GF Piping Offers New Pipe & Valve Support System
|
GF Piping Systems (GF) has introduced a new pipe guide and valve support system specifically designed to eliminate
stress transfer to plastic pipe caused by normal thermal expansion and contraction, improper installation, or seismic events. Mechanical stress
on plastic piping systems is one of the leading causes of premature leaks. Typical pipe clamp products often create unintended fixed points
throughout piping systems that permanently lock in stress. To address this challenge, GF's new Stress Less Pipe and Valve Support System
maximizes the service life of PP, PVDF, HDPE, PVC, CPVC, and ABS industrial piping systems by providing proper support. (Mike Smith, Downtown Los Angeles)
