Electrofusion Pipework
Electrofusion Pipework
UPP® pipework utilizes the advanced electrofusion welding process to effectively bond system components including pipework and containment together into one, watertight system.
UL UPP® pipe is offered in 1½", 2", 3", and 4" diameters and a variety of stick and coil sizes.
EN UPP® pipe is offered in 32mm, 50mm, 63mm, 90mm, 110mm, and 160mm diameters and a variety of stick and coil sizes.
We met up with veteran petroleum equipment contractors for their first UPP® Electrofusion Pipework installation. See for yourself what these experts had to say.
A WATERTIGHT PIPEWORK SYSTEM SOLUTION
With over 30 years of proven performance, UPP® of semi-rigid pipework is the world's first electrofusion pipework system for fuel applications, and remains today, the best-in-class watertight solution for pipework and containment globally.
Electrofusion Welding
At the heart of the UPP® pipework system is the highly efficient electrofusion welding process that connects pipe, fittings, boots and containment to create a seamless direct burial pipework system.
Gemini™ Secondary Containment
Gemini™ double wall fittings are specifically designed to enclose one-piece primary fittings, reducing the number of parts, welds, time, and overall cost.
Versatility
UPP® pipe is suitable for all fueling applications including product lines, vent lines, vapor lines, and above and below grade environments.
UPP® semi-rigid pipework utilizes the advanced electrofusion welder and welding process to effectively bond system components together into one, leak-proof system.
Fast Welding Process
After connecting a welder and its leads to a fitting, the installer presses a single button to initiate the welding process.
A Smart Welder
The welder calculates the exact settings needed regardless of pipe diameter, component, or ambient temperature.
Easy for the Installer
There is nothing for the installer to input, no language barrier to overcome, with the same process for all types of pipes, fittings, and entry boots.
In both of the polyethylene and fiberglass sump sealing processes, the boot, sump, and pipework become one solid structure, creating a watertight system.
Remove Leak Paths
The boot, sump and pipework actually become one solid structure, creating a 100% watertight system, free of mechanical seals and potential leak paths.
Polyethylene Connections
Entry boots directly weld to polyethylene sumps using the electrofusion welding process to create one, soid structure.
Fiberglass Connections
A polyethylene sleeve is over-molded onto a metallic ring that is fiberglassed to the sump to create a watertight joint.
Patented UPP® Gemini Secondary Containment fittings feature a two-piece design that can be fully welded and tested before closing the secondary, something no other brand can offer.
Less Fittings, More Savings
Designed to enclose standard one-piece primary fittings, thus drastically reducing the number of necessary parts, welds, time and overall cost.
Weld, Then Test
Avoid discovering a breach in the system after the secondary has been welded, saving significant installation time and cost.
Complete Confidence
With Gemini's integrity testing capabilities, you get a level of confidence which installers and end users have yet to experience until now.
UPP® pipework provides a non-corrosive alternative to steel & fiberglass with additional installation and performance benefits.
Greater Flexiblity
UPP® pipework is highly flexible unlike steel and fiberglass - it’s also structurally resistant to seismic activity, backfill, and traffic during install.
Non-Corrosive
Corrosion in steel piping can be caused by aggressive soils and can lead to large scale issues and joint failures – UPP® pipe and fittings simply cannot corrode.
Low Maintenance
With steel, ground movement, water hammer and friction losses can create ongoing maintenance costs after installation is complete, costs you can avoid with UPP®.
From cleaning and prepping the components, to executing the weld, the simple 8-step electrofusion welding process yields watertight connections throughout the pipework system.
