity to replace the existing rubber-lined piping with
Ameron fiberglass pipe.
Ameron fiberglass pipe also afforded no-weld installation. In the tight spaces of
the enclosed basement, this provided a significant advantage.
The developer and engineer are very satisfied with the Bondstrand pipe.
Advantages
Corrosion resistance - Bondstrand pipe and fittings were chosen for excellent
resistance to salt water corrosion both inside and outside of the pipe.
Ease of installation - The light weight of Bondstrand piping saved on supports
needed and made installation possible in tight spaces in the New York City
building. No-weld installation was a significant advantage in the tight, enclosed
space of the basement.
Increased flow rates result in cost savings - Bondstrand piping provided higher
flow rates than the rubber lined steel material it replaced. The higher flow rates, in
conjunction with the high efficiencies of the chillers, reduced the costs of running
the machines.
Technical support
Ameron provided installation training and technical support to the client.

Pipe system
Bondstrand Series 5000 pipe and filament-wound fittings in 6- to 12-inch diameters

and Bondstrand LD in 18- to 24-inch diameters are used for the HVAC cooling
tower piping in these aircraft assembly hangers. To prevent scale build up inside
such HVAC equipment as boilers, chillers and heat exchangers, various scale
removing chemical agents are added to the HVAC water circulation. The chemicals
which attack metallic oxides and other scaling minerals in the process also attack
traditional metallic piping, such as carbon steel, causing rapid deterioration.
Higher priced exotic materials, such as 304L stainless steel, would prove
prohibitively expensiveup to 4 times the costin a project such as this where pipe
sizes up to 24" in diameter are used. Delivery time was also a factor. The 304L
stainless steel delivery time would run approximately four to five months versus the
normal four to five week delivery of Bondstrand.
Advantages
Chemical resistance - Bondstrand withstands the chemical agents used to

prevent scale build-up in the piping.
Ease of installation - Epoxy bonded joining system saves time and money.
Prefabricated spools expedited installation. Lightweight fiberglass, approximately 15
the weight of traditional materials, can be moved without heavy lifting equipment.
Cost savings - Bondstrand Series 5000 pipe and fittings eliminated the costly
welding process necessary for 304L stainless steel. Prefabricated fiberglass spools
reduced installation time.

Performance
Bondstrand Series 7000 fiberglass pipe, fittings and flanges incorporate high-strength
conductive filaments to prevent accumulation and discharge of potentially dangerous
levels of static electrical charges. Series 7000 piping systems are made electrically
continuous by using a conductive adhesive in the adhesive-bonded joint and for
mounting flanges. Accumulated charges are dissipated from the fiberglass pipe system
by stainless steel cables embedded in fiberglass grounding saddles. The grounding
saddles are adhesive bonded to the pipe at appropriate locations to assure resistance to
ground is less than one MEG OHM.
System rating of 150 psig at 210F (10 bar at 99C).
Composition
Pipe: Filament-wound fiberglass reinforced epoxy resin pipe with conductive filaments in
the pipe wall.
Fittings: Wide range of filament-wound epoxy resin fittings reinforced with fiberglass
strands and conductive veils employing Quick-Lock adhesive joint or flanged ends.
Flanges: Filament-wound epoxy reinforced with fiberglass strands and conductive
filaments.
Blind flanges: Injection molded nonconductive epoxy in 2 through 12-inch (50 to
300 mm) sizes.

Static Electricity
Generation and
Accumulation
Static electricity accumulation is most likely to be a problem in pipes conveying nonconducting fluids at high velocities (less than 1000 pico-Siemens per meter). Measurable
amounts of electricity can be generated in the fluid when the flow velocity exceeds 9
ft/sec in fiberglass pipe and 20 ft/sec in metallic systems. Filtration units and valves
typically experience the highest rate of static electricity accumulation when high flow
rates occur. Charge densities are affected by the conductivity of the fluid, the pipe and
the filter media. Depending on the media, flow through filters generally tends to give rise
to charge densities 5 to 1000 times greater than flow through unrestricted pipes.
Pipe Lengths
Bondstrand pipe is produced

in different lengths depending
on pipe size and location of
manufacture. Pipe can be cut
to specified lengths at the
factory. Consult your Ameron
representative.

Span recommendations are intended for normal horizontal piping support arrangements, a compromise
between continuous spans and simple spans, but include no provision for weight such as fittings, valves,
flanges, etc. or thrust from branches and turns. Fully continuous spans may be installed with support spacing
up to 20% greater than values shown for this deflection; for simple spans the support spacing should be
reduced by 20% from tabulated values.

Bondstrand
PSXTML3 and PSX TMJF
Polysiloxane-phenolic
Fire-resistant Fiberglass
Pipe and Fittings
For offshore platforms, marine
and onshore service
Description
Approvals
Bondstrand PSXJF and PSXL3 fiberglass reinforced polysiloxane-phenolic piping

systems may be used for offshore platforms and onshore services where fire-resistant
piping with low smoke emissions and low toxicity are required. Bondstrand PSXJF and
PSXL3 products are designed for use in dry and wet deluge systems where low weight,
corrosion resistance and fire-resistance are desired. The polysiloxane-phenolic (PSX)
resin is a revolutionary technological breakthrough developed through extensive research
and testing by Ameron. The product is designed to withstand hydrocarbon fire including
jet fire at over 300 KW/m2 heat flux from 0.3 kg/sec., high velocity impinging propane
flame. Low smoke and toxicity emission, and low flame spread make it suitable for use in
enclosed space and critical service areas.
Offshore fire water lines

Piping in offshore living quarters
Offshore general services
Onshore fire water lines

Refinery and petrochemical general
applications
PSXL3 and PSXJF have Type Approval from ABS (Certificate No. 98-HS24317-X for
Steel Vessel Rules (1997)) Section 4/6.14, MODU Rules (1997) Section 4/2.17, IMO
Resolution A.753(18)-Level 3 Fire Endurance Test.
PSXL3 and PSXL3C (conductive) have U.S. Coast Guard Type Approval per IMO
Resolution A.753 (18) and PFM 1-98 (Certificates 164.141/5/0 and 164.141/6/0, respectively.)
Performance
PSXJF pipe has proved capable of maintaining rated service pressure with no leak after
exposure to impinging jet fire for a period of 5 minutes with the pipe empty, followed by
injection of water at 150 psi (10 bar) and a flow rate of less than 73 liters/minute for an
additional 15 minutes. After the heat was removed, the piping was pressurized for an
additional 60 minutes at 150 psi (10 bar), then 60 minutes at 225 psi (15 bar), followed by 5
minutes at 350 psi (24 bar). No passive fire protection is needed on the joints.
ISO-9001
PSXL3 pipe is capable of maintaining rated service pressure after 30 minutes stagnant
wet exposure to 1100C fire and 113.5 kW/m2 heat flux. PSXL3 pipe and fittings meet
IMO Level 3 fire test requirements even with the smallest diameter (1") pipe and QuickLock joint with no passive fire protection needed on the joint.
Pipe and fittings are designed to operate at up to 225 psi system pressure.
CERTIFICATED FIRM
FP721C (4/01)
Testing and standards
Bondstrand products are manufactured to meet the highest standard of quality in

accordance with ISO 9001. The products are designed to meet ANSI and ASTM
standards. Bondstrand PSXL3 and PSXJF piping meet all applicable requirements of
ASTM F1173 for fiberglass-reinforced resin pipe and fittings.
Testing for IMO Level 3 fire endurance has been performed by independent laboratories
and witnessed by third parties. Det Norske Veritas has certified that PSXL3 pipe systems
meet the requirements for IMO Level 3. The United States Coast Guard has accepted
PSXL3 products for applications requiring IMO Level 3 performance in 8-inch and
smaller diameters.
PSXJF products have been tested by SINTEF Energy for performance in jet fire
conditions in accordance with UKOOA guidelines. The PSXJF system meets the requirements for fire endurance in a hydrocarbon jet fire, certified by SINTEF.

Product
Bondstrand PSXL3 pipe and fittings in 2" & 4"; Bondstrand 3000A
FP261 (3/98)
" Bondstrand PSXL3 pipe and fittings provide protection not only from fire,
but also from dense smoke and toxic emissions in the event of a fire.
# Bondstrand PSXL3 pipe and fittings installed above
the ceiling in commissary building.
Pipe system
PDVSA looked to Bondstrand PSXL3 piping to provide a high measure of safety for
the fire protection system in its commissary in Venezuela. This marks the first
onshore use of Bondstrand PSX piping. Extensive testing of Ameron's patented
polysiloxane resin system has demonstrated not only its superior fire resistance, but
also, very low smoke density and low toxic emissions.
Approximately 1100 meters (3600 feet) of 2- and 4-inch diameter Bondstrand
PSXL3 and Bondstrand 3000A pipe and fittings were installed in the fire protection
system of this commissary. Bondstrand 3000A transports water from the main water
pipeline to the fire water system. The PSXL3 piping is installed above the ceiling as
part of the sprinkler system.
Advantages
These factors provide an advantage for Bondstrand over steel pipe.

Bondstrand also provides excellent protection against external corrosion in this
marine environment. It will not require frequent replacement due to corrosion.
Ease of installation - Light weight fiberglass is easy to handle and install. Amerontrained crews completed the installation.
Fire resistance - Bondstrand PSXL3 provides excellent fire resistance coupled with
low smoke density and toxic emissions.
Technical support
Ameron Technical Service provided installation training. This ensured that the proper
techniques were utilized during installation.

Double containment
without doubling
the cost.
BondstrandCX:
one-piece design,
featuring integral containment layer,
reduces installation time and labor costs.
merons BondstrandCX features a proprietary double-wall,
coaxial design that provides integral containment of a wide variety
of chemicals. Between the primary pipe and the protective fiberglass outer wall is a porous layer of inert granular material that creates a
tight interstitial space. Should a leak occur in the primary system, only a
minimal volume of liquid would set off detection sensors.
This one-piece design needs no centralizers, and its slim profile often
allows replacement of existing single-wall systems in the same pipe racks
or trenches without extensive modification or expansion.
Bondstrand CX is very lightweight: a 6" double-wall system weighs 50%
less than a conventional 10" over 6" system and 30% less than a minimal
8" over 6" double-wall system. The pipe is easy to install using standard
Ameron procedures: once the primary has been tested, you merely apply
adhesive to the secondary closures, snap them in place and allow them
to cure.
These features add up to real cost savings. Now theres no need to
compromise with cheaper materials that may not do the job. You can
have all the strength and reliability of fiberglass and save money.
BondstrandCX saves time, saves space
and saves your budget.

Description
BondstrandCX is a one-piece double wall rigid fiberglass double containment system.

The pipe and fittings are filament-wound fiberglass reinforced thermosetting resin. The
double wall design provides exceptional impact resistance, making BondstrandCX
suitable for corrosion and abuse prone applications where single wall fiberglass pipe
would not be suitable.

PRIMARY FITTING
For filament wound fittings, coaxial fittings maintain the same type of interstitial space
as on the pipe. Separate, easy to install closure pieces permit visual inspection of the
primary bond during testing. The closures are then set in place and bonded to securely
close the containment piping.

Clamshell fittings are available in 2-through 4-inch sizes in 90 elbow, 45 elbow, tee,
coupling and termination configurations. 2-piece fittings are bonded in place after
primary testing is complete.
BondstrandCX is available in all Bondstrand piping systems. Diameters range from
1- to 16-inches (25 to 400 mm).
Advantages
Dual wall design yields high impact resistance.

One-piece design is more economical to install than traditional containment systems
Small interstitial space provides rapid leak detection. Only a small volume of leaked
fluid is needed to reach a detection point to trigger an alarm.
Pipe and fittings are lighter weight than standard double containment piping.
Secondary closure pieces are adhesive-bonded in minutes. Double contained piping
system can be installed in significantly less time than a traditional containment system.
Integral containment layer produces a small profile. BondstrandCX is ideal for close
tolerance installations.
Fittings laying length is identical to that of a single wall fitting of the primary diameter.
Fittings can be placed in close proximity.
Pipe and fittings are fiberglass reinforced thermosetting resin for outstanding
resistance to corrosion.

Pipe system
Approximately 200 feet 3 thru 6-inch diameter, Bondstrand CX Series 2000 no

shave pipe and filament-wound fittings with secondary closures were installed.
Comments from the

installing contractor
estimated over 50%
reduction in installation

No shaving tools were

required to install the
system. The secondary
system was closed using
a two piece, filamentwound closure.
Note the compact
assembly allowed by
coaxial design of fittings.
Advantages

CX Pipe allows faster leak detection through the small interstitial space.
CX Pipe has a greater impact resistance than single wall piping.
Installation time was cut by over 50%.
No Shave pipe requires no shaving tools.
Uses same dependable QL design.
CX Fittings have same laying length as primary, allowing fittings to be assembled in
close proximity.

Pipe system
Over 50,000 feet (15,250 m) of 4- through 36-inch diameter, Bondstrand Series 3400
pipe with Key-Lock fittings and Series 3200L with Pronto-Lock joining system were
installed in the fire protection system of this refinery in Colombia.
The refinery is located in a subtropical region and close to the Caribbean Ocean.
The highly corrosive marine environment, combined with a high water table in the
area caused the original steel line to corrode and fail.
Ameron's FM-approved and UL Listed Bondstrand fiberglass piping systems are
inherently resistant to external corrosion. Bondstrand, used successfully in a variety
of marine applications, is able to withstand the harsh marine climate.
The mechanical joining systems lowered installation costs by about 60%. No
cathodic protection was required.
Advantages

Ease of installation - Using a mechanical joining system eliminated the need for
welding or complicated joining systems requiring highly-trained crews.
Cost savings - Bondstrand reduced the installationcost by about 60%

Pronto-Lock
heavy-duty mechanical
coupling system
Introduction
Pronto-Lock* is a heavy-duty threaded coupling system with a positive seal O-ring that
provides a fast, simple, rugged and reliable means to install fiberglass pipe. The
versatility of Pronto-Lock permits inexperienced crews to install pipe in all weather
conditions and types of services.
Features
Large, fast-advance Acme type thread: Rugged molded fiberglass threads that
prevent galling and will not crossthread.
Standard size O-ring: Use the standard Buna-N O-ring or choose from the broad
selection available on special order.
Molded O-ring groove: Precisely positioned O-ring insures positive sealing and
prevents movement, assuring pressure integrity.
Tapered sealing surfaces: During assembly, tapered surfaces precompress the O-ring
for a positive sealeven in vacuum service.
User benefits
Lower, more predictable installation costs because the pipe is installed quickly under all
weather conditions.
Specially trained crews are unnecessary since no special techniques or tools are
required.
Immediate reusability permits handling, testing and backfilling without waiting for
adhesives to cure.
Reusability of the mechanical joint permits use on temporary lines.
Construction
Pronto-Lock is made of fiberglass reinforced thermosetting resin with pressure,

temperature and corrosion resistance equal to or greater than the pipe ratings. The
threads and the O-ring grooves are molded; the female end is filament wound for extra
strength. Male and female ends are bonded onto the the pipe and the O-ring is placed
in the groove at the plant. The pipe comes ready for assembly.
Installation savings
Specifying engineers recognize the total cost in getting todays pipe in service for
profitable, uninterrupted service in the future. Material cost, corrosion protection and
welding mean labor, time and money.
Thousands of miles of proven experience installing Bondstrand pipe is testimony to the
economic advantages and dependability of reinforced thermosetting resin pipe (RTRP).
Now Pronto-Lock goes one step further than the adhesive joining system with a
reduction in labor of 25% and reduction in joint installation time of 50%.
In normal conditions, a 3-man crew can install 1800 feet of 2-inch Bondstrand pipe with
Pronto-Lock every hour. Pipe crossings, ditch water, rain, cold weather and marshlands
are no problem. Pipe with Pronto-Lock can be put into service immediately.

Bondstrand pipe with the Pronto-Lock joint installs twice as fast as pipe with adhesive
joints, even by unskilled crews. Simply lubricate and insert the threaded male end into
the female end and turn the pipe until the connection is firm. Tighten the joint with a
strap wrench on the female end to insure full makeup. No adhesive. No welding. The
joint makes up pronto!
Areas of application
Buried lines. Pronto-Lock allows immediate placement in the ditch, testing and
backfillinggreatly reducing open ditch time.
Overhead lines. Pronto-Lock on lightweight Bondstrand fiberglass pipe allows safe,
quick assembly on overhead pipe racks.
Surface lines. Bondstrand fiberglass pipe can be installed above ground.
Temporary lines. Pronto-Lock can be reused. The molded threads, when lubricated,
prevent galling and facilitate reuse.
Individual system components may not have the same ratings as the pipe. Refer to
the detailed product information for the specific components to determine the
Crossovers and tools
Crossover pieces to make transitions to steel and crossovers with a choice of special
end connections (grooved ends, NPT threads or flanged ends) are available on special
order.

Pronto-Lock II
heavy-duty mechanical coupling system
for fiberglass pipe
Introduction
Recognizing the need for a simple, reliable coupling system in the 8 to 16-inch nominal
pipe sizes, Ameron Fiberglass Pipe Division designed Pronto-Lock II* so that only the
male threaded portion of the coupling has to turn in order to lock the joint. This feature
allows for limited axial movement and also permits the incorporation of a 2 angular
deflection capability that is unavailable in steel and conventional adhesive-bonded
fiberglass piping systems. The angular deflection capability allows the pipeline to
conform much more readily to changes in terrain and minimizes the number of elbows
required. The deflection capabilities of the Pronto-Lock II coupling do not affect the
integrity of the O-ring seal. Pronto-Lock II employs a tapered male end which, after
being lubricated, is inserted into the female end, compressing the O-ring, thus
providing a leakproof connection. The locking sleeve is then spun into place, positively
locking the joint into position.
The female end of Pronto-Lock II is fiberglass-reinforced epoxy and is filament wound
onto the pipe in the factory. The male end is machined and attached in the factory by
adhesive bonding. The male end and the locking sleeve are made of centrifugally cast
chopped fiberglass reinforcement and epoxy resins. The resilient bearing ring is
Buna-N. The O-ring material is selected to be compatible with the system fluid. Buna-N
is standard, but other materials such as EPR and Viton A are available. Consult
BONDSTRAND CORROSION GUIDE, FP132, or Ameron Fiberglass Pipe Division for selection
of the proper O-ring material.

Operation
Fig.1. The Pronto-Lock II coupling prior to

insertion of the male end into the female end.
Fig.2. After insertion, an effective seal is made.

The two ends are joined in a leak-tight assembly,
but are free to separate as long as the piping
remains axially unrestrained.
Fig.3. The Pronto-Lock II coupling completely

made up: axial restraint of the joint by the
threaded locking sleeve assures that the pipe
ends cannot pull apart.
Angular deflection
The Pronto-Lock II coupling can accommodate up to 2 angular deflection off the

centerline when properly made up.
Fig.4. The positions of the mating surfaces in the

straight run (nondeflected) configuration.

Fig.5. The mating surfaces in the maximum
2 angular deflection condition.
Expansion/contraction
The Pronto-Lock II coupling can accommodate both tensile and compressive axial
loads. When the joint is made, the O-ring is compressed against the male end and
maintains leak-tight integrity of the coupling under tensile, neutral and compressive
axial load conditions. Although the no-load position cannot be determined exactly in an
assembled coupling, the total capacity for axial movement is about 38 inch.
Fig.6. The joint with no axial loading.
Fig.7. The joint under tensile axial load:

movement is limited such that the free space
between the bearing ring and the locking
sleeve is taken up and the bearing ring is
compressed. The joint is restrained from
pulling apart by the locking sleeve.
Fig.8. The joint under compressive axial load:

the coupling slides together until the male end
wedges inside the female end.
Only a light torque is needed to make up the locking sleeve. Owing to the limited thread
make-up of the sleeve into the female end, excess torque will not advance the threads
to compress the bearing ring on a properly inserted joint.
Since there is a mechanical interference at both ends of the axial travel, axial travel
cannot accumulate and cause the joint to separate. No tightening is necessary after the
joint has been put into operation. The coupling can be disassembled, if necessary.
However, about 10 inches of axial clearance is required to separate a disassembled
Pronto-Lock II joint.
Fittings
Ameron manufactures a complete line of fittings in the 8 to 16-inch nominal pipe size
range. All are available with the Pronto-Lock II coupling system that provides a uniontype connection at every joint. The concept can be applied to all fittings, providing a
totally mechanical, all-fiberglass system that forgives the minor angular or dimensional
variations that occur in all complex piping arrangements. The standard fitting comes
equipped with Pronto-Lock II female ends. Pronto-Lock II male ends are also available.
Prefabrication
Special layouts and fittings can be factory prefabricated from shop drawings by
Ameron and then shipped to the job ready for assembly. Where piping must be
tailored to special alignments for a specific job, the pipe can be cut and tapered and
the Pronto-Lock male ends bonded onto the pipe under controlled factory
conditions. Thus, field assembly and installation can be carried out regardless of
weather conditions.
Reusability
The mechanical joining of Pronto-Lock II also enables the user to recover and reuse
pipe and fittings. Piping systems can be modified and relocated without having to scrap
usable fittings.
Since make-up of the Pronto-Lock II joint does not depend on curing adhesives,
welding metals or favorable weather conditions, significant reductions in labor and
installation time are realized. The following table gives typical installation rates for
welded-steel pipelines and for fiberglass pipelines employing adhesive-bonded bell
and spigot joints and the Pronto-Lock II coupling system, respectively. Large pipe sizes
require larger crews and additional equipment.
With lightweight fiberglass pipe these needs range from 25 to 50% less than steel pipe.

Using the sandpaper supplied in the adhesive kit, clean both surfaces thoroughly to
remove all dirt, grease and foreign materials. Make sure the bonding surfaces are free
of moisture.
Do not touch the bonding surfaces with bare hands, dirty or greasy gloves or rags
after cleaning them.
Mixing the adhesive
In cold weather it is necessary to warm the resin to 50F (10C) to permit good mixing
and easier application.
Open both resin and hardener containers. Using the stick supplied, put all of the
hardener into the resin container. Never split a kit.
Pot life and

Cure time
At 77F (25C) the pot life of PSX20 adhesive is 20 to 30 minutes. The pot life
decreases with rising temperatures:

In extremely cold or windy conditions, use insulation to prevent rapid dissipation of
heat from the cure reaction. Cap the ends of the piping to prevent the passage of cold
air. In severe cold conditions, warm air may be blown through the interior of the pipe.
A heat cure is recommended for installations with service temperatures above 180F
(82C) or operating pressures over 300 psi. For ambient temperature conditions below
50F (10C), an external heat cure must be used. A minimum heat cure time of at least
30 minutes is recommended for 2- through 6-inch pipe. Even after the adhesive has
turned solid at ambient temperatures, heat curing will promote chemical cross-linking
of the adhesive, thus increasing its strength, temperature resistance and corrosion
resistance. A single Chem Cure Pak may be applied or an Ameron-approved electric
heat blanket may be used. The heat cure may be applied at any time after the bond is
made and before the pipe has been tested or put into service.

Shear Strength
Comparison
Polysiloxane-epoxy adhesive demonstrates a significant improvement in bonding

capabilities over conventional epoxy adhesives. When cured at room temperature,
PSX20 achieves 15 to 20% greater shear strength than conventional epoxy
adhesives. With elevated temperature cures, lap shear strength increases to 20
to 35% over standard epoxy adhesives. PSX20 also offers significant improvements
over conventional epoxy adhesives when bonding phenolic based laminates. When
applied according to manufacturers instructions, PSX20 yields a secure bond for
Dualoy, Bondstrand and Bondstrand PSX products.
Storage
Do not store kits in areas above 100 (38C) or below 32F (0C), or in the direct
sunlight in warm weather. In cold weather warm the resin to at least 60F (16C) but
not above 100F (38C) to permit good mixing and easier application. Do not use
adhesive past its expiration date.
Toxicity
Hardener: The hardener is irritating to the skin, eyes and respiratory tract. It is toxic
orally and may cause sensitization.
Resin: The resin is irritating to skin and eyes and may cause sensitization.
Handling precautions
Hardener: Do not get in eyes, on skin or clothing. Avoid breathing vapor; use caution
when opening can. Wear rubber gloves and apron and NIOSH-approved respirator.
Wash thoroughly after handling.
Resin: Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Wear rubber gloves and eye

Instructions
Prior to handling, read all Toxicity, Precaution and First Aid information below. Before mixing the adhesive, insure that the bonding surfaces are correctly prepared and are clean
and dry. Open the resin and hardener containers. Using the mixing spatula, scrape all of
the hardener into the resin container. Mix the resin and the hardener with the spatula for
at least 60 seconds. Scrape the sides, bottom and lid of the resin container occasionally to get all of the hardener into the mix. Never attempt to split a kit. The resin and the
hardener have been packaged at the correct ratio for optimum adhesive performance.
Apply a uniform coat of the mixed adhesive to both bonding surfaces and draw the
parts firmly together. Detailed joint assembly instructions may be found in QUICK-LOCK
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS, FP170.
Pot life and cure time
For installations with service temperatures below 180F (82C) and pressures below
150 psi (1.03 MPa), PSX34 bonds can be put into service with ambient temperature
cures as indicated in the table (See page 2 of this section.). However, it is highly recommended that an external heat source be used to force cure the adhesive. The
adhesive and bonding surfaces should be warmed to 70F (21C) prior to mixing and
applying the adhesive. Adhesive may be force cured using an Ameron-approved heating blanket. The table also indicates the pot life (working time) of the adhesive at various temperatures. The pot life is the time from the initial mixing of the resin and hardener until the adhesive in the container begins to thicken and is no longer usable.
For systems with anticipated service temperatures above 180F (82C) or operating
pressures over 150 psi (1.03 MPa), or when installing any system at ambient temperatures below 40F (5C), the adhesive joint must be cured with an external heat
source. A heat cure using an Ameron-approved electric heating blanket is recommended. The heat cure may be applied at any time after the bond is made and before
the line is tested or put into service. The heat may be applied immediately after making the bond while the adhesive is still liquid or after it has gelled to a solid.
ISO-9001
Minimum cure times of 30 minutes for 1- through 6-inch pipe and 45 minutes for
8- through 16-inch lines are recommended. Even after the adhesive has solidified at ambient temperatures, heat curing will enhance the chemical cross-linking of the adhesive,
increasing the strength, temperature resistance and corrosion resistance of the adhesive.
When used in fire protection service all joints must be force-cured with an external
heat source regardless of ambient temperature.

to accelerate cure, an external heat source must be used. If ambient temperature
is below 60F, or a more rapid cure is required below 80F, use an Ameron approved
electric heat blanket to supply external heat following the procedure in Steps A and B.
Joint surfaces should be warmed to 70F prior to application of adhesive when
ambient temperature is below 60F.
A) Turn the heat blanket on for 15 minutes, then turn it off.
B) Allow the bond to set an additional 15-20 minutes before moving.

Resin: The resin contains styrene and should be used only in good ventilation. In the
absence of good ventilation, a NIOSH-approved organic vapor respirator should be
used. The resin may be irritating to the skin and eyes and may cause sensitization.
Avoid breathing vapors. Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Wash thoroughly
after handling.
Catalyst: The catalyst is a liquid dispersion containing benzoyl peroxide in dibutylphthalate. Do not heat above 110F before using. Avoid contact with eyes, skin or
clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling.
First aid
In case of contact
Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with lots of water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician.
Clothing: Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.
Ingestion: If catalyst is swallowed and person is conscious, give plenty of water or milk
to drink. Do not induce vomiting. Call a physician. If resin is swallowed, give 100 grams
(about 1/4 lb) activated charcoal slurry in water. Do not induce vomiting. Call a
physician.

Bondstrand Corrosion Guide

Bondstrand Fiberglass Pipe

and Fittings
for industrial, marine, offshore,
and military applications
How to use this guide
Bondstrand pipe and fittings are suitable for the applications listed up to the maximum
recommended temperature. However, due to variations in actual service conditions, this
corrosion guide should be considered only a recommendation and not a guarantee.
Note that combinations of chemical solutions are often far more aggressive than the
individual components. For applications not listed, contact Ameron Applications
Engineering.
For service designated CM, consult manufacturer (Ameron) for possible limitations.
When no concentration is shown, recommendations apply to any concentration to
100% or to saturation.
Service considerations
The recommendations in this guide are based on continuous operating conditions.

Temperature ratings are usually higher for cyclic or occasional exposure. Contact
Ameron Applications Engineering for recommendations concerning systems with:
Cyclic chemical exposure
Temperature and concentration excursions exceeding those listed
Waste streams or solutions containing mixtures of materials listed herein or
containing traces of materials with CM rating
Solutions containing materials not listed herein
Secondary containment piping.
Ameron will also provide complimentary service analysis, piping recommendations and
value engineering.

Bondstrand Installation
Quick-Lock
Adhesive-bonded
Bell and Spigot Joints
for Bondstrand fiberglass piping systems
Introduction
Follow these instructions to make the Quick-Lock bell and spigot joint for Bondstrand
pipe and fittings using Ameron epoxy or vinylester adhesives. The instructions show
you how to cut the pipe, prepare the pipe ends, mix and apply the adhesive, make the
joint and cure the adhesive.
To determine the appropriate Bondstrand adhesive for your installation, consult
Bondstrand Chemical Resistance Guide, FP132. FP132 is available from Ameron or
your Bondstrand supplier.
Complete usage instructions for the adhesives are contained in each adhesive kit. Store
adhesives at temperatures below 100F (38C). Use adhesives before the date
stamped on the adhesive kit package.
The Quick-Lock joint has been used

successfully in Bondstrand fiberglass
piping systems throughout the world
for over thirty-five years. Typical of
Bondstrand installations is this vacuum
unit drain piping in a Saudi Arabian
desalination plant.
ISO-9001
CERTIFICATED FIRM
FP170E (8/00)
Cutting pipe
Measure the desired length and scribe the pipe using a pipefitters wraparound or
heating blanket. When holding the pipe in a vise, use a 14-inch (6 mm) thick rubber pad
(or equal) to protect the pipe from damage. Use a hacksaw or power saw with abrasive
wheel to cut the pipe. Check the squareness of cut. Pipe up to 4 inches (100 mm)
should be square to within 116 inch (1.5 mm); larger pipe to within 18 inch (3 mm). Use a
disc grinder or file to correct squareness.
Danger! Do not inhale dust produced by cutting and grinding. Provide adequate
ventilation or wear OSHA-approved dust mask.
Scribe the pipe with chalk or a white

marker to assure squareness of cut
(top). Bondstrand pipe may be cut
using a fine-tooth hacksaw or a power
saw with abrasive wheel (bottom). See
FP811 AMERON RECOMMENDED SAFETY
PRACTICES for proper personal
protective equipment.
End preparation
Use the Bondstrand B-1 end preparation tool for 2 through 8-inch sizes. For 10-inch
pipe and larger, several shavers are available from Ameron and are referenced in the
equipment list at the end of these instructions. Instructions for adjusting and operating
the end preparation tools are provided with the tools. The instructions may also be
obtained from your local Bondstrand representative.
End preparation
(continued)
End preparation tools can be used manually, but a portable power drive is advisable if
preparing a number of joints. Check the OD of the prepared end with a Pi Tape to ensure
the following dimensions are obtained:
The cutter wheels on the B-1 tool are

designed to cut when the tool is
rotating in the clockwise direction.
Attempts to cut with the tool in
counterclockwise rotation will bend
the cutter wheels and reduce the
effectiveness of the tool. Similarly,
when withdrawing the tool after
completing a cut, stop the drill motor
and simply pull the tool out of the
pipe. Do not reverse the drill rotation
when withdrawing as this will also
tend to bend the cutter wheels.
The B-1 tool (top) requires no adjustment

and is used to prepare pipe ends in sizes to
8 inches. Pipe ends in 10 and 12 inch sizes
are prepared with the M74 tool. The M80 tool
(not shown) is used for larger sizes.

All bonding surfaces must be clean and dry and must be sanded within two hours of
assembly. Sand the bonding surfaces with a 14-inch drill motor and flapper sander.
See the equipment list at the end of these instructions for drill motor and flapper
sander specifications. Sanded surfaces should show a dull, fresh finish, not a
polished look. Dont forget to sand the end of the spigot.
End preparation
(continued)
Wipe the sanded surfaces thoroughly with a clean, dry cloth, or use a duster brush to
remove dust particles. If surfaces become wet, warm with Bondstrand heating blanket
or hot air gun until dry, then resand. Protect the bonding surfaces from moisture during
bad weather by tenting over the working area. Do not touch the prepared surfaces with
bare hands or soiled gloves that would leave an oily film.
Caution: Clean and dry sanded surfaces are required for proper bonding.
When using pneumatic tools, the

air supply must be dry and
oil-free as moisture or oil on
bonding surfaces will interfere
with the adhesive.
Check the outside diameter of the prepared

pipe end with a Pi Tape (left). Permissible
diameter ranges are marked on the tape
and must conform to the values tabulated
on the previous page. Sand all bonding
surfaces within two hours of applying
adhesive: the inside of the fitting (top right),
the cut end of the pipe
(center left), and the outside of the spigot
(bottom left). Remove dust from all sanded
surfaces with a clean rag (bottom right).
Spigot insertion depths

and diameters
Measure back from the end of the spigot the distance shown in the following table and
scribe a line using a white grease pencil or soapstone. When the spigot is bottomed to
the pipe stop in the bell, the scribed line will be 1 inch (25 mm) from the end of the bell.

Before applying adhesive, put an

insertion depth reference mark on the
spigot by measuring back from the pipe
end by the amount tabulated above.
After joining, the reference mark should
be 1 inch from the end of the bell.
Alignment of fittings
To ensure proper alignment of fittings, matchmark the mating pieces before applying
adhesive. Taking care to avoid contaminating the bonding surfaces, dry fit the pieces,
then mark each piece for subsequent realignment.
Assure proper alignment of

fittings by matchmarking the
mating pieces while dry fitting.

Important: Be aware of the working time available after the adhesive has been mixed.
It may not be possible to achieve the listed number of bonds in the smaller
sizes because of the available working time (pot life) of the adhesive. See
the adhesive kit package for the approximate working times.
Add all of the hardener to the resin (left).

After mixing thoroughly, apply a thin layer
to the inside of the bell (right).
When the joint is ready to be bonded, add the curing agent to the resin. Stir thoroughly
for at least one minute or until no streaks are visible. Apply the mixed adhesive to the
bonding surfaces immediately.
If the mix has started to gel in the container, discard and start a new kit.
Appearance of gelled or lumpy material indicates that the mix has started to cure.
Use the disposable spatula supplied in the kit to apply a thin layer (132 inch or 1 mm) of
adhesive to the surface of the bell including the pipe stop. Excess adhesive in the bell
will restrict flow inside the joint. Apply adhesive liberally to the entire spigot surface and
a thin layer to the cut end of the pipe. Excess adhesive on the spigot surface will be
forced out when the bell and the spigot are joined.
Proper adhesive application
In a properly made joint, the adhesive applied to the bell is pushed to the inside of the
joint where it forms a bead that protects the cut edge of the pipe. Excess adhesive
applied to the pipe spigot is pushed to the outside of the joint and can be easily
removed.
Too much adhesive in the bell may restrict flow through the pipe.
Apply a generous layer of adhesive to the

outside of the spigot (left). In addition,
apply a thin layer of adhesive to the cut
end of the pipe (right).
When the joint is assembled, some of the

adhesive in the bell is pushed to the inside
by the end of the spigot. When correctly
applied, a thin layer of adhesive in the bell
(center) forms a small bead that will
protect the cut end of the pipe.
Correct
Too much adhesive in the bell may restrict

flow inside the pipe (bottom).
Incorrect
Joint assembly
Without rotating the spigot, insert it into the bell until it rests firmly against the pipe stop.
For 6-inch (150 mm) pipe and larger, use a comealong to seat the joint and hold it in
place. Support the bands on wooden blocks on each side of the joint so the comealong
can remain snug while the heating blanket is wrapped around the joint and the joint is
cured. Joints 6 inches or less in size may be made by tapping on a wooden block
placed over pipe end to seat the spigot in bell.
Before joining the pipe, align the faces of

the bell and spigot parallel with one
another (left). When making largediameter joints, use a comealong to join
the pipe (right) and to hold the joint
together during the cure.
Joint assembly
(continued)
Join fittings to pipe using one of the two methods described above. It may be
necessary to back up an elbow, tee, lateral, etc., with a sandbag or similar shock
absorber while tapping pipe spigots into fittings.
Caution: Never use a metal hammer directly on Bondstrand pipe or fittings.
Joints in the small diameters can be made

up with a rubber mallet (or equal) and a
block of wood (left). Never strike pipe or
fittings directly with a hammer or mallet.
Check the insertion depth after making the
joint (right). The reference mark should be 1
inch from the end of the bell.
When mounting a flange, make sure that

the vertical (center left) and rotational
alignment (bottom right) meet the
requirements stated in the text.
Remove excess adhesive for good

appearance (second from top
left). Sand the inside of the flange
before applying adhesive (second
from bottom left). Clean excess
adhesive where the flange lip
contacts the spigot to avoid
contamination of the flange
face (bottom left).
Align flanges, tees and other fittings to the matchmarks as you make the joint to avoid
rotating the part while assembling. Check rotational alignment of flange bolt holes and
squareness of flange faces. Flanges with bolt holes more than 116 inch (1.5 mm) out of
rotational alignment, or faces more than 116 inch out of square across the flange face, or
any angular errors of more than 1 2 in the axial or rotational alignment of bell and spigot
are likely to cause subsequent assembly problems. If the joint is misaligned, pull it
apart, remove adhesive from the pipe stop area, reapply adhesive and rejoin before
adhesive starts to set up.
Force curing adhesive joints
When force curing the adhesive, place the thermostat end of the Bondstrand heating
blanket against the assembled joint with the thermostat side facing out. Wrap the
remainder of the blanket around the joint so that any overlap covers the thermostat. Tie
the blanket in place with any nonconducting tie.
In general, Ameron recommends the use of insulation around the heating blanket. This
is essential when the air temperature is below 40F (4C). Fiberglass insulation backed
with aluminum foil generally works well. Insulation should overlap the blanket sides
about 4 inches (100 mm) each way and be tied down near the edges to trap the heat.
Turn on the heating blanket and mark the starting time on the pipe. Check the blanket
after a short period to assure it is heating.
A 30-minute cure is recommended for joining pipe and mounting flanges and a
45-minute cure for joining fittings.
Position the heating blanket with

the thermostat facing out (left).
Wrap the loose end of the blanket over
the thermostat and secure with an
electrically nonconductive tie (right).
Mark the starting time for the cure on the

pipe (center right). If the temperature
might drop below 40F (4C), insulate
the blanket with fiberglass insulation
backed with aluminum foil or the
equivalent (bottom right).
Caution: Do not move, vibrate, or
Force curing flanges
Flange mounting requires a special blanket wrap. Lay the blanket flat with the
thermostat down and, starting at the thermostat end, roll it up. Insert the rolled blanket
into the pipe end to the depth of the fresh joint, leaving the cord and part of the blanket
exposed as shown. Fill the space inside the rolled blanket with fiberglass insulation to
ensure that the blanket remains snugly against the inside joint surface.
When curing a flange, place the heating

blanket inside the pipe so that the
thermostat faces the center of the pipe.
Insulate the space inside the blanket.

Bell and Spigot Joints
for Bondstrand no-shave pipe
Installation
1.
Cut pipe to length as shown in FP170D QUICK-LOCK ADHESIVE-BONDED BELL

AND SPIGOT JOINTS.
2.
Using 40 to 120 grit sandpaper, sand the first 2 to 3 of the end of pipe and the
Quick-Lock socket of the fitting to be bonded. Dont forget to sand the end of
the pipe. There should be no glossy areas left on the bond area of the pipe.
Note: DO NOT USE TRADITIONAL SHAVING TOOLS FOR SANDING THE
PIPE. FLAPPER SANDERS ARE ACCEPTABLE
3.
All bonding surfaces must be clean and dry and must be sanded within two
hours of assembly. Sanded surfaces should show a dull, fresh finish, not a
polished look.
4.
Wipe the sanded surfaces thoroughly with a clean, dry cloth, or use a duster
brush to remove dust particles. If surfaces become wet, warm with a
Bondstrand heating blanket or hot air gun until dry, then resand. Protect the
bonding surfaces from moisture during bad weather by tenting over the
working area. Do not touch the prepared surfaces with bare hands or soiled
gloves that would leave an oily film.
5.
Mark spigot insertion depth according to FP170D QUICK-LOCK ADHESIVEBONDED BELL AND SPIGOT JOINTS and follow the remaining instructions for
alignment, adhesive application, joint assembly and force curing.

Installation Practices
for Bondstrand CX Pipe
Scope
This procedure is used in addition to Ameron Literature FP170D (Quick Lock

Installation Procedure). For Ameron Literature see your local Bondstrand provider or
call Ameron International, Fiberglass Pipe Division.
Introduction
These instructions are intended to be used for the Installation of Bondstrand CX

Piping. To determine the proper adhesive for the installation see Bondstrand
Chemical Resistance guide, FP132. PSX34 adhesive will be suitable for most
services. PSX34 adhesive is Listed by the National Sanitation Foundation under NSF
Standard 61 - Drinking Water System Components - Health Effects for use in Potable
Water Service and Commercial Hot Water Applications. Use PSX34 unless the guide
recommends RP105, or if electrical conductivity is required (RP-60). Complete usage
instructions for the adhesive is provided in each kit. Use the adhesive before the date
stamped on the adhesive kit package.
End Preparation
Use the Jacket Cutter to cut the jacket to the specified length (see table 1 on left).

Set the depth of the wheel to cut the outer wall only. DO NOT CUT THE PRIMARY
WALL. Make sure the grinding wheel does not grind into the sand. Cut only to the
white tape that separates the secondary pipe wall from the sand. Cutting into the sand
will reduce the life of the wheel.
When cutting the jacket, there should only be one longitudinal cut. Use this same cut
path to pull out the jacket cutter. This will save wear on the cutter wheel. Start the cut by
pushing tool on to the pipe until the tool bottoms out. Rotate the pipe or tool to part the
jacket. Pull tool out along the same longitudinal cut.
Once the jacket is cut, use a utility knife to cut through the remaining tape. Use a blunt
end object to remove the wall of the jacket. Be careful not to damage primary pipe wall.
Use the standard spigot cutting tool to shave the spigot on the primary pipe, if necessary.
Note: For no-shave pipe, no spigot shaving tools are necessary for primary or
secondary pipe. If outside diameter (O.D.) is slightly large, use flapper sander to
reduce O.D.
Note: B-1F tools are used for 2-8. M80 shavers are used for 10-16. See the
Quick Lock procedure FP170 for spigot lengths and diameters.
Secondary Spigot
Use the Unique Taper Tool (Model 010), with the modified 3 cutter blade, to shave
spigot on outer wall for 2-6 inch pipe diameters. Use M-80 tool (adjusted) to shave
secondary spigot on 8-16 inch pipe. For no-shave pipe, sand the outer wall of the pipe to
the length of the secondary spigot. Ensure that all glossy surfaces are removed from
bonding area. Follow Ameron Literature FP667 for basic operating instructions of the
Unique Taper Tool. Follow Ameron Literature FP515 for basic operating instructions on
the M-80 shaver. Use Table 2 for length and O.D. of the spigot on the secondary wall. Angle
is 0 on spigot.
ISO-9001
Note: To set length of spigot, using the unique taper tool, the insertion depth of
the collet on the taper tool should be adjusted. Measure from end of secondary
wall to tip of cutting blade. Use the modified (3 long) cutter to cut spigot on
secondary piping.

Primary Piping
See Literature FP170D for proper bonding techniques. Leave secondary spigots as
clean as possible while bonding primary as this will save time when ready to bond
secondary closures.
Secondary Piping
Test Primary piping before assembly of secondary closures (see below). Sand all
bonding surfaces before bonding. Use the matched closures and bond across
spigots on pipe wall and female component. Be careful not to cover the sand layer
with adhesive. Use a hose clamp to secure closures until bond has set. Do not allow
the closures to move while curing. Do not test until full cure has been obtained.
Each end of the secondary piping must be closed if containment is to be pressure tested.
Reference FP822 TERMINATION FIELD WELD KITS for Bondstrand CX Pipe for guidance.
Testing
Primary Piping
Test primary pipe before assembly of secondary closures. During testing, inspect all
joints and monitor the cut ends of the containment piping (jacket). If a leak occurs in
the primary piping, it will be visible at this point. Note: If the primary pipe is being
tested pneumatically, a soapy water solution can be used over the cut end of the
jacket to show integrity. This provides 100% inspection of the primary system.
Secondary Piping
Once cure is complete, remove the clamps and test using the test ports in the
closures at either end of the pipe system. Regulate air pressure going into the test
assembly. The secondary space is small which allows pressure to build very quickly.
Not using a regulator may cause damage to the test gauge. Note: Two sets of
closures with test ports should be used for testing each line or section of line (if
pipe is separated into zones). Use one of these closures near each end of the
line or section. This will show communication from one end to the other and
assure the line has been pressurized along its full length.
Test the secondary at required pressure. Net pressure on outside of primary not to
exceed the external pressure rating of the pipe.

Adhesive-bonded
Bell x Spigot Joints
for Series 3000A & 3200A
General
The bell and spigot joint is made by the adhesive bonding of a tapered spigot into a
tapered bell. The tapers machined in the bell and on the spigot end are matching
tapers of a pre-determined angle, 13/4 (2-6) and 2 (8-16). Each length of bell and
spigot pipe will have a factory-tapered spigot on one end and a tapered bell attached
to the other end. Fittings are manufactured to accept the tapered spigot end of the
pipe.
Factory
installed bell
Factory or
field taper
Installation Preparation
a. String the pipe along the right-of-way.
ISO-9001
b. After insuring that the tapered bell & spigot end are clean and dry, the end
caps should be replaced until the joint is ready to be made.
c. Make a thorough inspection of the pipe wall and tapered spigot end for any
signs of cracking or impact damage.
FP807 (11/98)
CERTIFICATED FIRM
Adhesive Mixing
& Application
a. Insure that the taper and bonding surfaces are clean. If the surfaces are oily or
greasy, they should be cleaned by sanding or with cleaner (not supplied). It is
imperative that the bonding surfaces be clean and dry before adhesive
application. A light sanding to freshen the surfaces should be done.
b. Mix adhesive according to directions taking careful notice of the working life.
Please review adhesive kit instructions prior to mixing.
c. Apply a thin coating of adhesive to both spigot and bell bonding surfaces.
Enough adhesive should be used to form a bead surrounding the pipe when
insertion has been completed. Only enough adhesive to wet the surfaces is
needed. More is not better.
2-6 Pipe
The spigot end should be inserted without rotation until contact of the matching taper
in the bell is felt. At this point, the spigot end should be rotated while applying force to
the joint. A slight reverse twist (1/4 turn) will lock the joint. The rotation of the spigot
end will redistribute the adhesive evenly and work any air out of the joint.
8-16 Pipe
a. Insert dry, then measure and mark the insertion depth of the spigot end on
the exterior pipe wall. (See Tables 1, 2 & 3 for insertion depths in pipe and
fittings, respectively.)
b. Remove the exterior gloss up to the recorded insertion depth using a flapper
sander or sandpaper. A light sanding of the spigot (if factory made) should
also be done.
8-16 Pipe (contd)
c. A second mark, 3 inches past the original measurement, should be made in

order to double check the insertion depth upon final joint makeup.
d. Buff up the interior of the bell and remove any rough edges using a flapper
sander or sandpaper.
e. Align the mating surfaces so that they may be brought together in a straight,
even line.
8-16 Pipe (contd)
f. Apply properly mixed adhesive to both the bell and spigot bonding surfaces.
g. The spigot end should be inserted in an uncocked position without rotation.

After initial insertion has been made, a come-a-long should be used to insure
that the proper insertion depth has been obtained. Use 5/8 (16mm) or larger
manila rope with the come-a-long, taking careful notice to protect pipe with
padding where the come-a-long is fastened. Take up the come-a-long slowly
and work joint together taking care to maintain alignment. Tap a wooden
block held against the next bell end of the pipe, to be sure the spigot end has
been fully inserted. Never do this against a pipe spigot.
General Considerations
a. Do not use excessive force. Over insertion should be avoided because it can
crack the spigot end and result in a faulty joint.
b. After proper insertion has been accomplished, check for possible backout at
the joint, by momentarily reducing tightness of come-along.
c. If joint separates more than 1/8 inch, too much adhesive has been used. Joint
should be disassembled, cleaned and reassembled using proper amount of
adhesive.
d. If temperature is below 40F (5C), heat assist methods such as a heat blanket
must be used in order for the adhesive to cure.
e. Do not pressurize the line until adhesive has fully cured. Curing time at
various temperatures are shown in the adhesive kit instructions.
Safety Recommendations
Engineering Controls:
A fabrication area should be set up in which to perform as much of the
fabrication work as is practical or possible.

Ventilation of the work area should be controlled. This can be done by means
of fans or dust collectors.

Work area should be kept clean, including floor or other horizontal surfaces.
Rinsing with water or sweeping with brushes or brooms (using floor sweep) is
recommended. Never use compressed air to clean area or to remove dust for
personal cleaning. Brushes should be used to remove residue from shaved
surfaces.
Personal Protection:
Barrier creme should be applied to the skin in areas which may be exposed to
shavings prior to beginning work.

Clean clothes should be worn each day. Do not wear clothing that has not
been laundered to begin a work shift. More frequent changing may be required
by conditions.
Long sleeved shirts or worksuits should be used. Tape should be used at
sleeve opening.
Cotton or flannel shirts under workshirts may be worn to prevent rubbing of
skin at opening of worksuit.

Gloves with elastic cuff should be worn at all times. Replace worn or contami-
nated gloves as necessary. Gloves with flared, stiff cuffs act as a gathering
funnel for shavings.
Pant legs should be worn outside work boots. If necessary for safety
purposes, the pant legs can be taped to fit closely to the boot. Over-the-calf
socks can be used to prevent chafing of the boot on the skin.
Wristbands and watches should be removed to prevent rubbing or accumu-
lation of particles on skin underneath the band.

Dust masks and face shields should be used as necessary and practical.
Contact points with the skin should be kept free of dust to prevent dust from
being imbedded into skin from movement of the mask during normal use.
Personal Hygiene:
Wash exposed skin with soap solution (liquid soap preferred) and cool water.
Use washcloth with brushing motion to remove dust or fibers. Do not scrub
the skin. This could result in the fibers being imbedded into the skin.
Rinse thoroughly with clean, cold water.
Apply lotion or creme to skin (non-detergent formulas such as baby lotion) to
soothe irritation or prevent further immediate irritation.
Insertion Depths
The following tables outline the recommended centerline to centerline measurement

procedure for Bell x Spigot pipe. The dimension values are subject to manufacturing

Pronto-Lock
Mechanical Joints
for Series 3000A & 3200A in 2-6 diameters
General
The Ameron Pronto-Lock mechanical joining system, U.S. Patent No. 3784239,
utilizes an O-ring seal and is designed to provide a fast, simple, rugged and reliable
method of installing pipe. The O-ring fits in a groove in the female end of the joint and
is installed in the factory. The sealing surface is the smooth tapered section of the
male end of the joint. Any irregularity, discontinuity or foreign material either on this
surface, in the groove or on the O-ring itself may prevent the joint from properly
sealing upon make-up. The heavy duty molded ACME type threads in this joint start
easily and make-up quickly with minimum danger of cross threading or jamming.

Lubricants
In order to minimize installation effort and permit disassembly when necessary, it is

recommended that a lubricant be used on all Pronto-Lock joints. In general,
lubricants such as motor oil, ethylene glycol, petroleum jelly, lard or vegetable
shortening may be used. Liquid detergent is also very effective and is the preferred
lubricant for potable water lines. Lubricants containing granular fillers or solid particles
should not be used because these may prevent the O-ring from properly sealing.
Those lubricants containing powdered or flaked metal or hardening type thread dopes
should not be used.
A major consideration regarding all types of lubricants is that they will catch and hold
any dirt, dust or sand which might come in contact with the joint, this possibly might
contaminate the O-ring or gall the threads and cause problems. For this reason, it is
necessary to emphasize cleanliness and care on the part of the installation crew.

FP808 (11/98)
Strap Wrenches
Standard strap wrenches, or chain tongs may be used to make up the Pronto-Lock
(2-6) joint. When using one of the accepted wrenches, the following rules must be
followed:
a. Always apply wrenches to the straight section of the Pronto-Lock female
end. Never apply any kind of wrench directly on the pipe wall.
b. Never use a tool or Cheater with a longer than 24 handle. The joints will
turn and make up easily if they are clean, lubricated and properly aligned. Any
difficulties encountered are usually the result of misalignment. When
resistance is felt, the joint should be either backed off and cleaned or the
alignment should be checked.
Installation Procedure

b. Inspect the pipe wall for any sign of cracking or impact damage.
c. Remove the protector from the female end of one length of pipe.
d. Inspect the female end to be sure it is free of dirt, sand or any foreign particles
which could prevent complete make-up of the joint.
e. Check the O-ring to be sure it is properly seated in the O-ring groove.
f. Support the female end from falling into the dirt by placing the strap wrench
(or other acceptable wrench) around the collar in the back-up position.
Note: Do not use any wrenches on the pipe wall itself.
g. Inspect the second length of pipe for any sign of cracking or impact damage.
h. Remove the protective end cap from the male end of the adjacent length of
pipe.
i. Insure that the sealing surface is clean and free from any roughness or foreign
material which might prevent the O-ring from sealing.
j. Insure that the threads are clean and free of any foreign material which might
prevent comlete joint make-up.
k. Lubricate the male end and the O-ring with the appropriate lubricant as
discussed in Section Lubricants.
(contd)
l. Insert the male end of the second length into the female end of the first length
as far as possible and begin turning clockwise so that the threads engage.
m. Apply a strap wrench or chain tong to the female end of the second length of
pipe and tighten. Use the strap wrench on the straight section of the ProntoLock female ends only. Do not use wrenches on the pipe wall.
Note: It is not necessary to apply excessive pressure on the wrench to
insure a seal. These are not sealing threads.
Variations in
Joint Make-Up
Due to make-up tolerances, some joints wil make-up flush while some will stand off
3/8 or more. This standoff does not affect performance because it is the O-ring which
provides the seal, not the threads. Attempts to make all the joints flush or deeper may
result in damage to the pipe. Experience with joint make-up will dictate the amount of
torque necessary to insure complete make-up. In no case is a lever arm greater than
24 to be used in making up the joints. Cheater extensions of existing tools are also
not to be used.
O-rings
The standard O-rings recommended by Ameron for use with the Pronto-Lock joints
are listed in the table below. Use of O-rings other than these without formal approval is
not recommended and performance cannot be guaranteed.

Installation Guide
Pronto-Lock II
Mechanical Joints
for Series 3000A & 3200A in 8-16 diameters
and 3300A in 8-12 diameters
General
The Ameron Pronto-Lock II mechanical joining system, U.S. Patent No. 4014568,
utilizes an O-ring seal and is designed to provide a fast, simple, rugged and reliable
method of installing pipe. The O-ring fits in a groove in the box (female) end and is
installed in the field. The male portion of the Pronto-Lock II joint is a combination pin
end (male) and sliding threaded sleeve, separated by a bearing ring. The threaded
sleeve enables complete joint make-up without rotating the pipe. The pin end is
tapered at two distinct angles which gives the Pronto-Lock II joint the capability of a 2
degree angular deflection so that installed pipe has the ability to conform much more
readily to changes in terrain.

Lubricants
ISO-9001
In order to minimize installation effort and permit disassembly when necessary, it is

recommended that a lubricant be used on all Pronto-Lock joints. In general,
lubricants such as motor oil, ethylene glycol, petroleum jelly, lard or vegetable
shortening may be used. Liquid detergent is also very effective and is the preferred
lubricant for potable water lines. Lubricants containing granular fillers or solid particles
should not be used because these may prevent the O-ring from properly sealing.
Those lubricants containing powdered or flaked metal or hardening type thread dopes
should not be used.
A major consideration regarding all types of lubricants is that they will catch and hold
any dirt, dust or sand which might come in contact with the joint, this possibly might
contaminate the O-ring or gall the threads and cause problems. For this reason, it is
necessary to emphasize cleanliness and care on the part of the installation crew.

b. For 8-12 pipe, it may be preferred to carefully hand lower lengths of pipe
into the ditch.
c. For 14 and 16 pipe, it is easier to lower the pipe into position with the
assistance of a front-end loader or equivalent. The pipe should be lifted with
the use of a nylon strap fastened at the middle of a length of pipe. When
handling 60 ft. lengths, a two point supporting system with a spreader bar
should be incorporated.
d. Inspect the pipe wall for damage.
(contd)
e. Remove the protector from the box (female) end of one length of pipe.
f. Inspect the box end, especially the O-ring groove to be sure it is free of dirt,
sand or any foreign particles which would prevent proper sealing of the O-ring
or complete make-up of the joint. In order to keep the box free of grit, it is
advisable to elevate the box from the ditch bed with a 4x4.
g. Install a lubricated O-ring into the clean O-ring groove using the correct
lubricant as discussed in the section Lubricants. The O-ring is larger than
the circumference of the O-ring groove and the final portion needs to be
pinched into place. Smooth out any twist in the O-ring once installation has
been completed.
h. Lubricate the entire installed O-ring and its surrounding area.

i. Inspect the pipe wall of the section to be joined for damage.
j. Remove the protective end cap from the pin end of the adjacent length of pipe.
k. Insure that the sealing surface is clean and free from any roughness or foreign
material which might prevent the O-ring from sealing.
(contd)
l. Install the square bearing ring between the pin end and the threaded sleeve.
m. Lubricate the pin end of the second length of pipe.
(contd)
n. Insure that the adjacent length of pipe is correctly aligned.

o. Stab the lubricated pin end firmly into the box using a battering ram type of
motion. Straight insertion is required to avoid pinching the O-ring out of the
O-ring groove.
p. Slide the threaded sleeve into position and turn to the right. When the joint is
properly aligned, the threads can be made up by hand.
(contd)
q. Snug-up the threaded sleeve with the spanner wrench.
r. For 14 and 16 pipe, stabbing is easier with the assistance of a front-end

loader or equivalent. Position the machinery so that the pipe ends to be joined
overlap by approximately 12. With this positioning, the installer will not be
fighting the cable when inserting the pipe. Pull back on the suspended pipe
and lower it into position so that both lengths of pipe are directly aligned. Stab
the lubricated pin end firmly into the box using a battering ram type motion and
complete the joint make-up following steps p. and q..
(contd)
O-Rings
The installer must only use the O-rings supplied by Ameron with the Pronto-Lock II
joint. The use of O-rings other than these without formal approval is not recommended
and performance cannot be guaranteed.
Pronto-Lock II

Note: (Reference item 9) For all pipe 20 diameter and over,

there are several important variations from the normal
sequence of weld construction, these are:
1. The Base C-veil strip and strips No. 1 and No. 2 are to be
applied INSIDE THE PIPE.
2. The Base strip is to be applied over the other two inside
strips instead of the against the pipe as usual.
3. Once the inside portion of the weld is constructed, the
remaining strips (from Strip #3) are applied in the ordinary
manner on the outside of the pipe.
Fig.7
Fig.8
7. A serrated roller is then used to smooth the weld and remove any air bubbles that
may have been trapped beneath the weld when applied (Fig.7).
8. The joint should be made in steps not to exceed 9 layers in thickness. The outer
surface of each strip should be lightly sanded prior to the next being applied.
9. An inside weld, consisting of 2 layers of chopped strand mat plus C-veil may be
used in larger diameter pipe.
10. A final gel coat is applied after the weld has taken its initial cure (Fig. 8).
CAUTION: Welding Resin is combustible. Keep away from heat and open flame. Use
with adequate ventilation. Avoid prolonged breathing of vapor. Avoid prolonged and
repeated contact with skin. In tanks and other confined areas, observe the following
precautions to prevent hazards of fire or explosion or damage to health: (1) circulate
adequate fresh air continuously during application and curing; (2) use fresh air masks
and explosion-proof equipment; (3) prohibit all flames, sparks, welding and smoking.
See application instructions included with shipment for equipment and methods
recommended for safe application procedure.

Assembly Instructions
for Bondstrand fiberglass flanges
Scope
These instructions present Amerons recommendations for the proper use of

Bondstrand fiberglass flanges in the following pipe series:
Series
2000
4000
2000M
5000
2000MP
7000
2000MFP
7000M
The mounting of flanges on pipe and fittings is addressed by the assembly instructions
for the particular Bondstrand adhesive used.
Gaskets
Use full-face gaskets of an elastomer suitable for the service pressure and temperature
and fluids in the system. Gaskets should be 18 inch thick (3 mm) thick with a Shore
durometer hardness between 55 and 65. Refer to ASTM D1330 Specification for Sheet
Rubber Gaskets, Grade I or II, to establish minimum physical property requirements for
use with water, except specify a Shore A durometer hardness of 60 5. For dimensions
other than thickness, refer to Table 5 of ANSI B16.21-1978 for Class 150 full-face
gaskets.
Assembly
First, finger tighten all nuts. Bolt threads must be clean and lubricated to attain proper
torque. Use lubricated washers under both nuts and bolt heads to protect flange backfacing.
Tighten all nuts following the sequences shown under TIGHTENING SEQUENCE. Do not
exceed the torque increments given in RECOMMENDED BOLT TORQUES. After all bolts have
been tightened to the recommended torque, recheck the torque on each bolt in the
same sequence, since previously tightened bolts may have relaxed.
Caution: Excess torque can prevent sealing and can damage flanges.
Sealing against valves

and other flanges
Always follow these instructions carefully when joining Bondstrand flanges to raisedface steel flanges, flanges on lined pipe and fittings, and wafer valves of all types.
Molded flanges should not be connected to wafer valves or raised-face steel flanges.
Valves are frequently supplied with sealing details built into the flange facing. Unless
these details are known to seal against Bondstrand flanges, use the usual full-face,
18 inch thick elastomeric gasket.
Safety factors
Standard black or solid gray molded flanges in 4 through 12-inch sizes have a safety
factor to failure torque of 1.5 or greater when joined to another Bondstrand flange or any
flat-face flange in accordance with these instructions. All other Bondstrand flanges
have a safety factor to failure of 1.5 or greater when joined to a raised-face steel flange
or a valve in accordance with these instructions.

Installation Guide
Saddles
for Bondstrand fiberglass piping systems
Installation
The following saddle installation procedures should be observed in order to insure

maximum performance.
a. Sand with rough sandpaper or flapper sander all surface gloss from the pipe
wall where the saddle is to be bonded.
b. Locate the saddle on the pipe and trace the hole to cut and the saddles
outer perimeter.
c. Cut a hole of the desired size using a pilot drill and a circular hole saw. A
carbide tipped or diamond hole saw is recommended. Do not force the
cutter or it will fray the edges of the hole.
ISO-9001
FP813 (11/98)
CERTIFICATED FIRM
Installation
d. Insure that the bonding surfaces are clean. If the surfaces are oily or greasy,
they may be cleaned with additional sanding or solvent (not supplied). It is
imperative that all surfaces be clean and dry before applying adhesive.
e. Mix adhesive according to directions, taking careful notice of the working
life, approximately 20 minutes at 75F.
f. Apply adhesive to the pipe wall, interior of the saddle and the edges of the
pipe wall exposed by the hole.
g. Align the saddle over the hole and clamp to pipe with two hose clamps.
h. Tighten the clamps alternately until secure and an adhesive bead surrounds
the saddle.
i. If the temperature is below 40F, heat assist methods such as the Heat
Blanket must be used in order for the adhesive to cure.
j. Do not pressurize the line until the adhesive has fully cured. Please check
individual series product data sheets for saddle pressure ratings. It must be
remembered that a pipe systems lowest rated component is the systems
controlling pressure capacity. If the required pressure rating for a particular
service exceeds the capacity of a saddle, an alternate fitting such as a tee
should be installed.

Maintenance Coupling
Assembly instructions for
butt-end joints and repair
Instructions
1. Cutting the pipe Before cutting the replacement length of pipe, allow the
temperature of the existing system to stabilize to avoid length changes through
expansion or contraction. Measure the replacement piece carefully so that the space
between its ends and the ends of the pipe in the existing system will be no more
than 1 8 inch.
Inner sections (2)

Outer sections (2)
2. Positioning the coupling Center the maintenance coupling over the joint and
mark the lap length on the pipe ends. Sand the pipe ends with a belt sander using
belts with a 40-grit abrasive. Sand inaccessible areas with a flapper sander or by
hand using a shoeshine method. Sand until all gloss is removed from surfaces to
be bonded. Sand the cut ends of the pipe as well.
3. Checking for snugness of fit Fit the parts together dry before final sanding.
The 180 inner sections placed around the pipe ends should, when held in contact
on one side, show from 0 to 18 inch separation on the opposite side. If, with zero
separation, the inner sections are not snug against the pipe surfaces, file back an
edge as required to get a snug fit. If the sections, when fitted snugly, show a
separation of more than 18 inch, correct any misalignment of pipe ends and sand to
fit. The outer sections of the coupling should show 18 inch or more of separation.
Hose Clamp
Areas to be sanded and

adhesive applied
4. Final sanding All mating surfaces must be clean and dry and must be sanded
within two hours of assembly. Sand using a 14-inch drill motor at 1700-2000 rpm and
a flapper type sander with a 40- 50 grit aluminum oxide abrasive, available from
Ameron. After sanding, bonding surfaces should show a dull fresh finish, not a
polished look.
Use special care in handling parts to avoid contamination. Handle the parts with new
gloves which are used only for this purpose or with clean, dry cotton cloths.
If the bonding surfaces are wet, warm them with a Bondstrand heating blanket until
dry, then resand. Protect the bonding surfaces from moisture during wet weather
with tenting over the work area.
5. Selecting the adhesive Unless the project specifications or the Bondstrand
Corrosion Guide (FP132) recommends a special adhesive for your particular service,
use Bondstrand PSX34 epoxy adhesive. Instructions for mixing and using the
adhesive are in the adhesive kit.
Larger couplings are more difficult to handle and assemble; once the adhesive has
been mixed, the time available for assembly is limited by the adhesive pot life. A
crew of two or three is suggested when assembling 8- through 16-inch couplings.
FP199D (7/99)
Instructions (cont.)
6. Applying the adhesive With the spatula supplied in the adhesive kit, apply
adhesive to completely cover the cut pipe edges, the prepared pipe ends and the
inner surfaces of the two inner sections of the coupling. Use enough adhesive so
that any excess will be forced to flow to the edges of the sections when assembled
around the pipe ends. Assemble these two inner half sections by centering them
around the butted ends of the pipe. If the potlife of the adhesive is now more than
half expired, it may be necessary to defer further assembly and cure the inner
sections. If so, clamp the sections and cure according to the instructions provided in
the adhesive kit. After curing, let the parts cool completely, remove the clamps,
resand the remaining mating surfaces, mix a new batch of adhesive and proceed as
follows.
Apply adhesive to cover completely the outer surfaces of the inner sections.
Assemble the two outer sections with the split line about 90 away from the split line
in the inner sections. Place the hose clamps around the assembly and draw them
tight. Remove excess adhesive for a workmanlike appearance.
7. Curing the adhesive Heat-cure the adhesive using Ameron heating blankets.
Cure time is 1 hour and 15 minutes for all diameters. Apply the heating blankets in
accordance with the instructions provided with the blanket, making certain that any
overlap of the blanket covers the thermostat. It is always a good idea to insulate
around the heating blanket and to close the ends of the piping system to prevent
movement of cold air inside the pipe while the adhesive is curing.

Ameron B-1F Pipe End

Preparation Tool
for Quick-Lock bell x spigot joints
Introduction
The B-1F pipe end tool is used to prepare the straight spigot end on Bondstrand
fiberglass pipe employing the Quick-Lock adhesive-bonded joint. The tool is available
for all Bondstrand pipe sizes from 1 through 8 inches in diameter. The tool is designed so
that all critical dimensions such as spigot length and spigot outside diameter are preset.
The 1- through 4-inch tools are designed to cut Bondstrand PSXJF pipe in two stages. The
tools are delivered with only one cutting insert located on the arm marked Spigot.
Advantages
The B-1F tool offers the following advantages over previous end preparation tools from
Ameron and end preparation methods offered by competitive manufacturers:
Requires no adjustment: spigot length and diameter preset to Ameron tolerances
Requires no special tools: uses ordinary power drills with 12-inch chuck
Compact: can use on installed buried pipe with minimal excavation
Reduces field labor time
Requires minimal set-up
Light weight for ease of use: 4-inch tool weighs only 9 pounds
Operating instructions
1) Clean the inside of the pipe to remove all dirt, sand or foreign objects. Clean tool of
any large particles or shavings from previous use.
2) Inspect the cutter on tool. If worn, remove and rotate for new cutting edge; replace if
all edges are worn. If cutter is loose, tighten with an Allen wrench.
The B-1F tool is available in 1 though

8-inch sizes for preparing spigot ends
for the Quick-Lock joint. Spigot length
and diameter are preset for each pipe
size. To use the tool, one need only make
sure that the inside of the pipe is clean
(left) and then insert the tool (right).
ISO-9001
CERTIFICATED FIRM
FP376E (6/99)
(cont.)
3) For preparing Bondstrand PSXJF, first remove the cutter from the area marked
Spigot with an Allen wrench and place it on the arm marked Jacket.The cutter in this
position will remove the external jacket.
4) Mount tool in chuck of 12-inch drill motor and tighten chuck securely. For best results
use a drill motor with side handles and a spade grip. Important: The shaft on the B1F tool is round without flats. The round shaft allows the chuck to rotate on the
shaft if the cutters bind. This safety feature should not be modified.
5) Except when working on installed pipe, hold the pipe securely, preferably in a pipe
vise. Use a 1/4-inch thick rubber pad between the clamps and the pipe to protect
the pipe. Warning: Avoid inhaling dust produced by cutting. Wear an OSHAapproved dust mask.
6) Insert the spindle of the tool into the pipe so that the cutter remains away from the
end of the pipe. Grip the drill motor firmly and switch to on. Slowly feed the tool into
the pipe until the tool bottoms. Too fast a feed (on the final spigot cut) can produce
high and low spots. Remove the tool from the pipe.
7) For Bondstrand PSXJF, once the jacket is removed, place the cutter on the arm
marked Spigot for the final cut. See note below.
8) Inspect the cut surface to determine that all glazed or resin-covered areas have
been removed. If such areas remain, sand by hand until the entire surface is without a
resin gloss.
Note: If several spigots are to be made, it may be more efficient to shave all the jackets
first, then shave all the spigots. Two separate tools, one with the cutter on Jacket and
one with the cutter on Spigot may also be used for large installations.
The cutter on the B-1F tool is designed to cut when the tool is rotating in the clockwise
direction. Attempts to cut with the tool in counterclockwise rotation will bend the cutter
and reduce the effectiveness of the tool. Similarly, when withdrawing the tool after
completing a cut, stop the drill motor and simply pull the tool out of the pipe. Do not
reverse the drill rotation when withdrawing as this will also tend to bend the cutter.

Bondstrand M80
Pipe Shaver
for Quick-Lock bell x spigot joints

Introduction
The M80 pipe shaver is designed to prepare Quick-Lock spigot ends on

Bondstrand pipe as described in the Bondstrand Assembly Instructions, FP170.
Pipe is shipped from the factory with prepared spigot ends, but pipe cut to length
on the jobsite must be provided with a new spigot end before assembly. Spigot
ends can be prepared on 10 through 16-inch pipe of any Bondstrand series with
the Quick-Lock joint using the M80 tool. The M80 tool can also be used to shave
8-inch Quick-Lock spigots and is to be preferred to the B-1 tool when preparing
8-inch Bondstrand Series 2000M and 7000M marine pipe that have greater wall
thicknesses than Bondstrand industrial pipe.
The M80 pipe shaver requires a different arbor for each pipe size. The expanding
arbor slips into the pipe and the O-rings expand to grip the inside pipe surface
when the tie bar is tightened. As the frame is rotated around the feed tube, the
cutting tools advance and shave a cylindrical surface (spigot) on the pipe. When
adjusted and used as described in these instructions, the shaver prepares an
excellent bonding surface with a controlled diametral tolerance.
This unit can be rotated by hand or with a portable power drive such as is used for
threading 12 to 2-inch steel pipe. A key in the portable power drive engages a
keyway in the power drive seat to rotate the unit.
1) Check your shaver If this is your first use of the M80 pipe shaver, check to
see that all parts are included or available. The following parts are included with the
M80 pipe shaver and case:
a) Shaving tool complete with two cutting tool assemblies.
b) Pipe shaver gauge (BB) with 0.015-inch feeler gauge attached.
c) Two turning handles (U) and attaching cap screws (AD). These are not needed if
a power drive is used.
d) Six Allen wrenches, sizes 332, 532, 316, 14, 516 and 38 inch.
e) Arbors (Q) complete with O-rings are available separately (See drawing on page 3).
ISO-9001
f) In addition, you will need the equipment listed in the Bondstrand Quick-Lock
Assembly Instructions, FP170. A wrench fitting a 118 inch hex head will also be
required. A portable power drive is not required but it makes the job much
easier. Contact the manufacturers or their representatives for information on the
following portable power drives:

2) Locate cutting tool assemblies

Locate cutting tool assemblies in the appropriate slots in frame B for the desired pipe
size, and assemble slide plate ( K), washer (T) and socket head cap screw (AE) on each
assembly, and tighten screws (AE) with 38-inch Allen wrench.
Before handling the shaver,
engage knurled slide sleeve (G)
by sliding it fully forward under
the power drive seat. Handling
the shaver with slide sleeve
disengaged may cause injury.
Caution: Do not reverse power drive

to return cutting head to starting
position. Do not use power drive to
advance cutting head beyond
maximum pointer depth
(about 3 inches). Shaver will jam at
end of travel, possibly causing injury.
When using shaver to make nipples,
avoid possible injury when
advancing cutting head by turning
shaver manually.
3) Adjust cutting edges

a) Disengage slide sleeve (G) by sliding it fully out from under the power drive seat and
draw tie bar (D) back so that feed tube (C) is fully back into frame (B), and reengage
slide sleeve (G). Remove nut (H) from tie bar (D), remove arbor (Q) if one is on tie bar,
and slip pipe shaver gauge (BB) onto feed tube (C).
b) With the 516-inch Allen wrench, slightly loosen socket head cap screw (AG) on one
cutting tool assembly. Adjust form tool (P) in toward or out from pipe shaver gauge
(BB) with adjusting screw (AA) until cutting insert (W) is separated from pipe shaver
gauge (BB) by the thickness of the 0.015-inch feeler gauge. Lock form tool (P) in
place by tightening socket head cap screw (AG). Recheck position of cutting insert
(W) after the form tool (P) is locked in place, and readjust if necessary. Repeat
procedure to set second form tool (P).
c) Remove gauge (BB) and slip arbor (Q) over feed tube (C). Turn nut (H) onto tie bar (D)
so that key on nut (H) will engage slot in arbor (Q). Nut (H) will be tightened later.
4) Mount shaver in end of pipe
With the Bondstrand pipe cut to length and firmly held in position (See photos of
padded vise in the Bondstrand Assembly Instructions), you are now ready to mount the
shaver on the end of the pipe. Disengage slide sleeve (G) and slide arbor (Q) and feed
tube (C) forward, away from frame (B) and re-engage slide sleeve (G). Slip arbor (Q) into
Bondstrand pipe until the end of arbor (Q) nearest to frame (B) is flush with end of pipe.
Now with a 118-inch wrench, tighten tie bar (D) (looking toward frame [B], turn hex head
clockwise) so that arbor (Q) is locked firmly inside pipe. Again disengage the slide
sleeve (G), slide frame (B) toward pipe until cutting inserts (W) are nearly touching the
end of pipe, and re-engage the slide sleeve.
5) Shave the spigot
If a portable power drive is used, slide the drive onto the power drive seat. If you are
going to turn the shaver by hand, attach handles (U). Begin turning shaver frame
clockwise (looking toward pipe), and continue turning and shaving pipe surface until
desired spigot length is cut (See table on page 4).
6) Check shaved diameter
a) After shaving one inch of the first spigot, you will need to check the shaved
diameter. First, disengage the slide sleeve (G), slide frame (B) away from pipe until
cutting inserts (W) are at the starting position, and re-engage the slide sleeve (G).
With the arbor (Q) still firmly in place, measure the shaved diameter of the new
spigot using a circumferential wrap tape such as a Pi Tape with a vernier reading to
0.001 inch (0.02 millimeter) on diameter. See table on page 4 for tolerance range on
spigot diameters. If your measured diameter falls well within this tolerance range,
you may proceed to Step 7.
(cont.)
b) If the diameter measured in Step 6a was borderline or outside the recommended

tolerance range, a slight adjustment of the two form tools (P) is required. Loosen
socket head cap screw (AG) slightly and adjust screw (AA) as required on both tools.
A quarter turn of adjusting screw (AA) will change the diameter of spigot by
0.020 inch (0.50 millimeter).
c) If the spigot is too small, go to Step 7 and cut off and discard the shaved spigot.
Reposition arbor (Q) in pipe end and shave new spigot after adjustment, repeating
Steps 4, 5 and 6 until the proper diameter is obtained.
d) Spigot too largeafter adjustment, repeat Step 6 until proper diameter is obtained.
Shaving a spigot in one pass

produces a slightly larger diameter
than is produced by shaving thin
cuts on repeated passes. To shave
acceptable diameters on one pass,
you must adjust the shaver based on
measurements of spigots made in a
single pass.
7) Remove shaver from pipe

To remove arbor (Q) from pipe, loosen tie bar (D) using a 118 inch wrench (looking toward
frame [B], turn hex head counterclockwise). With slide sleeve (G) engaged, slide arbor
(Q) out of the pipe.
8) Recheck adjustment for wear or abuse
Once the shaver has been properly adjusted for a given pipe size, you will usually need
to check spigot diameters only at the beginning and middle of each shift, provided the

Taper-Tool II
for 8-16 pipe, Bondstrand Series 3000A & 3200A
General
Taper-Tool II is a precisely engineered tapering machine designed to accurately grind

a taper which will mate perfectly with the other system components for 8-16 pipe,
Bondstrand Series 3000A and 3200A. The original model Taper-Tool II has the motor
mounted on the grinding drum while the newer Taper-Tool II has the motor separate
from the grinding drum. The high speed motor (120v AC/DC) and diamond surfaced
grinding drum assure a smooth and uniform taper for maximum bond strength.
Taper-Tool II: Fixed Motor Model
Taper-Tool II: Remote Motor Model
ISO-9001
As with all precision equipment, care during use and proper storage are very
important in order to maintain the equipment in good working order. The Taper-Tool II
is designed to give many years of service when maintained properly.
Note: Reference Safety Recommendations on the back of this brochure.
FP806 (1/99)
CERTIFICATED FIRM
Preparation
In the process of field fabrication, proper cutting and tapering is essential for correct
installation and performance.
1. For all cutting and tapering, the pipe must be held securely with a strap
wrench, saw guide/clamp assembly or a chain vise. When a chain vise is
used to hold the pipe, always wrap the pipe with protective material (rubber)
to prevent damage to the outer surface.
2. Cutting 8-16 pipe should be done with a power driven circular abrasive cutoff wheel. Note: Reference Safety Recommendations on the back of this
brochure.
3. The cut made on a pipe must be as straight as possible to insure a proper
tapering. Saw guides are recommended, but when not available, a wraparound may be used to scribe or mark a cutting guideline. See Table 1, page 6.
Taper Tool II Set-Up
Refer to numerical
identification key
Figure 1 on page 10
for references to part
numbers.
a. The tool comes packaged with nine 8 Extension Pins (refer to numerical
identification key Figure 1, Part 9) installed in the two Spiders (1 &10). There
are pins for each of the pipe sizes, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16. The tool will not
fit into the storage case with any size pins larger than 8 installed. The 8 pins
are slotted to be tightened or loosened with a coin, not a screwdriver. The
other sizes are knurled to be hand tightened only. Install appropriate size
extension pins into the spiders. Check that the mating surfaces of the pins
and spiders are clean prior to installing different pins. It may be necessary to
reposition the grinding drum to install different sized pins. Adjustment is
made by loosening the Allen Screw (54) and sliding Sleeve (55) and Housing
(48) down the shaft.
Preparation (contd)
b. Be sure the pointer, on the Degree Plate (59), is set at 2 degrees for standard
Ameron pipe tapers. Loosen bolts (44) to adjust taper angle, and then
retighten. Dropping the tool will result in knocking the set angle off or
damaging the tool. Do not drop.
c. Set rear spider at the end of the Extension Tube (3). Loosen screw (2) if
necessary to move spider. Next, retract the extension pins fully by turning the
Extension Pin Adjusting Knob (22) counterclockwise until it stops.
Motor Connection
d. Motor assembly of the remote motor model Taper-Tool II should be

performed as follows:
1. Remove dust covers from Flexible Drive Shaft Ends (57).
2. Push on the male hexagonal end of the drive shaft to extend the female
end beyond the drive shaft housing.
3. Rotate motor shaft so the flat side is facing up.
4. Insert the female end of the drive shaft over the male end of the motor shaft.
5. Through hole in motor housing, lock the set screw very tightly on the flat
of the motor shaft.
6. Screw the outer flexible drive shaft housing to motor.
Grinding Drum Connection
7. Insert hexagonal end of drive shaft into the Female Hexagonal Drum
Opening (38). After insertion has been completed, screw on the outer casing
of the drive shaft. Tighten to a snug fit.
e. In order to insert the tool into the pipe, loosen Locking Sleeve (55) by
unscrewing Allen Screw (54) sliding sleeve and Housing (48) away from the
spiders. Temporarily lock sleeve on shaft. Turn adjusting knob until all
threads disappear into housing.
f. It is important that the pipe end be cut square. The tolerance is shown in Table
1 on page 27. Slide Rear Spider (1) into pipe with Extension Tube (3) in a
cocked position. Push rear spider into pipe until Front Spider (10) is against
pipe. Raise the tool so front spider enters and fits snugly into pipe.
Grinding Drum Connection

(contd)
g. Slide the tool until the pipe and the grinding drum are in the proper position.
For the original model Taper-Tool II, set pipe within 1/4 of fully depressed
brake button. In the case of the newer Taper-Tool II, set the pipe 1/4 from the
bottom lip of the Grinding Drum Guard (23).
h. Turn Extension Pin Adjusting Knob (22) clockwise by hand until the tool
cannot slip or turn in the pipe. Do Not Overtighten! The pipe can be
deformed and an improper taper, or damage to the tool can result.
Taper Lengths & Angles
i. The following are the approximate taper lengths for the various pipe sizes:

Proper and consistent insertion depths can be maintained by grinding all tapers until
the thin end reaches 0.050 to 0.060 thickness.
Taper Tool II Operation
a. Plug the electric cord into either a 115 volt AC power source. Test the tool for
smooth operation. There should be no vibration. Caution: The motor turns at
20,000 RPM and tapering pipe causes large volumes of dust. Wear a dust
mask and goggles.
b. Turn on motor switch. Carefully turn Taper Depth Adjusting Knob (53)
counterclockwise until the grinding drum comes in contact with the pipe.
Note: Use caution in keeping hands away from the motor, blades and
any of the moving pieces.
c. Rotate the fixed motor Taper-Tool II by turning handle clockwise. (A one-way

internal clutch prevents turning the wrong way). Caution should be exercised
to avoid twisting of electric cord. The preferred method of accomplishing this
is to use pipe rollers and keep tool stationary. A two man crew, one to turn the
pipe and one to operate the tool, would be necessary. For the remote motor
model Taper-Tool II, grasp the drive shaft and rotate the tool clockwise
around the pipe taking care not to twist the grinding drum thereby changing
the taper angle.
d. Rotation should be continuous and uniform. After one complete turn of the
tool, repeat procedure of turning taper depth adjusting knob and rotating tool
until proper taper length is obtained. Avoid heavy cuts that slow motor down
drastically. Be sure tool vibration does not loosen the extension pin adjusting
knob. Observe the taper while it is being ground. If there are six high (or low)
spots, this is an indication that the extension pins are too tight and are
deforming the pipe. Loosen the extension pins until a smooth taper is being
ground. Rotate the pipe during tapering to eliminate the effects of high and
low grinding.
Taper Tool II Operation

(contd)
e. To stop the tool after proper taper length has been obtained, turn the taper
depth adjusting knob three complete turns clockwise to clear the grinding
drum from the pipe. Turn motor off and stop the grinding drum by depressing
the brake button (old style only).
f. Remove by turning extension pin adjusting knob counterclockwise until it

stops and pull tool out of pipe. Be sure threads on adjusting knob are cleaned
thoroughly.
Manufacture of
Close Nipples
The rear spider should remain at the end of the extension tube except for nipples
shorter than 26. For nipples shorter than 26, loosen screw and slide the rear spider
into position and retighten screw. An alternate grinding procedure for close nipples is
to hold the tapering tool stationary and rotate each nipple by hand or with a strap
wrench.
Reversing the
Grinding Drum
The grinding drum is diamond coated and should be turned end for end to extend
service life after it becomes dull. This will resharpen the drum by exposing new
diamonds to the cutting surface. A dull grinding drum can cause overheating of the
drum and/or motor. To turn it around, remove guard first and place a strap wrench
around the drum. Remove cap and use a socket wrench to remove nut. Note that this
is a left hand thread. Pull the drum off the shaft, turn drum and replace. Tighten nut
and replace cap and guard.
Maintenance
Keep your Taper-Tool II clean. Keep all motor passage ways free of dust. The motor
must have adequate ventilation during operation or overheating will result. Remove
the filter on back of motor to blow or wash clean (fixed motor model). Be sure it is dry
before replacing. Do not let any dust get into pistons when changing extension pins.
Keep shafts lightly oiled and wiped dry to prevent rust. Periodically the flexible drive
shaft should be lubricated with Lubriplate type 807 grease. Keep the tool in the case
when not in use. Do not attempt to disassemble the tool except as stated in these
instructions. If necessary to contact manufacturer regarding this tool, be sure to refer
to the motor serial number.
Dos
Keep it clean.
Keep in case when not in use.
Keep shafts lightly oiled and wiped.
Keep motor free of dust.
Keep bolts and screws tight.

Recommended Practices
to Minimize Exposure &
Effects of Shavings From
Fiberglass Pipe
Engineering Controls:

Local exhaust ventilation should be provided at areas of cutting and/or
tapering to remove airborne dust and fibers. General dilution ventilation

should be provided as necessary to keep airborne dust and fibers below the
applicable exposure limits and guidelines. The need for ventilation systems
should be evaluated by a professional industrial hygienist.
Rinsing with water or sweeping with brushes or brooms (using floor sweep) is
recommended. Never use compressed air to clean area or to remove dust for
personal cleaning. Brushes should be used to remove residue from shaved
surfaces.

Recommended Practices
to Minimize Exposure &
Effects of Shavings From
Fiberglass Pipe (contd)
Personal Protection:
Always refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) prior to working with
unfamiliar materials or if there are questions concerning the contents of the

fiberglass pipe.
OSHA regulates glasswool (fiberglass) under the Hazard Communication
Standard and as a chemical hazard in laboratories. OSHA classifies glasswool
fiber as a Particulate Not Otherwise Regulated, with a workplace
permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 5.0 mg/m3 for respirable dust and 15.0
mg/m3 for total dust. These limits are identical to those OSHA requires for
construction workers exposed to fibrous glass, which were adopted from the
1970 Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) of the American Conference of
Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH).
Barrier creme should be applied to the skin in areas which may be exposed to
shavings prior to beginning work.
been laundered to begin a work shift. More frequent changing may be required
by conditions.
sleeve opening.
Gloves with elastic cuffs should be worn at all times. Replace worn or contaminated gloves as necessary. Gloves with flared, stiff cuffs act as a gathering
funnel for shavings.
Wristbands and watches should be removed to prevent rubbing or accumulation of particles on skin underneath the band.
A respirator should be used if ventilation is unavailable, or is inadequate for
keeping dust and fiber levels below the applicable exposure limits. To protect
against dust and fibers, use a NIOSH-certified disposable or reusable
particulate respirator with an efficiency rating of N95 or higher (42 CFR 84)
when working with this product. For exposures up to five times the
established exposure limits use a quarter-mask respirator, rated N95 or
higher; and for exposures up to ten times the established exposure limits use
a half-mask respirator (e.g., MSAs DM-11, Racals Delta N95, 3Ms 8210),
rated N95 or higher. Operations such as sawing, blowing, tear out and
spraying may generate airborne fiber concentrations requiring a higher level of
respiratory protection. For exposures up to 50 times the established exposure
limits use a full-face respirator, rated N99 or higher.
Personal Hygiene:
Wash exposed skin with soap solution (liquid soap preferred) and cool water.
Use washcloth with brushing motion to remove dust or fibers. Do not scrub
the skin. This could result in the fibers being imbedded into the skin.
Apply lotion or creme to skin (non-detergent formulas such as baby lotion) to
soothe irritation or prevent further immediate irritation.

Heat Blankets
for heat-curing adhesive joints in Bondstrand

pipe and fittings.
General
Bondstrand heating blankets are specially designed to heat-cure adhesive joints in

Bondstrand pipe and fittings. Requiring either 120-volt or 220-volt alternating current,
the blankets are quickly and easily applied. They provide thermostatically controlled
heat, helping to assure maximum joint strength and reliability.
Blankets are available in five sizes and two voltages as follow:

Place the thermostat end of your Bondstrand heating blanket against the assembled
joint with the thermostat side facing out from the joint. Wrap the remainder of the
blanket around the joint so that overlap, if any, will cover the thermostat. Tie the
blanket in place with any nonconducting tie.
ISO-9001
FP805A (12/98)
CERTIFICATED FIRM
Insulation
It is always a good idea to insulate around the heating blanket and to close the pipe
ends. This is essential when it is windy or when air temperature is below 40 F.
Fiberglass insulation backed with aluminum foil generally works well. Insulation
should overwrap the blanket sides about 4 inches (100 mm) each way and be tied
down near the edges to trap the heat. Caution: Joint must not be moved, vibrated or
otherwise distributed during cure of adhesive.
Flange Mounting
Flange mounting requires a special wrap. Lay the blanket flat with the thermostat
down and, starting at the thermostat end, roll up the blanket. Insert the rolled blanket
into the pipe end only to the depth of the fresh joint, leaving the cord and part of the
blanket exposed as shown. Fill the space inside the rolled blanket with fiberglass
insulation or some other heat-resistant material to ensure that the blanket remains
snugly against the inside joint surface.
Curing the Joint
Determine the required cure time from the Bondstrand assembly instructions found in
the adhesive kit.
Warning: Before applying power, inspect the blanket and cord for loose wire
connections and bare wires. Do not plug cord into live power source when
standing in water or on wet surfaces.
Apply alternate current (ac) at the voltage marked on the heating blanket. Do not use
direct current (dc) power supply. Mark the start-up and disconnect time on the pipe
with a white grease pencil and you will have a record of cure for each joint in the
system. Be sure all electrical connections are good and that the blanket actually
heats up each time.

Shipping, Handling,
Storage and Inspection
of Bondstrand Fiberglass Pipe
Introduction
Bondstrand pipe is manufactured from fiberglass reinforced epoxy or vinyl ester resins.
When properly handled and installed, fiberglass pipe and fittings result in a
maintenance-free, high-performance piping system. Fiberglass reinforced pipe and
fittings are impact sensitive and must be handled with a reasonable amount of care.
Handling
Transportation
a. Let the factory arrangement of the pipe be your guide for correct supporting
and spacing when rearranging for transport. Do not let pipe or fittings rest on
the bed of the truck where nails, studs and other objects might damage them.
Whenever pipe or fittings come in contact with wood or metal, padding such
as excelsior, carpet or foam should be used.
b. The pipe should be securely fastened directly over the dunnage with tiedowns
consisting of nylon straps or manila rope. Avoid overtightening which may
cause excessive localized deformation in the pipe. Straps and ropes should
be retightened every 50 miles while in transit. Rope ties should be used
between standards to prevent the load from spreading.
c. Do not allow the pipe to extend more than 3 feet beyond the truck or trailer
bed as permanent damage can result from excessive flexing. Pronto-Lock
pipe should always be loaded with the female ends even. Spacers used
during transportation should be padded.
d. Bondstrand pipe is a light load, particularly with larger diameter pipe.
Therefore, reduce speed on rough roads to minimize bouncing.

be used between standards to prevent
the load from spreading (left). Straps and
ropes should be retightened every
50 miles while in transit (right).

Handling
(cont.)
Loading and unloading

a. Pipe and fittings should never be thrown or dropped under any circumstances.
b. If the pipe load is properly separated and supported, forklifts can be used.
Forklifts should have at least a 6-foot carriage (distance between the forks). All
surfaces that come in contact with the pipe should be padded.
c. Never jam or spear forks into a load of fiberglass pipe except where spacers of
at least 2-inch thickness are located.
d. If load is irregular and cannot be reliably moved by fork truck, or proper
equipment is not available, the pipe should be carefully loaded and unloaded by
hand one length at a time. The nominal weights for each respective pipe length
can be found under PIPE WEIGHT.
Correct unloading and stacking

procedure. The pipe should be carefully
loaded and unloaded by hand one
length at a time.
If proper loading equipment is not
available, do not roll pipe off trailer.

Bondstrand pipe may be safely stored outside for extended periods provided the
following procedures are observed:
a. Supports should be spaced in maximum 10-ft intervals and approximately 6 feet
from each end. The supports should have a minimum 4-in wide bearing surface.
Storage (contd)
b. A pipe stack should not exceed 10 feet in height and should have side supports
or blocks to prevent rolling or slipping in the stack.
c. Spacers should be utilized every 3 feet if the pipe will be reloaded by forklift.
d. Tie downs should consist of nylon straps or manila rope. Avoid overtightening
which may cause excessive localized deformation in the pipe.
e. If it is necessary to stack pipe directly on the ground, make sure that the ground
surface is level, soft and free of rocks or sharp objects.
f. Protective end coverings should be left in place until time of installation to
protect the pipe ends and to prevent dirt or other materials from entering the
pipe.
g. Fittings, adhesives and tools should be stored in their shipping boxes under
cover and protected from water, mud and extreme heat or cold.
Inspection
Since pipe and fittings may be subjected to rough treatment during transportation,
storage and handling, it is imperative that they be fully inspected for possible impact
damage, cracking or manufacturing defects. If the outside surface of the pipe has been
gouged or exhibits a depression, it is likely that the impact has also caused damage to
the liner. Impact damage on translucent pipe can usually be detected by a localized color
difference in the pipe.
The color difference may be as small as 12 inch in diameter or as large as 4 inches in

diameter depending on the intensity of the impact. Inspection of pipe and fittings should
be undertaken upon delivery and just prior to installation. At delivery, check the load
carefully. If pipe or fittings are delivered damaged, the following procedure should be
observed:
End Users and Distributors:
Accept all damaged material. Note damage on freight bill and bill of lading. Notify the
shipper immediately. Depending on the origin of shipment, call the Bondstrand
distributor in your area, or, in the case of direct shipments, call Ameron Fiberglass Pipe
Systems.
During inspection, isolate any damaged sections immediately to avoid any chance of
damaged material being installed. All damage on pipe must be cut out and repaired.
Inspection plays a major role in the ultimate success of an installed pipeline. If damaged
or defective pipe or fittings can be detected prior to installation, the installer will avoid
frustration and delays caused by necessary rework. All parties involved will benefit from
careful and thorough inspection.

General
Designing the Bondstrand system

This guide contains general information for designing suspended Bondstrand piping
systems. This information, in conjunction with good general engineering practice
and the designers good judgment, must all be applied to complete a successful
and economical piping system.
The guide considers the following:
Criteria for selecting Bondstrand products for a given application
Expansion and contraction
Span between supports and support location
Connections to other materials and equipment
Coating Bondstrand products
Suggested details for guides, supports and anchors
While Bondstrand performs in many applications just like metallic systems, the
designer must recognize some important differences:
Bondstrand pipe weighs only about 17 as much as Schedule 40 carbon steel

pipe. This means that pipe and piping assemblies even in 16-inch diameters
can be lifted into place using any light lifting equipment. In the smaller diameters, no lifting equipment is necessary. This reduces on-site installation costs.
The longitudinal modulus of Bondstrand is much less than that of carbon steel
pipe a characteristic that limits spans where deflection is important but also
reduces thrust due to temperature change.
Thermal expansion is 60% greater than for carbon steel. However, by taking
advantage of the Bondstrands flexibility, you can provide for this expansion
economically, often without using expansion joints.
Bondstrand fiberglass pipe requires protection against potential external abrasion or crushing at points where steel supports are located. Such protection is
easy and economical.
Effective modulus values vary with temperature. Recommended spans and

estimated thrusts are given to help the designer detail his project for long-time
operation at ambient and elevated temperatures.
Recognition of these and other differences dealt with in this guide is the key to
successful installations. While this information is likely to prove most helpful to
those designing Bondstrand systems for the first time, experienced Bondstrand
customers will also find new and useful information.
Be aware that the reinforced thermosetting resin piping products offered by other
manufacturers may differ significantly from Bondstrand. Resin systems, manufacturing processes and joining systems are important variables affecting the
mechanical and physical properties of these products. The recommendations
and suggestions given are based on Amerons test and field experience and
should be applied only to Bondstrand products.
Selecting Bondstrand pipe, fittings and adhesives
A choice of either epoxy or vinyl ester Bondstrand products is available for different
chemical and thermal environments. For information to guide your selection, refer to
the Bondstrand Corrosion Guide, FP132. This publication provides recommendations for different chemicals and other fluid materials, including food products, as
well as guidance for selecting the appropriate Bondstrand adhesive.
Filament-wound versus molded products
In smaller pipe sizes, you have a choice between molded and filament-wound
fittings. In general, filament-wound fittings should be used in applications where
fittings in loops, turns or branches are intended to flex, where temperature changes
exceed 100F in restrained or blocked systems, or where the system is exposed to
mechanical vibration or hydraulic surge. Filament wound fittings would be used,
also, in systems where a liner is required. Some sizes and types of fittings are not
available in both molded and filament-wound styles, so check the Bondstrand
Fittings Dimensions, FP282, for availability when making your choice.
General (cont)
Energy savings
Remember when selecting pipe diameter that Bondstrand's low frictional values
(Hazen-Williams C = 150) will reduce your pumping energy requirements compared
to those for carbon steel pipe. In most systems these low frictional values will be
maintained for the life of the system.
Note also that the slightly larger inside diameter of Bondstrand pipe compared to
Schedule 40 or 80 carbon steel pipe, will further reduce your pumping costs. Handy
charts in the Bondstrand engineering guides show the head loss expected for both
pipe and fittings.
Insulated systems
Bondstrand may be insulated in the field. Bondstrand pipe is also available from
many pipe insulators with efficient built-in insulation. If you use insulated
Bondstrand, be sure to check your support spacings for the operating temperature
to accommodate the added weight of the insulation and jacket.
Series 2000M-FP is manufactured with a factory applied, reinforced coating which
provides impact resistance and thermal insulation in addition to its fire protection
properties. Unless indicated otherwise, values presented in the tables for Series
2000 can be used for Series 2000M-FP.
Other application information
Where containment is required for your piping system, Ameron can supply
Bondstrand II pipe with a variety of joining and performance options.
Ameron has prepared a number of publications with valuable information pertaining
to specific types of service, including marine applications, fire protection systems
and steam condensate returns. Just call your local Bondstrand distributor or your
nearest Ameron sales office, and let us know your application. Give us the temperature, pressure, liquid or gas to be carried, and other pertinent conditions.
In addition, Ameron has computer programs for deflection and stress analysis of
Bondstrand systems. For a nominal fee, Ameron Engineering Department will be
pleased to utilize one of these programs to analyze your specific systems.
Experience shows, however, that such analysis is required only for the more
demanding or complicated conditions and that the generalized procedures presented
herein will usually suffice.
Designing for
2 expansion
and
contraction
General principles
Suspended pipe generally performs best where it is permitted to move freely. In
these systems, anchors serve only to keep the pipe properly positioned between
loops and turns. Center the anchor in the run between loops if possible. An anchor
should be placed between loops and between loops and turns. Except for the one
anchor per run, supports should carry the pipe and maintain the intended drainage
slope but should not restrain the pipe against axial movement. At turns, the
supports should also permit lateral movement. Supports should not fall directly on
fittings.
If the piping system cannot be designed to move freely, see next section on
DESIGNING FOR RESTRAINED SYSTEMS.
Pipe changes length in a free system as a result of changes in temperature and
pressure. Since both can increase or decrease concurrently, the resulting changes
in length must be combined for loop design. Length-change formulas and examples
appear in Appendix A, but the following paragraphs will provide all you need for
most pipeline designs.

Temperature Change (F)

Length change due to pressure
The amount of length change occurring because of internal pressure depends on
wall thickness, diameter, Poissons ratio and the effective modulus of elasticity in
both axial and circumferential directions at the operating temperature. In
Bondstrand pipe, some of these factors tend to cancel each other, and the correction becomes relatively simple. For each 100 feet in a straight, freely supported run
of Bondstrand pipe (Table 1) provides length changes which are suitable throughout
the indicated range of temperatures. You need only correct this value for the pressure of your system by using a direct pressure-ratio correction.

Anchoring for branches and valves

Both vertical and horizontal branches can add complexity to a system intended to
move freely. Unless a branch can move both axially and laterally, such as a short
stub-out to a nozzle or flexible hose connection, it will require special consideration
to avoid undue bending stresses. Sometimes the best solution is to anchor both the
branch and the run at the tee, accommodating the pipe length changes at turns or
loops in each of the three connecting lines. For example, a vertical branch
connecting to buried pipe may include a Z-loop; the tee may be rotated 90 to
permit an L-loop; or the vertical line may be treated as a restrained pipe as
described in Designing for Restrained Systems.
Valves should be anchored and supported directly, especially in diameters six
inches and larger. Valve weight in the larger sizes and torque on valve handles in all
sizes are the primary concerns. Generally, butterfly valves with manual lever handle
actuators do not require separate supports. Other types of actuators can add too
much torque or weight if they are not separately supported.

2 Designing
expansion and
contraction
(contd)
Using expansion loops

Loops are recommended for relieving longitudinal stress between anchors in a
suspended pipeline. Table 2 gives minimum expansion loop dimensions for all
Bondstrand pipe series. First, determine how much total length change due to
temperature and pressure must be absorbed. Use the appropriate table for the pipe
series you are using. Select the pipe diameter and total length change to determine
the required leg length for a U-loop design. As an example, assume that a Series
2000 eight-inch line is installed and will change a total of two inches in length. Table
2 for Series 2000 and Series 4000 shows that the length of loop leg required to
accommodate the length change is 9 feet (2.8m).
Loops should be horizontal whenever possible to avoid entrapping air or sediment
and to facilitate drainage.
For upward loops, air relief valves aid air removal and improve flow. In pressure systems, air removal for both pressure testing and normal operation is
required for safety as well.
For downward loops, air pressure equalizing lines may be necessary to permit
drainage.
In both cases, special taps are necessary for complete drainage.
Loops using 90 elbows absorb length change better than those using 45 elbows.
Unlike a 90 turn, a 45 turn carries a thrust component through the turn which can
add axial stress to the usual bending stress in the pipe and fittings. Alignment and
deflection are also directly affected by the angular displacement at 45 turns and
demand special attention for support design and location.
A 45 elbow at a free turn with the same increment of length change in each leg will
be displaced 86% more than a 90 elbow. The relative displacement in the plane of
a loop is also more of a problem. Figure 2 illustrates the geometry involved. Design
information is not provided because it is beyond the scope of this manual and loops
with 45 elbos are generally not recommended. Consult Ameron if a situation
requires the use of 45 elbows.

Expansion joints
Instead of a loop, an expansion joint may be used to relieve longitudinal stress. The
type selected must be fairly flexible, such as a Teflon bellows which is activated by the
thrust of low modulus materials (see Note , Table 3).
Supports for expansion joints must be carefully designed and placed to maintain
controlled deflection. Besides adding weight, most of these joints act as partial structural hinges which afford only limited transfer of moment and shear. Where the
expansion joint relies on elastomers or thermoplastics for strength, the structural
discontinuity or hinging effect at the joint increases with increases in temperature.
When using an expansion joint in a pipeline carrying solids, consider the possibility that
it may stiffen or fail to function due to sedimentation in the expansion joint. Failure of
the expansion joint may cause excessive pipe deflection.
Designing for
3 restrained
systems
Caution: In restrained systems, pipe

fittings can be damaged by faulty
anchoring or by untimely release of
anchors. Damage to fittings in service can
be caused by bending or slipping of an
improperly designed or installed anchor.
Also, length changes due to creep are
induced by high pressures or temperatures while pipe is in service. When
anchors must later be released, especially
in long pipe runs, temporary anchors may
be required to avoid excessive displacement and overstress of fittings.
General principles
The layout of a system occasionally makes it impossible to allow the pipe to move
freely. Sometimes it may be necessary to block certain runs of an otherwise free
system. In a fully restrained pipe (blocked against movement at both ends), the
designer must deal with thrust rather than length change. Both temperature and
pressure produce thrust which must be resisted at turns, branches, reducers and
ends. Knowing the magnitude of this thrust enables the designer to select satisfactory anchors . Remember that axial thrust on anchors is independent of anchor
spacing. Formulas and examples are found in Appendix B.
In practice, the largest compressive thrust is normally developed on the first positive
temperature cycle. Subsequently, the pipe develops both compressive and tensile
loads as it is subjected to temperature and pressure cycles. Neither compressive
nor tensile loads, however, are expected to exceed the thrust on the first cycle
unless the ranges of the temperature and pressure change.
Thrust due to temperature
Table 3
Initial temperature-induced
thrusts (pounds-force) in fully
restrained Bondstrand pipe at
various operating temperatures
In a fully restrained Bondstrand pipe, length changes induced by temperature

change are resisted at the anchors and converted to thrust. The thrust developed
depends on the thermal coefficient of expansion, the cross-sectional area, the
modulus of elasticity and the temperature change, t. Table 3 gives the maximum
axial thrust in anchored lines for each series of Bondstrand pipe at three elevated
temperatures. The table assumes a fully relaxed initial pipe length at 60F, with
short-time modulus of elasticity values as shown.

Note: in tables above, thrusts are calculated assuming a fully relaxed initial length at 60F (16C) and short term modulus of elasticity values as follows.
For 2 - 6 inch Series 3000A, use modulus of elasticity values from Series 3200A.
Coefficient of thermal expansion is 10 x 10 -6 in./in./F (18 x 10 -6 mm/mm/C) for all but Series 3000A and 3200A which are 8.5 x 10 -6 in./in./F
(15.3 x 10-6 mm/mm/C) for 2 - 6 inch Series 3000A and all Series 3200A sizes, and 12 x 10-6 in./in./F (21.6 x 10-6 mm/mm/C) for 8 - 16 inch Series
3000A.

restrained systems
Thrust due to pressure

Thrust due to internal pressure in a suspended but restrained system is theoretically
more complicated. This is because in straight, restrained pipelines with all joints
bonded, the Poisson effect produces considerable tension in the pipe wall. As
internal pressure is applied, the pipe expands circumferentially and at the same
time contracts longitudinally. This tensile force is important because it acts to
reduce the hydrostatic thrust on anchors at turns.
For the designer of a restrained Bondstrand pipeline, however, the problem can be
greatly simplified. Table 4 provides the recommended design thrusts and locations
for anchors at various fittings.

Notes:
1. Pipe anchors (A) such as shown in
figure 8, Section 8 are used in restrained
systems at each end of a run and just
before a change in direction, and must
resist the tabulated thrusts.
2. Pipe anchors (B) such as shown in
figure 7, Section 8 are light-duty in-line
anchors usually located between two pipe
anchors (A) or midway between loops or
turns in systems not restrained.
3. Pipe anchors (A and B) at elbows and
branches should be located a distance of
five to ten times the pipe diameter from
the bend. Other anchor locations may
require a flexibility analysis.
4. No appreciable thrust on anchors is
developed due to internal pressure in the
pipe at in-line reducers.

Using guides for alignment control

A suspended line which is restrained from movement may need extra supports or
guides to maintain alignment, especially when the pipeline is exposed to a wide
temperature range. Guides as shown in Figure 6 may permit the pipe to move axially
but not laterally. Without guides, restrained pipe may not deflect uniformly and, in
some cases, may deflect excessively. Tables 5 to 9 (Tables 10 to 14 for metric) give
recommended guide spacing to avoid buckling deflection between anchors.
Supplying this lateral support by using guides at the normal support locations or
even at every other support is often sufficient, especially in the larger diameters. To
check, compare the recommended span for your operating temperature as determined from the section entitled SU P P O R T LO C A T I O N S A N D S P A N S with the guide
spacings from Tables 5 to 9 (Tables 10 to 14, metric). Be sure that guide and
support spacing meet both requirements.
As an example for determining guide spacing, assume that a three-inch Bondstrand
Series 2000 line is installed at 70F and is to operate at 250F (T = 180F). Table 5
shows that guides should be installed at intervals of 7 feet.

Spans and support

4 locations
Span recommendations
Recommended maximum spans for Bondstrand pipe at various operating temperatures are given in Table 15. These spans are intended for normal horizontal piping
arrangements, i.e., those which have no fittings, valves, vertical runs, etc., but which
may include flanges and non-uniform support spacings. The tabular values represent a compromise between continuous and simple spans. When installed at the
support spacings indicated in Table 15, the weight of the pipe full of water will
produce a long-time deflection of about 12 inch, which is usually acceptable for
Fully continuous spans may be used with support spacings up to 20 percent greater
than those shown in Table 15; in simple spans, support spacings should be 20
percent less than those shown in Table 15.
For this purpose, continuous spans are defined as interior spans (not end spans),
which are uniform in length and free from structural rotation at supports. Simple
spans are supported only at the ends and are hinged or free to rotate at the
supports. Special conditions described below are not covered.
The pipe is assumed to be free to move axially. Suspended piping, which is
restrained or anchored against longitudinal movement, represents a special case
and guides may be required as discussed under the previous section, Use of Guides
for Alignment .

Support spacings for special conditions

Piping designers may calculate deflections or determine support spacings for their
own particular geometry and loadings using the effective beam stiffness factors
given in Appendix C. In such an analysis, the effects of non-uniform spacing, turns
and branches, vertical or inclined runs, special joints which may act as a hinge,
heavy liquids, external loads such as insulation, thrust in restrained lines and
dynamic loads may be considered, often using a computer program.

Support locations
Supports that permit pipe movement are usually under pipe, not under fittings. Be
sure that pipe movement is not obstructed either axially or laterally by a flange or
fitting near the support. In general, supports may be located at convenient nearby
structures, just as for steel pipe, provided the support spacings indicated in Table
15 are not exceeded.
Anchors on pipe are indicated in Table 4 for restrained piping. Except at flanged
connections, above-ground anchors are usually found on pipe rather than fittings.
Anchors in lines free to move should be located where necessary to control movement into loops or turns. See Figures 7 through 10 for typical anchor details.
Supports for vertical runs
Install a single support anywhere along the length of a vertical pipe run more than
about ten feet long. See Figure 10 for suggested details. If the run is supported near
its base, use loose collars as guides as shown in Figure 10b, spaced as recommended in Table 17.

not recommended
Vertical runs less

than ten feet long may usually be supported as part of the horizontal piping. In
either case be sure the layout makes sufficient provision for horizontal and vertical
movement at the top and bottom turns.
Accommodate length changes in vertical pipe runs by allowing free movement of
fittings at either top, bottom or both. For each 1/8 inch of anticipated vertical length
change, provide 2 feet of horizontal pipe between the elbow and the first support,
but not less than 6 feet nor more than 20 feet of horizontal pipe.
Treat columns more than 100 feet high (either hanging or standing) as special
designs. Support and provision for length change are important. The installer should
be especially careful to avoid movement due to wind or support vibration while
joints are curing.

5 Connections
other materials
Connections to other piping

Where possible, connect Bondstrand to either metallic or thermoplastic piping using
flanges drilled to the 150 psi standards of ANSI B16.5. Bondstrand filament-wound
epoxy flanges and Bondstrand heavy-duty molded flanges may be bolted directly
against raised-face steel flanges These flanges also seal well against lined steel
configurations. All flanges, including Bondstrand standard molded flanges, epoxy
and vinyl ester, provide sealing against flat-faced flanges. Use a full-faced 1/8-inch
thick elastomer with a Shore A hardness of 60 5 for best results .
Flanged valves and other equipment are frequently supplied with different flange
facings. The configuration of these facings may vary widely. Unless it has been
demonstrated that these facings are compatible with the face of Bondstrand
flanges, consult Ameron Fiberglass Pipe Group Engineering Department.
Where Bondstrand is connected to metallic pipe, securely anchor the metallic pipe
at the point of connection so that expansion and contraction or weight of the metal
line is not transferred to the Bondstrand line.
Small-diameter metallic connections
Outlets for instrumentation are best made using orifice flanges with 1 2-inch orifices.
Threaded reducer bushings mounted in saddles, blind flanges and fittings plugs
offer connections up to 11 2-inches in diameter for a wide range of applications. The
most commonly used metal bushing material is Type 316 stainless steel, but
Ameron can furnish other materials on special order.
Gravity flow connections
There are different ways to make gravity-flow connections to floor drains, cast iron
pipe, etc. For example, a four-inch by six-inch tapered body reducer will enlarge the
receiving end of a Bondstrand four-inch pipe and serve as a packing chamber for
the cast iron end of a floor drain or other fitting.
Conversely, Bondstrand pipe can be packed and sealed into a cast iron bell. In any
case, avoid packing materials which must be applied at temperatures above 200F.
Mechanical couplings are available through other manufacturers to connect
Bondstrand to clay, concrete, cast iron or other non-metallic pipe.

6 Connections
equipment
Equipment vibration
Bondstrand pipe will safely absorb vibration from pumping or other conditions if (1 )
stresses are controlled within reasonable limits, and (2) pipe is protected from
external abrasion by saddles or sleeves where it contacts supports and other
objects. In general, pipeline vibration is severe only when the generating frequency
is at, or near, the natural resonance frequency of the pipeline. This frequency is a
function of the support system, layout geometry, temperature, mass, and pipe stiffness, and is often difficult to predict.
There are two principal ways to control stress caused by vibration. You can usually
observe the stability of the system during initial operation and add restraints or
supports as required to reduce effects of equipment vibration. Where necessary,
guides illustrated in Figure 6 will effectively hold pipe from lifting or moving laterally.
In special cases where source vibration is excessive (such as that resulting from
pumps running unbalanced), an elastomeric expansion joint or other vibration
absorber should be considered. If an expansion joint is considered, refer to
EXPANSION JOINTS.
Connections to tanks
The wall flexure of a tank as it is filled and emptied produces movements at nozzles
which must be accommodated in the design. These movements can be absorbed
by a loop or turn, or by an expansion joint. Avoid direct, straight-line connections
between tanks.
13
Other design
considerations
Coating Bondstrand
Exposure to direct sunlight will eventually degrade the surface of Bondstrand
piping. Although no failures are known to have resulted from this superficial degradation, it does cause a dull, grey appearance which many users wish to avoid.
Ameron products are available to prevent or arrest this effect, or for color coding.
Based on studies at the factory, a five-mil single coat of Ameron Amershield single
coat polyurethane protective coating will provide suitable protection for either epoxy
or vinyl ester pipe and fittings.
Adhesion of the coating is improved by delaying the application until the pipe
surface has begun to weather. Pipe must be thoroughly cleaned before applying the
coating.
For further information on chemical resistance, coverage rates, equipment and
application procedures for coatings, contact Ameron's Protective Coatings Division.
Electrical properties
Bondstrand pipe offers high resistance to stray electrical currents, a common cause
of corrosion around valves and pumps. Table 18 gives the results of tests on
Bondstrand pipe in a clean, as manufactured, condition at room temperature.
Obviously, electrical properties, especially surface resistivity, are greatly affected by
contamination and atmospheric conditions .

Note: All material was tested as manufactured and at room temperature.
High-velocity flow of fluids having low electrical conductivity, such as petroleum

distillates, can generate significant amounts of static electricity. In buried pipe these
charges are slowly dissipated. Be sure to ground projections or metal appurtenances, especially near discharge nozzles, filters, valves and other areas of high
turbulence. Use saddles instead of elastomeric pads at supports to obtain better
grounding.
Bondstrand Series 7000 pipe includes electrically conductive elements in the pipe
wall which, when properly grounded, prevent accumulation on the exterior of the
pipe of dangerous levels of static electricity produced by the flow of fluids inside the
pipe.
Entrapped gases
As in all piping systems, high points in the system will trap air or other gases.
Trapped gases may create a hazard during test and operation of the system, and
may restrict flow or drainage. It is recommended that air release valves be used at
high points to permit bleeding out trapped air or other gases. See SMALL-DIAMETER
METALLIC CONNECTIONS for suggested method of mounting.
Steam condensate
Good drainage helps avoid water hammer in steam condensate lines. For further
information, see our Bondstrand Guide for Steam Condensate, FP468, available
from your local distributor.
Heat tracing
Heat tracing may be needed to prevent freezing in cold weather or to maintain flow
of viscous fluids at ambient temperature.
Wrap heat tracing helically to avoid the pipe deflection caused by heating one side
of the pipe. Heat tracing should be directly on the pipe and within the insulation. Do
not exceed maximum trace temperatures of 250F for epoxy products or 200F for
vinyl ester products, and use the maximum trace temperature for the design of the
piping system.

Detailing the
8 supports
The following paragraphs describe and illustrate the different methods and devices
used to support Bondstrand pipe and fittings in a suspended system.
Because outside diameters of Bondstrand pipe are the same as those for iron pipe
size (IPS) standards, standard pipe supports and hangers often may be used for
Bondstrand piping systems. Occasionally, larger supports as given in Table 19 are
required to fit over elastomeric pads or saddles, especially at anchors.

Clamping forces
Support styles that clamp the pipe, are generally not recommended to ensure that
clamping forces do not crush the pipe. Local crushing could result from a poor fit,
and all-around crushing could result from over-tightening .
Where the pipe must be held tightly at the support, mount a pair of 180 support
saddles between clamp and pipe for the ultimate in strength and long life. In some
cases with Bondstrand 2000 or 4000, a 14-inch thick elastomeric pad (Shore A
durometer hardness 60 5) placed between clamp and pipe is a suitable alternative.
Space between pipe
In multiple runs, allow clearance for flanges and other fittings having a diameter
greater than the pipe. Table 20 shows the outside radius of standard Bondstrand
products. Add space between pipe runs to accommodate length changes at loops
and turns. Insulate as necessary to avoid direct exposure to hot pipe or other heat sources.
Table 20 Radius for determining piping

multiple runs
Notes:
1. Provide additional clearance
between pipe runs to accommodate length changes at loops
and turns.
2. Provide additional clearance

joining systems are used.

Supports permitting pipe movement

Supports allowing pipe to move with relative freedom include:
hangers which are free to move laterally or longitudinally with the pipe,
fixed supports over which pipe must slide, allowing longitudinal movement
and often lateral movement, and
guides which permit longitudinal movement of the pipe but restrain lateral
movement.
Hangers are free to move on their hanger rods and allow considerable longitudinal
and lateral movement. Hanger types include band, ring or clevis type (Figure 3), or
roller types (Figure 4) with the roller either suspended freely or held rigidly in a frame.
Fixed supports permit the pipe to move longitudinally and, in some cases, laterally.
An ordinary pipe rack made of steel angle is a typical fixed support permitting both
longitudinal and lateral movement. Figure 5 shows some typical types of fixed
support. Pipe resting in fixed supports requires protection from external abrasion, as
described below.
Guides (Figure 6) restrict translational movement but may permit longitudinal and
rotational movement. Guides are recommended for lines which are subject to sideloads or uplift. Examples include lines subjected to pressure surges, lines emptied
and filled during operation, and lines (especially when empty) which can be lifted or
moved by wind or other external loadings. Use guides on vertical runs (see Table 17).
15
the
8 Detailing
supports (contd)
Though no significant longitudinal movement is involved, guides are normally

required for restrained systems at spacings given in Table 5 through 14. An inexpensive guide for most applications is a light-duty U-bolt, double-nutted to restrict
horizontal and vertical movement but which permits free longitudinal movement.
Abrasion protection must be provided to protect the pipe where it slides through a
fixed support or guide. Choose a material compatible with the service environment
and budget. Some recommended protective methods include:
Bondstrand saddles, which provide a clean, corrosion-free surface acting
as a stiffening saddle for the pipe. Saddles are bonded to the pipe. In eightinch pipe and larger, light-duty abrasion protection can be provided by
bonding a half section of the same pipe to the line pipe.
elastomeric material such as rubber or neoprene. This material may be
either bonded in place or held by the clamping force of the support device.
galvanized sheet metal, bonded or banded to the pipe, where the environment is not too corrosive. Recommended minimum metal gauge is:
2- through 6-in. pipe: 16 gauge (0.0598)
8- through 16-in. pipe: 10 gauge (0.1345)
Abrasion protection must be firmly bonded or banded to the pipe wherever movement is possible between the pipe and the support.
Supports that anchor pipe
Pipe in a straight run is usually anchored by clamps or split rings. Light anchors
intended only to hold pipe in position between loops or turns in a free system may
be fixed supports, as shown in Figure 7.
Supports required to resist length changes in restrained systems generally require
the use of saddles. Saddles are recommended where pipe is to be held by ring
clamps (Figure 8). Bonded saddles also may be used as a shear key along with a
loose anchoring ring.
Valves and pumps in Bondstrand lines must be supported independently. Figure 9
shows how supports may be bolted to a flange to support weight, to resist thrust
and torque, and to provide electrical grounding.
Vertical pipe runs are usually anchored using bonded saddles or flanges resting on
a suitably reinforced and mounted guide or riser clamp (Figure 10).

Installation of Buried
Bondstrand Pipe
Introduction
To ensure long life and trouble-free service from a Bondstrand piping system, the
principles of excavation, joint make-up, bedding, backfilling and field testing must be
properly applied. These principles must be reflected in the phrasing of contract
documents and must be enforced through inspection. Be sure that contractor
personnel have been thoroughly trained in Bondstrand assembly procedures by a
certified Ameron field representative.
These recommendations for installing buried Bondstrand pipe are based on two
principles:
Follow Ameron's recommendations for assembling pipe sections and curing the
joints carefully.
Provide evenly distributed support for each section of pipe rather than concentrating
the support at points or short stretches of the pipe bottom. Evenly distributed
support is achieved through proper bedding.
Receiving, storing and

handling fiberglass pipe
design and
2 Trench
excavation
Bondstrand pipe is manufactured from fiberglass reinforced epoxy or vinyl ester resins.
When properly handled and installed, fiberglass pipe and fittings will provide a
maintenance-free, high-performance piping system. Fiberglass reinforced pipe and
fittings are impact sensitive and must be handled with a reasonable amount of care.
Refer to the Ameron publication SHIPPING, HANDLING, STORAGE AND INSPECTION OF
BONDSTRAND FIBERGLASS PIPE, FP167 for pertinent guidelines and a table of pipe weights.
1) The excavation must allow the pipe to be laid to the grades and alignments shown
on the plans.
2) Provide the narrowest practical trench width that will allow proper compaction of the
pipe zone backfill. The trench must have vertical sidewalls from the foundation to at
least the top of the pipe. Maintain a minimum trench width equal to the inside diameter
of the pipe plus 12 inches (300 mm). The maximum trench width from the foundation to
the top of the pipe must not exceed the inside diameter of the pipe plus 24 inches
(600 mm).
ISO-9001
3) Beneath vehicular traffic, the height of earth cover over the top of the installed
pipe must be no less than 3 feet (.91 m) unless suitable methods are used to
protect the pipe. See ROADWAY CROSSINGS below.
4) Provide firm, but not hard foundations consisting of sound earth1 or granular
soil2, and free from stones or lumps exceeding one inch (25 mm) in greatest
dimension that might bear against the pipe. Prepare suitable foundations by
overexcavating the trench for not less than 4 inches (100 mm) and backfilling

excavation
Fig.2. Pipe zone backfill should consist of

sound earth or granular material free of
stones or lumps exceeding 1 inch ( 25 mm)
in diameter. The material should not contain
vegetation or debris that could leave voids
upon decomposition. Granular materials
such as sand, gravel or crushed rock yield
high densities with a minimum of
compaction effort and have proven ideal for
the pipe zone backfill. Granular materials
should pass a 38-inch screen and no more
than 15% should pass a No. 200 sieve.
2 inches (50 mm) to subgrade with loose bank run material, graded uniformly in
one plane for the full length of the pipe. Overexcavate at each bell so that the pipe
barrel rests on the bottom of the trench. Foundations must provide uniform
support under the haunches of the pipe along the full length of each pipe section.
5) When the excavation is in soft
or wet, unstable soils that will not
provide sufficient support for the
pipe, overexcavated the trench at
least 6 inches (150 mm) and
backfill to 2 inches (50 mm) below
subgrade with solid granular soil
compacted to at least 85-95%
Proctor (40-70% relative density).
Then complete the subgrade as
described in section 5. The
method described in NFPA No. 24
section 8-4.3 under Exception is
not acceptable for fiberglass pipe.

1) Prepare and assemble Bondstrand Quick-Lock joints in accordance with the recommendations contained in Ameron publication, FP170. For taper/taper joints to 6 inches
(150 mm), consult Ameron publication FP104.
2) Position pipe on 4 x 4 timbers across the trench. Block pipe to hold alignment and
prevent lateral movement during cure. For larger diameters, use of come-alongs for
joint assembly.

1) Curvature may be vertical, horizontal, or a combination. Restraints, if required for

alignment control, shall each bear along at least 4 inches (100 mm) of pipe surface.
4 Placing pipe in trench
1) Cure the joints fully before lowering the pipe into the trench. Any vibration or
movement of partially cured joints will increase the risk of joint failure.
2) When the joints have cured, raise the pipe slightly to remove the timber supports,
using rope or webbed sling to lift the pipe. Do not use chains. Lower the pipe into the
trench gradually. Do not drop the pipe. When working manually, use at least two men
for 6-inch (150 mm) pipe and four men for 8 and 10-inch (200 and 250 mm) pipe. Install
larger pipe with lifting equipment. Do not lift pipe over 10 inches (250 mm) in diameter or
30 feet (9 m) in length at a single point: use a spreader bar.
3) Should the depth of the trench measured from the top of the supports upon which
the pipe is assembled to the trench bottom exceed 5 feet (1.5 m), do not lower the pipe
by the method outlined in section 4 as it may overstress the pipe. It is the customer's
responsibility to submit specific laying conditions (trench depth, handling equipment,
pipe diameter, etc.) to Ameron for recommendations for trench depths in excess of
5 feet (1.5 m).
Placing pipe in trench
4) Pipe may be installed in curved trenches provided the curvature is uniform and does
not exceed the tabulated values.
5 Bedding and backfill
1) Grade the trench bottom accurately and bed with sand to provide uniform bearing
and support along the entire length of each pipe section. Provide a shallow depression
for bells and couplings. The grade should not exhibit abrupt changes in direction or
slope except at fittings.
2) Do not cover pipe joints until all pressure tests have been performed.
Fill the pipeline with water or use

other appropriate means to prevent
buried pipe from floating during
compaction with water in
cohesionless soils.
3) Compact the backfill uniformly around the pipe giving particular care to the bedding
beneath the haunches of the pipe. Compaction may be done with water if the native soil
is free draining. If the native soil is not free draining, bedding with damp sand will
facilitate compaction. Extend backfill at least 6 inches (150 mm) above the pipe.
4) Place backfill in 6-inch (150 mm) maximum lifts to a point at least 2 feet (.6 m) above
the top of the pipe. Do not use mechanical compactors directly over the pipe until at
least 12 inches (300 mm) of fill have been placed over the pipe, or at least 24 inches
(600 mm) if heavy compaction equipment is used. Compact each lift to 85% of
maximum density as determined in accordance with ASTM D1557 for cohesive soils, or
to 70% relative density in accordance with ASTM D2049 for cohesionless soils which
fail to produce a well-defined, moisture-density relationship when tested in accordance
with ASTM D1557. Avoid damage to pipe wall during compaction. Place the remaining
backfill as directed by the engineer. Make in-place tests of soil density in accordance
with ASTM D1556 or ASTM D2167. Contact Ameron Applications Engineering for
specific information on ASTM specifications.
Mechanical compactors may be used provided harmful shock loads are not
transmitted to the pipe. Maintain at least 12 inches (300 mm) between tamping feet
and pipe wall to avoid damage to the pipe.
Roadway crossings
Where live loads are less than the conventional H20-S16 loading, the burial depth
measured from the top of pipe should be at least 3 feet (.91 m) for all diameters. At road
crossings where the loading exceeds H20-S16, bury the pipe deeper or use casing
pipe and collars or sleeves to protect the pipe. Ameron will make recommendations on
increased depth of burial upon request provided complete loading and soil conditions
are submitted for an engineering analysis.

Hydrostatic thrust
1) It is the responsibility of the engineer to evaluate the need for thrust blocks. A
complete evaluation must consider singly and in combination the effects of
temperature changes, internal pressure surges and pipeline geometry.
2) Temperature changes produce stress in buried pipe that is restrained by (1) friction
of the surrounding bedding, (2) passive soil pressure at fittings, or (3) thrust blocks.
Forces developed at fittings in fully restrained pipe are tabulated in Section 8 below.
3) Hydrostatic thrust at fittings is a function of the degree of restraint of the adjacent
pipe. The magnitude of the hydrostatic thrust experienced by a Bondstrand piping
system is also a function of the method of construction of the pipe: different values
must be used for systems employing reciprocally wound pipe (Series 2000, 2400,
3400, 4000, 5000, 5100 and 7000) and pipe made by the continuous winding process
(Series 3000, 3000A, 3200, 3300 and adhesive-bonded oilfield line pipe such as
Bondstrand 200, 300, etc). In a fully restrained reciprocally wound Bondstrand
fiberglass pipe (i.e., blocked against movement at both ends) with all joints bonded, the
Poisson effect produces considerable tension in the pipe wall: as the internal pressure
increases, the pipe expands circumferentially and at the same time tries to contract
longitudinally. The resulting tensile force in the pipe wall acts to reduce the axial
hydrostatic thrust on the fitting by about 50% compared to the thrust experienced in a
system using continuously wound Bondstrand pipe.
The thrust forces acting on a bend are defined as follows:
where
T = 2PA sin 2
T = Thrust at fitting (lbf)
P = Hydrostatic pressure (psi)
A = Flow area of pipe (in2)
= Angle of bend (deg)
Use this formula for determining thrust in systems employing Series 3000 and related
continuously-wound products. To determine hydrostatic thrust in pipe using
Series 2000 and related reciprocally-wound piping, use one half the value given by the
above formula. Hydrostatic thrusts at fittings in fully restrained systems at 100 psi
(7 bar) are tabulated in Appendix A. Thrusts at other pressure may be determined
by ratio.
4) Valves should normally be blocked as indicated in section 9.8 (fig. 9.2) to support
their own weight, resist thrust and to prevent excessive torque loads on the pipe
connections.
5) Thrust blocks are required at hydrants and at 6-inch (150 mm) or larger diameter tees and
elbows for firewater mains regulated by Factory Mutual Research Corporation.
Thrust due to thermal

expansion
Thrust forces arising from thermal expansion of the pipe wall in Series 2000 and related
products are tabulated below. The effects of thermal expansion will generally be less in
systems employing Series 3000 and related piping since the pipe wall thickness of
these latter systems is less than for Series 2000 products.

and construction
1) Once the anticipated thrusts have been determined, thrust block design must
consider soil strength, soil stability and location of the water table. Blocks must (a) have
adequate bearing area to resist the soil thrust, (b) bear against undisturbed soil and
(c) be so designed that the resultant thrust vector passes perpendicularly through the
center of the bearing surface (except for valves as in section 9.8). Should the soil be
unstable or the installation below the water table, the engineer must make provisions to
ensure stability such as driving piles to anchor to deeper layers of soil. Note that any
connecting metallic pipe must be anchored at the point of connection to the fiberglass
pipe to prevent transfer of excessive stress.

7) Work the concrete thoroughly around the fittings to maximize surface contact. The
entire area between the fittings and the freshly cut trench wall must be filled with
concrete and be void free. Maintain at least a 2-inch (50 mm) space between concrete
vibrators and pipe or fittings as even indirect contact through the concrete aggregate
may produce excessive impact loads on the fiberglass pipe.
8) Valve blocks should incorporate the steel necessary to support the weight of the
valve and resist any torque loads caused by opening and closing the valve.
9) Thrust blocks should encapsulate crossovers with at least six inches (150 mm) of
concrete between fittings and native soil.

Guide for Steam Condensate

and Hot Water Service
General
This guide provides specific information about the material requirements, design
criteria, assembly and testing methods recommended to assure a successful steam
condensate return line or a hot water line such as for district heating or geothermal
applications using Bondstrand pipe and fittings.
Material
Bondstrand Series 2000 pipe and fittings are suitable for steam condensate return
service.1,2 Joined using Bondstrand RP-34 or PSX34, this piping carries hot water safely
at temperatures up to 250F (121C) when the system is properly designed and installed.
The BONDSTRAND FITTINGS AND ENGINEERING GUIDE3 provides details on parts certified in
accordance with Military Specification MIL-P-28584,4 an RTRP specification written
especially for steam condensate return service. Certificates are available on request.5
Another military specification offers guidance on design and installation.6
In choosing parts for your system, Ameron suggests that you consider also the
following:
1.
Heavy-duty, filament-wound flanges are recommended in 2-, 3-, and 4-inch (50,
80, and 100 mm) diameter, particularly when systems are blocked or buried. In
larger diameters, standard filament-wound flanges provide the necessary
strength for this service.
2.
As an exception to the use of filament-wound products, molded blind flanges

are suitable for steam condensate service and are found on the approved list.6
3.
For reductions in pipe diameter, Bondstrand filament-wound tapered body

reducers are recommended over molded reducer bushings.
4.
Tees are recommended for branching. Saddles for branching to either

Bondstrand or steel lines are not recommended for steam condensate. Of
course, saddles are excellent for supports and for in-line anchor details.7
5.
Gaskets for both Bondstrand-to-Bondstrand and Bondstrand-to-steel flanged

connections should be 1/8-inch (3 mm) thick full-faced gaskets using a suitable
elastomer such as ethylene propylene rubber with a Shore A hardness of 605.
6.
Connections to metal condensate piping are always made using flanges. Metal
pipe should be blocked at points of connection to Bondstrand pipe to prevent
metal pipe loads from being transferred to the Bondstrand pipe. This applies to
drip leg connections as well as condensate lines.
7.
Metal piping within manholes may facilitate positive anchoring and provide
improved resistance to vibration, torque loads on valves and physical abuse.
8.
Bondstrand maintenance couplings are recommended for repair of damaged

lines where the ends cannot be separated enough to make a bell and spigot
joint. (See Field Repairs.)
FP468B (7/00)
Systems Protected
Against Live Steam
Bondstrand piping performs best in systems designed to carry condensate only in the
liquid phase. In these systems, a vented receiver tank or hot well collects the
condensate from the steam traps. From the tank, Bondstrand piping returns the
condensate to the boiler by gravity flow if elevations permit or by a pump arrangement
as in Figure 1. These systems are free of steam-induced water hammer and have been
shown to perform for up to 20 years without evidence of significant deterioration.
Systems Exposed
to Live Steam
Where hot wells are not feasible, other means of dissipating the energy in the drip
discharge must be used. Except where possible to design steam transmission lines
without steam traps,8 it will be necessary to remove the condensate from the steam line
at drip legs between the boiler and the equipment. Here complete protection against live
steam exposure may not be possible, but must be kept to a minimum. Steam flashing
within the lines tends to degrade the pipe liner over a period of time, particularly when this
flashing also produces water hammer.
Water hammer occurs in lines filled or partially filled with condensate. When a high
temperature (>212F or 100C) condensate discharge from a trap is released into these
lines, a portion of it flashes to steam. At the instant of release the pressure is nearly that in
the steam line. The flash steam immediately formed at the new lower pressure expands
greatly, even explosively, and a high-velocity pressure wave moves through the line.
Fig. 1. Typical Hot Well for Pumped

Condensate Return
In an empty condensate line, the positive pressure wave would move rapidly through the
line, and then, on cooling , collapse back to its original water volume, producing a similar
negative pressure wave. With the line full or partially full of condensate, the high-velocity
steam pressure wave may become a slug of water which is then slammed through the
pipe in a manner destructive to both pipe and equipment. As the steam rapidly cools and
recondenses, a reverse wave can develop.
The following steam properties outline the extent of this expansion and contraction. One
ounce (28 grams) of steam occupying over 2900 cubic inches at 212F (47,500 cc at 100C)
and atmospheric pressure will occupy only 1.8 cubic inches (30 cc) after condensing. The
flash steam formed on discharge to atmospheric pressure of condensate at 25 psi (1.7 bar)
is 5.7 percent by weight, and at 50 psi (3.4 bar) it is 9.0 percent.
Where some exposure to flash steam is unavoidable, special precautions can be taken to
alleviate the problem (see below). Remember, these precautions for systems with some
exposure to live steam are not necessary for systems fully protected against live steamthat is, where the condensate temperature is below the boiling point and there are no drip
leg connections.

(contd)
1.
Take care to assure a uniform grade line in the condensate lines. A gradient of
not less than one inch drop in 40 feet (2 mm per m) in the direction of flow is
recommended for both buried and suspended systems. Be aware that waterfilled low points in the line, particularly those near steam traps, can greatly
aggravate water hammer problems.
2.
Select suitable traps and develop a program of regular maintenance. Features of

trap design to consider should include:
minimizing the amount of condensate dumped per trap operation,
mode of failure, open or closed, and,
selection of the minimum workable size.
Avoid the temptation to install bypasses; While maintaining traps, valve off the drip line.
3.
Provide a dissipator at the steam trap from drip leg connections as shown in
Figure-2. Developed by Mr. Bill Stevenson, an engineer with the General
Services Administration, these widely used devices serve to absorb the initial
shock of the steam flash as well as to quickly dissipate some of the heat energy.
They are used in steel as well as RTRP condensate lines.
4.
Do not undersize the return piping. Larger sizes dramatically reduce the velocity
of the surge wave within the pipe and its potential for damage.
Corrosion Inhibitors
Where a corrosion inhibitor is required to prevent attack on steel components of the

piping system, morpholine is recommended. Other amine additives such as cyclohexylamine, may cause degradation of the pipe liner if used in concentrations in excess
of 1000 parts per million.
Layout of the Buried

System
Buried condensate and hot water systems operate at temperatures that normally
require anchor blocks at valves, turns and branches. The temperature-induced stress
in the blocked Bondstrand pipe will be absorbed in the pipe.9,10 For lines bedded
directly in soil, the designer should not expect that expansion will be absorbed as
movement at turns, by expansion loops or by expansion joints.
At lower temperatures (<180F or 82C) for short runs (<10 ft. or 3 m) from anchor to
fitting, and in poor soils (<1000 psf or 48 kN/m2), anchor blocks may not be required.
However, these are special cases and should be carefully analyzed before the decision
is made to install the lines without anchor blocks.11
Fig. 3. In-Line Anchor
In certain locations it may be necessary to place equipment such as pumps, valves or

steam dissipation chambers in restrained lines. Equipment replacement or repair, or
flange gasket replacement, will then be necessary from time to time. On heat-up,
normal thermal expansion produces a compressive longitudinal load in the restrained
Bondstrand pipe. Over a period of time this causes a shortening of the pipe such that,
unless the flanges are anchored, flanged joints often separate an inch or more when
cooled down and disassembled. This makes reassembly potentially difficult.
Reassembly will be much easier if the Bondstrand inlet and outlet lines are suitably
anchored at manhole and building wall penetrations. This can be done using an in-line
anchor block outside the wall as shown in Figure 3 or a steel anchor inside the wall as
shown in Figure 4. Good soil compaction under the lines around the manholes is
necessary so that excessive settlements cannot damage the pipe.
In some locations the stability of the soil under the pipe at penetrations cannot be
assured. Soil movements can produce excessive shearing loads on the pipe at the
interface to the fixed penetration. Here the anchor should be moved three to five feet
from the penetration and the penetration itself sleeved and sealed around the pipe.12
As an alternative to sealing between the pipe and sleeve with a firm but pliable mass, a
Link-Seal* provides an elastomeric seal by means of a preformed modular unit which is
bolted into place. These units may also be used to seal pipeline casings at road crossings.
The detail of Figure 3 must not be used to resist the expansion and thrust of restrained
steel lines. Connecting steel lines should be both anchored and supported to avoid
transferring excessive loads to the Bondstrand pipe.
Fig. 4. Anchor Inside Manhole or

Wall Penetration
Refer to Ameron literature11, 12, 13 for helpful information on the design and placement of
anchor blocks at buried fittings. The properties of Bondstrand pipe at elevated
temperatures are such that thrust blocks must be designed to resist both tensile and
compressive loads.
Layout of the
Suspended System
Suspended systems are generally designed using expansion loops rather than thrust
blocks, in part because the required supports are more economical when the pipe is
allowed to move freely.7 Anchors between the loops are required, of course, to control
the position of the runs.
Some layouts are simply too restricted to permit the use of loops.Large diameter
casings or tunnels are examples. The line may have to be blocked and guided to keep it
from snaking, or expansion joints may be used.
Assembly
Bondstrand pipe, fittings and flanges in condensate and hot water systems should be
assembled in accordance with Bondstrand assembly instructions and heat blanket
cure times should be 60 minutes for pipe joints and flange mountings, and 75 minutes
for joints or fittings.
Field Test
Simple hydrostatic testing of installed Bondstrand pipe and fittings to 150 psi (10 bar) or to
1.5 times working pressure for four hours is usually sufficient to assure proper performance.
Testing of a buried system is best accomplished prior to placing backfill and blocking.
In every installation operating at an elevated temperature, maximum reliability is served by
heating the system slowly the first time. A temperature rise of not more than 20F (11C) per half
hour generally will relax fabrication stresses and ensure optimum pipe and joint performance.
Field Repairs
Repairs of leaking pipe, whatever the cause, should be made by removing the faulty section
or a short length containing the fault, not by overwrapping the fault with any type of patch or
other material. If a joint is damaged during the laying operation, it should be cut off and a
coupling bonded to the cut-off end and laid in the line as a normal pipe.
If the damage occurs to an installed pipe which is blocked or otherwise restrained from
movement, the section to be repaired is cut out of the existing system and replaced by
inserting a length of new pipe or a new fitting or assembly in place of the damaged part.
The required buttend joint may be made using a Bondstrand maintenance coupling.

General
The information in this bulletin may be helpful in estimating construction costs where
Bondstrand products will be used. The tables estimate man-hours for making various
Bondstrand joints. The estimates are based on timed tests under ideal conditions: an
experienced person with all necessary materials at hand. Times do not include jigging,
measuring, planning, and other activities normally associated with piping joint fabrication.
Actual times may vary due to environmental conditions, skill and experience of the fabricator, and the equipment available. These times are based on the assumption that the
crew received limited training from an Ameron Certified Technician and they are familiar
with basic installation procedures as recommended in standard Ameron literature. Once

Table 3 estimates man-hours required for field fabrication of piping using both Quick-Lock
and Key-Lock joints. Key-Lock joint assembly times are based on a single key joining of a
male end of a pipe to a coupling already mounted on a pipe end fitting. For comparison,
man-hours for fabricating welded joints in selected types of metallic piping are included.
Table 2 estimates installation of Quick-Lock adhesive bonded joints.(Series 2000, 2000M,

Assemblers will be experienced after a few hours of training. This gives the contractor the
option to use less skilled (and less expensive) labor than certified welders. The assembly
of Bondstrand piping generally does not require heavy lifting equipment, reducing the setup and assembly time and eliminating the need for skilled equipment operators.

Product Notes
Rodent and Bacteria Attack

on fiberglass-reinforced piping systems
Introduction
Attacks by rodents on the protective coatings on metallic piping, electrical insulation and
thermoplastic piping occur with some frequency and are well documented. These
incidents, all involving conventional thermoplastics, naturally give rise to questions about
the performance of fiberglass piping under the same conditions. In the case of rodent
attack, fiberglass-reinforced piping can be exposed to rodents without any detrimental
effects whatever.
Rodents and thermoplastics
Rodents are attracted to thermoplastics for two reasons:

1. The plasticisers in some thermoplastics (especially PVC) taste and smell good to
many rodents. It has even been reported that some thermoplastics have a nutritive
value for rodents [the thermoplastics are] good for them.
2. Rodents need to chew and gnaw. Nature provides them with teeth that continually
grow in length and which they need to pare down to a manageable size. Hence, they will
gnaw at almost anything they can fracture with their jaws.
Rodents and thermosets
The major reasons why rodents are not attracted to FRP are as follows:
1. When fully cured, the thermosetting epoxy and vinyl ester resins used in Ameron
pipe and fittings are tasteless and odorless, thus offering no attraction for rodents.
2. The surface of fiberglass pipe and fittings is very hard and difficult to dent. There is
no place for a rodent to begin gnawing.
The experience of Ameron and other pipe manufacturers bears out these statements.
Microbial attack
The components of fiberglass piping systems do not provide an environment which

supports bacterial growth. The material by itself will not induce such growth nor would
it be affected by it. Ameron fiberglass pipe has been installed in diverse climactic and
soil conditions both below and above ground for many years. It has been exposed to a
broad spectrum of the worlds known bacterial strains without a documented case of
bacterial attack.

Product Notes
Weathering & UV Resistance of

Fiberglass Piping Systems
General
All thermosetting and thermoplastic materials are susceptible to ultraviolet (UV)

degradation upon prolonged exposure to sunlight. The degree of UV degradation
varies depending on the chemical composition of the materials, however, the
breakdown is primarily a surface phenomenon. The rate at which degradation may
occur varies based on the availability of air, water, oxygen and other oxidizing agents.
Numerous antioxidants and UV absorbers can be added to materials of high resin
content to retard UV degradation. Currently, no means exist to totally eliminate this
phenomenon.
The major concern regarding UV attack on fiberglass pipe is the loss of physical strength
through degradation of the resin-glass bond. Since UV degradation is a surface
phenomenon, the most efficient means of prolonging the integrity of the reinforcement is
to place a resin-rich protective layer between the structural fiberglass and the outer
surface. The thicker the surface coating, the better the weathering characteristics. The
use of pigments, dyes or fillers in the resin system will also improve weathering characteristics by helping to screen out the ultraviolet light.
Ameron employs a combination of techniques to protect the fiberglass bond from
UV attack. All fiberglass pipe produced by Ameron is manufactured on rotating mandrels.
This continuous motion results in a uniform resin-rich coating on the pipe exterior which
enhances its weather resistance. Pigments or dyes are incorporated into the resin system
to act as a further barrier to UV penetration into the laminate. Certain piping products may
also be overwrapped with an organic veil layer to provide even greater UV resistance.
Even if dry fiberglass appears on the outer surface, independent testing has shown it to
have no measurable effect on performance. If aesthetics are important, fiberglass pipe can
be covered with a high-grade acrylic or epoxy based coating.
Warranty
Ameron warrants its standard products against reduction of performance or corrosion

ratings due to UV exposure for a period of 15 years from date of purchase.

Safety Recommendations
Recommended practices to minimize exposure
and effects of shavings from fiberglass pipe.
Engineering Controls

Local exhaust ventilation should be provided at areas of cutting and/or
tapering to remove airborne dust and fibers. General dilution ventilation
should be provided as necessary to keep airborne dust and fibers below
the applicable exposure limits and guidelines. The need for ventilation
systems should be evaluated by a professional industrial hygienist.
Rinsing with water or sweeping with brushes or brooms (using floor sweep)
is recommended. Never use compressed air to clean area or to remove
dust for personal cleaning. Brushes should be used to remove residue from
shaved surfaces.
Personal Protection
Always refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) prior to working with
unfamiliar materials or if there are questions concerning the contents of the
fiberglass pipe.
OSHA regulates glasswool (fiberglass) under the Hazard Communication
Standard and as a chemical hazard in laboratories. OSHA classifies
glasswool fiber as a Particulate Not Otherwise Regulated, with a
workplace permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 5.0 mg/m3 for respirable dust
and 15.0 mg/m3 for total dust. These limits are identical to those OSHA
requires for construction workers exposed to fibrous glass, which were
adopted from the 1970 Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) of the American
Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH).
Barrier creme should be applied to the skin in areas which may be exposed
to shavings prior to beginning work.
Essential safety wear includes

eye protection, dust mask and
clean cotton gloves (right).
been laundered to begin a work shift. More frequent changing may be
required by conditions.
sleeve opening.
ISO-9001
Gloves with elastic cuffs should be worn at all times. Replace worn or
contaminated gloves as necessary. Gloves with flared, stiff cuffs act as a
gathering funnel for shavings.
CERTIFICATED FIRM
FP811 (7/00)
Personal Protection
(contd)
Wristbands and watches should be removed to prevent rubbing or

accumulation of particles on skin underneath the band.
A respirator should be used if ventilation is unavailable, or is inadequate for
keeping dust and fiber levels below the applicable exposure limits. To
protect against dust and fibers, use a NIOSH-certified disposable or
reusable particulate respirator with an efficiency rating of N95 or higher (42
CFR 84) when working with this product. For exposures up to five times the
established exposure limits use a quarter-mask respirator, rated N95 or
higher; and for exposures up to ten times the established exposure limits
use a half-mask respirator (e.g., MSAs DM-11, Racals Delta N95, 3Ms
8210), rated N95 or higher. Operations such as sawing, blowing, tear out
and spraying may generate airborne fiber concentrations requiring a higher
level of respiratory protection. For exposures up to 50 times the
established exposure limits use a full-face respirator, rated N99 or higher.
Special Consideration for Repair/Maintenance of
Contaminated Equipment: Use personal protective equipment as
discussed above. Where possible, vacuum equipment before
repair/maintenance to remove excessive dust and loose fibers.
Personal Hygiene
Wash exposed skin with soap solution (liquid soap preferred) and cool
water.
Use washcloth with brushing motion to remove dust or fibers. Do not
scrub the skin. This could result in the fibers being imbedded into the skin.
Apply lotion or creme to skin (non-detergent formulas such as baby lotion)
to soothe irritation or prevent further immediate irritation.
