Facts Regarding PVC Coated Rigid Steel Conduit
Fast Wrap Productions is a San Francisco Bay Area based company that produces high-quality, built to specification, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) coated rigid steel conduit and pipe.Our product has the most continuous PVC coverage available on the market today. Installed properly by trained personnel, the Fast Wrap conduit has zero separation of coverage.Our competitors, including Ocal (Mobile, Alabama) and Rob-Roy Industries (Gilmer, Texas), as well as Perma-Cote, Kor-Kap and Plasti- Bond Red2Hot cannot meet that level of protection as documented in the Guidelines for Installing Steel Conduit / Tubing (Steel Tube Institute of North America, section 6.5.2.), which states, Sleeves on PVC-coated conduit couplings and fittings are provided to insure continuous coating protection. Protection is added because the coating is separate ,not continuous, between a section and fitting.This provides protection and makes the coating more resistant to corrosion penetration, but the coating is not continuous.
Our proprietary process yields an "impervious barrier" of 80 mil "minimum" of PVC protection, combined with applied sections of Heat- Shrink Tubing at couplings and fittings, creates a water-tight conduit system with continuous, "un-interrupted" PVC coverage throughout the conduit run. This process locks-out corrosive elements and greatly extends product life-span, thereby extending service-life of systems such as Fiber-Optics, Electrical, and Data to the customer. We provide the Highest Levels of Physical Protection available for severely corrosive environments and from physical damage caused by natural disasters such as earthquakes, mudslides, etc.
Our products are manufactured with Underwriters Laboratory (UL) listed materials, and are approved for Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD) projects such as hospitals,drinking water etc.
With your Rigid Metallic Conduit (RMC) or Intermediate Metallic Conduit (IMC) and 20 mil. PVC corrosion resistant, all weather tape, Fast Wrap will produce approved PVC COATED RIGID STEEL CONDUIT that is ready to install at a rate of up to 1,500 feet per workday, depending on size.
Fast Wrap Productions provides an economical, environmentally sound and user friendly alternative to both the liquid PVC processed type product, (e.g. Ocal and Rob-Roy) and the time consuming field wrap method. Unlike traditional suppliers, products from Fast Wrap offer superior corrosion protection, when properly installed, with zero separation of coverage at couplings and fittings.
Fast Wrap has an innovative mass-production field-wrapping method produces PVC coated rigid steel conduit that surpasses the ability of Ocal and Rob-Roy to protect conduit and pipe against all corrosive environments, with the most continuous coverage available.Already, the Fast Wrap method has been used to produce an estimated 15,000 feet of one inch PVC coated rigid steel conduit used in the construction of the Parking Structure/ Trauma Center at John Muir Hospital in Walnut Creek, California in 2007. The conduit produced using the Fast Wrap method on this job was required by the electrical engineer on record, (EEOR) and then approved by OSHPD inspectors.
The Fast Wrap finished product has a minimum 80 mils. of physical protection, which is twice the protection of the traditional suppliers (such as Ocal and or Rob-Roy).We guarantee we can beat any legitimate price for products comparable to ours..For a comprehensive quotation please contact us by phone or e-mail. at (925) 238 1289 or info@fastwrapproductions.com
Without proper protection typical steel conduit can corrode quite rapidly with undesirable results as shown in this example.
A typical application is shown on the attached page (click here) which shows the diversity and flexiblity of our process.
In addition to our lower overall costs, we provide higher profitability for contractors with faster and easier installations. Our products do not require the timely and expensive installation procedures that our competition does, nor the various expensive extras that are needed to thread and bend the conduit.
Fast Wrap Productions has raised the bar on corrosion protection with tried and true methods and applications; improving the time-tested, accepted and approved practice of field-wrapping rigid steel conduit.
The Fast Wrap products line is industry standard. Our finished product, straight lengths of 10 and 20 foot conduit, are compatible with traditional suppliers PVC coated fittings Our spiral, double wrap process is consistent with specifications and requirements provided by Mazzetti & Associates, San Francisco, California. Our products are wrapped with either polyvinyl chloride or polyethylene tape, per the IAPMO Directory.
We meet or exceed all applicable specifications, including the following:
Underwriters Laboratory (UL-6)
American National Standards Institute (C 80-6)
National Electrical Code (Article 345-3b, 346).
Our products will protect your electrical system from the most demanding corrosive environments. Industrial applications include:
Hospitals
Water and wastewater treatment plants
Chemical plants
Dairy facilities
Pharmaceutical industry
Oil refineries and drilling platforms
Pulp and paper processing plants
Food processing
Underground construction projects
Sewage treatment
Or, anywhere corrosion protection is prudent.
