Drain-Guard™ Double Containment

Drain-Guard™ Double Containment piping systems provide safe transport of sanitary or storm drainage in critical areas.

  • Code compliance
  • Reliable joints
  • Lower condensation potential

 

Should a leak occur, people, equipment and valuable property will be protected from possible harm. Drain-Guard provides the secure environment necessary for piping in vital areas of a wide variety of buildings, including hospitals, museums, historical sites, libraries, art galleries, theatres, data centres, restaurants, and arenas.

Drain-Guard is a double containment piping system using System 15 and or System XFR as its primary components. The many performance benefits of System 15 and System XFR are enhanced by this dual pipe concept.

CERTIFICATION

Drain-Guard pipe and fitting components are third party certified to CSA B181.2

 

RELIABLE JOINTS

Double wall solvent weld joints set a new standard for joint tightness in a DWV application.

 

LOWER CONDENSATION POTENTIAL

The excellent insulative properties of System 15 and System XFR are enhanced with the secondary pipe and air barrier. Thus, condensation potential is greatly reduced.

SPECIFICATIONS

Meets the same requirements of System 15® and System XFR®

 

SYSTEM 15 DWV PIPE AND FITTINGS

IPEX System 15 Drain, Waste and Vent pipe and fittings shall be certified to CSA B181.2. When combustible pipe and fittings are used in buildings required to be of noncombustible construction, they shall be listed by ULC to the Standard CAN/ULC S102.2 and clearly marked with the certification logo indicating a Flame Spread Rating not exceeding 25.

IPEX System 15 pipe and fittings have been tested and certified by CSA to the CSA B181.2 standard.

 

SYSTEM XFR DWV PIPE AND FITTINGS

IPEX System XFR Drain, Waste and Vent pipe and fittings shall be certified to CSA B181.2 and when used in noncombustible construction, high buildings and air plenums, they shall be tested and listed in accordance with CAN/ULC S102.2 and clearly marked with the certification logo indicating a Flame Spread Rating not more than 25 and a Smoke Developed Classification not exceeding 50.

 System XFR pipe and fittings have been tested and certified by CSA to the CSA B181.2 standard. System XFR pipe and fittings are listed with ITS (Warnock Hersey) to exhibit Flame and Smoke values as per CAN/ULC S102.2-10.

CASE STUDIES

The CF Chinook Centre owners chose to centralize the disposal of FOG waste by running pipes from each restaurant to a single location. Jonathan Suisham, Mechanical Sales, IPEX worked with the engineering firm Smith & Andersen, to specify the Drain-Guard™ Double Containment piping system for this project.

 

Firestopping Combustible Pipes – Mechanical Business Magazine, September/October 2020

Since plastic piping systems are used so widely in construction today, I’ve teamed up with Kevin Yong-Ping, one of IPEX’s engineers, to raise the awareness of firestopping best practices as they relate to combustible pipe penetrations.
