Roller Casing Spacer

Although casing spacers play a small part in the installation process of a water or sewer carrier pipe, the part they play is an important one. 

Also known as casing insulators, they’re able to improve a carrier pipe’s performance, reliability, and life-cycle. In addition, insulators ensure accurate alignment, provide support, and reduce pipe installation time.

Why You Should Use Tecafine Casing Spacers

When you need to install a carrier pipe and casing, you’ll need a medium to fit between the empty annulus (the ring-shaped space between the carrier pipe and casing). For this, you’ll have two options, annulus filler or casing spacers. Unlike annulus filler, casing spacers can provide a number of benefits.

Repair/Maintenance

Main filler is sand that is used to fill the empty space between various pipes and its casing. While annulus filler provides insulation, it can make performing repairs on the casing or pipe difficult. For example, if a repair needs to be made, sand will either escape or will need to be removed to reach the carrier pipe. Once the repair is done, the missing sand will need to be replaced.

With Tecafine casing Pipe spacers, there’s no need for filler as metallic spacers will keep the pipe centered and secured in its casing. This means that repairs can be done more efficiently

Variety of Materials

Tecafine Casing Pipe Spacer can be made with a wide variety of materials. This can include stainless steel, carbon steel, polyethylene, epoxy-coated steel, and more. The material used is typically polyethylene or Rubber.

Costs

One of the biggest benefits that come with using Tecafine casing Pipe spacers is the opportunity to lower installation and maintenance costs. Annulus filler is not only expensive, but it requires extremely intensive labor and can act as an electrolyte, inviting unwanted current to the pipe. Tecafine casing Pipe spacers, however, eliminate the need for annulus filler. This results in efficient installation, repair, and replacement.

Pipe Integrity

When Tecafine casing Pipe spacers are installed on a carrier pipe, they provide protection to the pipe in a number of ways including:

• · Uniform support for the weight of the pipe
• · Electrical Insulation
• · Corrosion Protection
• · Keeping the carrier pipe and casing separate

And much moreHigh density (linear), injection molded virgin polyethylene casing isolators/spacers provide positive insulation, high abrasion resistance and low coefficient of friction for a wide variety of energy industry double containment carrier/ casing pipe applications. They are extremely light in weight and easy to handle during installation. A ribbed inner surface prevents slippage and guards against carrier pipe coating damage while the outer surface may include any one of several molded runners to accommodate 2” (50.8mm) x 4” (101.6mm) or larger carrier/casing differentials. One piece solid molded segments provide for maximum load bearing. Hardware includes cadmium plated steel studs, nuts and washers. A screwdriver is the only tool needed for installation.

Spacers

Spacers assist in installation of the piping system. We recommend that a spacer be used in each horizontal and vertical run of piping to adjust for dimensional piping differences. Spacers are available as filler flanges and ring spacers. Spacers can be machined in the field during system fit-up. This is important for existing piping systems where dimensions may have changed due to settling of foundations over the years.

Filler flanges are full face with drilled bolt holes and spiral groove phonographic finish on both sides for a good gasket surface. They match the pipe inside diameter and flange outside diameter. They are available in sizes 3″ through 30″ and thickness as required for system. We maintain a stock of 1/2″, 1″, 2″ and 3 ½” thick filler flanges in the different pipe sizes.

During field fit-up, tapered filler flanges can be used if mating flanges are not parallel.

Ring spacers match the pipe inside diameter and fit inside the flange bolt circle. They are available in 3″ through 30″ sizes in specific thicknesses or in a standard 12″ length. The standard 12″ length can be cut to the required thickness and machined with a gasket surface.
