When it comes to pipeline and bore casing installations, ensuring proper alignment and support is crucial for long-term durability and performance.
One innovative solution that has gained significant traction in the industry is the use of kwik-ZIP spacers.
These high-quality spacers provide a range of benefits that improve efficiency, reduce installation challenges, and enhance the longevity of pipelines.
kwik-ZIP spacers are innovative pipe support and alignment system designed for use in trenchless pipeline, casing, and bore applications amongst other applications.
Manufactured from high-grade thermoplastic materials, these spacers provide an effective means of centralising and supporting pipes during installation. Their non-metallic composition makes them resistant to corrosion, reducing maintenance needs and extending the lifespan of pipelines.
Key benefits of kwik-ZIP spacers
- Improved pipe alignment and centralisation
One of the primary benefits of kwik-ZIP spacers is their ability to properly centralise pipes within casings. This ensures even weight distribution and prevents pipe sagging, which can lead to operational issues down the line. Proper alignment is essential for maintaining flow efficiency and preventing damage due to misalignment.
- Reduced friction for easier installation
kwik-ZIP spacers are designed with low-friction surfaces that facilitate smooth pipe installation. This feature reduces the force required to push or pull pipes through casings, minimising the risk of damage and ensuring a more efficient installation process. Contractors benefit from reduced labour time and costs, making projects more economical.
- Corrosion and chemical resistance
Unlike traditional metallic spacers, kwik-ZIP spacers are made from durable, non-metallic materials that resist corrosion and chemical degradation. This makes them ideal for use in environments where exposure to moisture, chemicals, and other harsh conditions is common. The long-lasting nature of these spacers translates to lower maintenance and replacement costs.
- Versatility for various applications
Kwik-ZIP spacers are suitable for a wide range of applications, including water and sewer pipelines, gas lines, and electrical conduits. They can accommodate different pipe sizes and configurations, making them a versatile choice for various infrastructure projects.
