FAQs

Can TracPipe AP be buried?

TracPipe^® AP cannot be directly buried in the ground. It must be in a non-metallic watertight conduit. We manufacture an underground system which is pre-sleeved with the required watertight conduit called TracPipe PS II (patented). PS II is specifically designed for underground and underneath building installation.

What is the best way to cut TracPipe AP?

Use a standard tubing cutter. When you are installing the larger diameters it will become necessary to purchase the larger cutting wheel in order to handle the larger sizes.

How do you size TracPipe AP?

TracPipe AP is sized with the same method as black iron gas piping. The only difference is the sizing chart that is used. Charts specifically designed for TracPipe AP or its designated EHD flow capacities must be used. These charts are found in the back of the TracPipe AP Design and Installations Guide. Three pieces of information are required to size a gas piping system. These are distances of piping runs, appliance loads, and supply pressure.

Can TracPipe AP  fittings be concealed?
