Installation
1. Surface Preparation Remove all soft coatings and media blast the pipe to a 2.5 mil profile (NACE 3 minimum). Wipe the surface with a solvent such as Acetone, Toluene, or MEK. |
|
2. Load Transfer Filler Mix the putty or paste until uniform in color and apply to any defects. Shape the filler to near net surface profile of pipe. |
|
3. Adhesive Primer Mix equal parts of the adhesive primer until uniform. Apply the primer to the pipe surface, ensuring a minimum of 30-mil coverage. Allow the primer to sit until a “peanut butter” thickness is achieved. |
|
4. A+ Wrap™ Preparation Remove the A+ Wrap™ from the foil pouch and submerse in water for 1 minute. Wrap the material around the pipe, while spraying each layer with water. Apply uniform tension during application. |
|
5. Apply Compression Wrap Tightly apply 4-6 layers of compression wrap over the repair. Perforate the surface of the compression wrap to enable out-gassing. |
|
6. Apply Top Coating if Needed Allow two hours for the A+ Wrap to harden before removing the compression wrap. Afterwards, if needed, apply the pipe coating. |
