Clear Guard by Petron Thermoplast

Clear-Guard TM 's fail-safe, fully pressure rated clear containment system allows for easy detection of leaks and eliminates the risks associated with piping aggressive chemicals overhead. Clear-Guard utilizes Guardian's patented Centra-Lok fitting design, which reduces the required joints by 40-60% COMPARED TO CONVENTIONAL SYSTEMS. Fittings are available in clear or opaque containment fittings.

Material Selection
Clear-Guard utilizes a fail-safe, fully pressure rated clear PVC that uses a solvent cement joining method identical to traditional vinyl pressure pipe. This eliminates the need for expensive caulking guns and epoxy adhesive for assembly. Clear-Guard can be used in conjunction with both Schedule 40 and 80 Xirtec140 PVC or Corzan CPVC primary pipe.

General
Each contained piping system shall consist of Xirtec 140 PVC or Corzan CPVC primary piping system supported within a Clear-Guard Schedule 40 clear PVC secondary containment housing. Carrier fitting sizes 1/2" through 4" will use Centra-Lok [U.S.Patent No. 5,398,973] molded supports minimizing the number of field (factory assembled) fitting joints. Each system shall be provided with suitable drains and vents and be designed to provide complete drainage of both the primary and secondary containment piping. Interstitial supporting devices shall be made from Polypropylene Centra-Guide supports and shall be provided within the secondary containment pipe, and shall be designed to allow continuous drainage in the annular space to the drain points. Drain fittings shall be designed to allow a valve attachment to be made so that the secondary containment compartment maybe readily drained and manually checked for leaks.
