Thermacor’s Electro-fusion, Pressure-testable Joint Closures Are Now Certified to En489:2009

Thermacor’s Electro-fusion, Pressure-testable Joint Closures Are Now Certified to En489:2009 There is currently not a pre-insulated piping standard in the United States. The lack of standard gives each manufacturer some leeway in how products our manufactured. This is how some of the smaller manufacturers with less quality control are often perceived as equals to Thermacor by specifying engineers and owners. This lack of standard has forced some owners and engineers to turn to European standards as a guideline for both quality and functionality. The overall standard that governs pre-insulated piping for bonded foam systems in Europe is EN253. While our products are very, very similar if not identical in many aspects, most domestic manufacturers and their piping system components have not be certified to this standard………. ……however, Thermacor’s electro-fusion pressure-testable joint closure is now fully certified to the European joint closure standard, EN489:2009!!! This standard is comprised of a water impermeability test and a weld joint stress crack resistance test. *Thermacor strives to be on the cutting edge of quality and innovation*We’ve manufactured electro-fusion joint closures successfully since 1997*Our proven and tested quality is now certified to EN489:2009*No other domestic manufacturer has invested the time and resources to provide our

ARCTIC PIPE SOLUTIONS

ARCTIC PIPE SOLUTIONS For decades, Thermacor Process has been a leader in supplying pre-insulated piping systems to northern climates. The frigid conditions of Canada, Alaska, and Antarctica require stringent quality control and the most thermally efficient materials available. Thermacor specializes in arctic pipe regardless of the conditions or the requirements of the project. We manufacture insulated steel and plastic piping systems which can include appurtenances for electric or glycol heat tracing. Additionally, we offer a variety of jacketing systems including high density polyethyelene, and when increased rigidity is required, 16 gauge aluminum. Thermacor manufactures straight pipe, fittings, field joint kits, field fitting kits, wall and floor penetrations, and any other material required to provide a complete arctic piping system. Our facility in Chehalis, WA is ideally situated to service this market. Please reach out for any upcoming projects!
