www.marinelink.com capability and proves that with subsequent impact stress, polyethylene is not susceptible to surface damage. This robust behavior combined with an acute resistance to frac- ture is a significant advantage over other common ther- moplastic piping systems. Boatbu ilding applicationsinclude under-floor heating, compressed air and vents, sec- ondary containment, low temperature brine pipe-lines, gas and water distribution, grey and black water, ballast, and sea and fresh water cooling. GF Advantages The COOL-FIT piping system is billed as a completesolution for secondary cooling and refrigeration and can handle nominal working temperatures from -50°C to +40°C. In marine related applications, COOL-FIT can be used for fresh water and sea water, secondary refrigeration and air conditioning. Specific applications include grey/black water treatment for ballast and bile lines, fresh water treatment refrigeration, and even swimming pools. The system is based on the tried and tested COOL-FITABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) plastic piping sys- tem, which contains pipe, fittings, valves and transition fittings, and has the option for preinsulated pipe and fit- tings. The COOL-Fit Plus two in one system includes pre-extruded COOL-FIT ABS with Polyurethane Foam and protected with jacket pipe of PE100. COLDWEATHER OPSJUSTGOTA LITTLE EASIER.The cold, hard truth is that marine commerce in cold, previously inaccessible parts of the globe is here. That?s not going to change, anytime soon. Reliability, low main- tenance and light weight piping that fits into a lower space profile is arguably just the ticket for workboat operators suddenly thrust into new roles, in far-off frozen environ- ments. Certainly, there?s no argument about that. www.gfpiping.com PE100 COOL-FITEase of installationNo corrosion / Maintenance Free Good chemical resistance Top efficiency = 0.026 W/m.K High impact resistance at low temps Reduced costs for pipe hanging Good abrasion resistance 25 year life span Low weight Simple fast and clever installation Excellent cost/performance ratio Low weight Safely & securely joined by heat fusion 100% vapor tightFully integrated system (½? - 36?)100%UV resistant MN#5 (50-59):MN 2011 Layouts 5/7/2012 1:07 PM Page 51
