DESIGN & ENGINEERING DATA
FlowGuard Gold
®
pipe is inherently ductile allowing it to be deflected around or away from obstructions during installation.
This allows for greater freedom of design and ease of installation.

Pipe
DO NOT install fittings under stress. Pipe or tube must be
restrained so that stress from deflected pipe is not
transmitted to the fitting. Installing fittings under stress
may result in system failure and property damage.
