TracPipe stainless steel semi-rigid
gas pipe is quickly becoming the recognized alternative to traditional
rigid copper or steel, installed between meter and appliance. (For installations
before the meter it is possible to use TracPipe and reference should be
made to BS EN 12007-1).
BSi Kitemarked to British Standard BS7838, TracPipe is suitable for natural gas, propane or butane, (1st 2nd and 3rd family gases), at working pressures to 75mbar.
For
working pressures above 75mbar reference should be made to The Institution
of Gas Engineers Utilization Procedures IGE/UP/2, and copies of approvals
to ANSI (American National Standards Institute) can
be provided.
New
to Europe, but with a 30 year proven history of installation initially
in Japan, and then in North America, TracPipe has now captured more than
35% of the US gas pipe market. TracPipe is available from nationwide distributors
and by mail order.
Tracpipe® manufactured to BS 7838 may be buried directly in screed/concrete, without the need for additional protection. Flow capacities for residential sizes of TracPipe are identical to those for copper (see BS 6891 - Specification for installation of low pressure gas pipework of up to 28 mm (R1) in domestic premises (2nd family gas)).

TracPipe bends by hand, needs very limited joining and dramatically reduces installation time with speed, flexibility and ease of handling and fitting – improving productivity and safety. TracPipe is available on long length reels, in seven bore sizes (DN 12,15,22,28,32,40 & 50) and terminates with male BSP fittings, simply and quickly attached, without the need for special tools. There is no need for bends or elbows as TracPipe can be easily bent by hand.
