DUOCON
CENTRALIZERS
DuoCon
Centralizers are used to support and space a section of pipe
inside a secondary pipe on dual containment systems. These
plastic centralizers can be used on all types of pipe including
fiberglass, PVC, polyethylene and steel. APS centralizers
are manufactured from injection molded, high density polyethylene.
Centralizers are also called spacers or spiders.
DuoCon Centralizers are lightweight, economical, and easy
to install, requiring only a screwdriver. We recommend installation
every 8 to 12 feet. Other benefits of polyethylene include
high impact strength and abrasion resistance. The low friction
of polyethylene facilitates easy installation when sliding
the central pipe. Molded into the inner surface are grooves
which prevent slippage and cold flow of coated pipe.
The APS DuoCon Centralizer has excellent dielectric resistance
and low moisture absorption which allows it to be used as
an insulator for cathodic protection. Sizes are available
from 2" to 12" with a standard runner height of
1". Extensions of as much as 2" can be added optionally.
Centralizers 14" and above are available in multi-segments.
Corrosion resistant polyethylene materials designed for dual
containment systems. Available in sizes from 1" to 48".
