    Long life expectancy


    The KPS LPG pipe is made of non-corroding polyethylene that
    has been used for petrol, gas and water piping for more than
    60 years. Polyethylene has properties that make it superior
    for use in buried piping: It does not corrode in contact with
    water, nor will the material become degraded in contact with
    soil. Polyethylene piping can remain in service for decades.

    The KPS LPG pipe has an inner lining that prevents


    permeation of hydrocarbons to the environment. The liner is
    the same that is used in petrol piping, with proven zero
    permeation as a result. The end fittings that connect the
    pipes to the tank and dispensers are made from 100%
    stainless steel in order to provide long-term safety against
    corrosion and prevent hazardous gas leaks.

    Short payback time


    An investment in KPS plastic LPG piping pays off quickly
    compared to standard LPG steel piping. With KPS LPG piping
    you do not need to install cathodic protection for the piping
    and there is no need to close the site every few years to
    inspect for possible corrosion or to perform hyrdostatic
    pressure tests to verify integrity of the piping. Even for a
    small station, payback time will be reached in about 5 years. Polyethylene

    Safe in hazardous areas


    When switching from steel piping to plastic piping you need
    to take caution not to introduce static electricity hazards on
    your LPG station. KPS LPG pipes have a dissipative
    (conductive) lining that prevents electrostatical charging. KPS
    LPG piping is the only plastic LPG piping that can be
    grounded to earth and it offers inherent protection against
    electrostatical hazards.

    For project managers and architects

    Design support
    OPW can provide designers and architects with support
    already from the initial stages of a project. We can
    provide the specifications and drawings that you need for
    your project. We can even make detailed, station specific
    installation drawings ready to use for the building permit
    application - or provide customized training for project
    managers, designers and architects.

    Proven installation process


    The KPS LPG installation manual and installer training
    describes, step by step, the installation of KPS LPG piping.
    The complete process is verified at actual installations by
    our technical support team to make sure no construction
    delays occur. The KPS installation manual can be used by
    project managers during the planning stages as well as
    during installation and commissioning to verify that the
    installation work is performed correctly.

    Clear test & verification process


    KPS LPG Pipe System™ has a clearly defined test and
    verification process that shows the steps to take before the
    piping system is ready for commissioning. The LPG
    installation checklist and test documentation form can be
    used to verify that all recommended tests have been run
    successfully.
    For installers

    Easy installation
    KPS LPG piping is considerably easier to install than stainless steel
    piping or plastic covered steel piping. The pipe is rolled out in full
    length from tank to dispenser. There is no need for welding or
    x-ray of welds. No cathodic protection is necessary as the pipe is
    non-corroding.

    Retain full flexibility on site


    KPS LPG pipe is delivered in coils of standard lengths. The installer
    can decide the correct pipe length on site and full flexibility is
    retained in order to adapt to unforseen circumstances that affect the
    run of the pipe, like large rocks or old concrete structures hidden in
    the ground. As there is no need to pre-order specific lengths, delivery
    times are shorter.

    Install using standard mechanical tools


    KPS LPG end fittings are installed using inexpensive standard tools.
    There is no need to rent or buy expensive machinery, or to order pre-
    mounted fittings with extended delivery times as a result. We can
    provide complete tool kits with exactly the tools that are needed for
    installation, but you can just as easily buy them in your local
    hardware shop.

    Full technical support


    OPW provides full technical support for the KPS LPG Pipe System™,
    starting with an easy to read installation manual, illustrated
    installation instructions and installer training in the local language.
    To get you off to a good start, we provide on-site installation support
    during your first KPS LPG piping installation. Our technical support is
    always available by phone or email.

    Rated for high pressures


    The KPS LPG Pipe System™ is rated for 25 bar (363 psi) continuous pressure,
    well above the pressures normally used on LPG filling stations. The pipe can
    be pressure tested at 40 bar (580 psi) to verify the integrity of the pipe after
    installation. The burst pressure or the pipe is around 250 bar, offering an
    excellent safety margin.

    TÜV approved
    KPS LPG Pipe System™ is approved by TÜV Süd for use on LPG filling
    stations. The TÜV approval validates that the KPS LPG Pipe System™ is fit for
    purpose and may be installed on LPG filling stations. TÜV Süd has concluded
    the KPS LPG piping will have a service life of at least 25 years. KPS LPG
    piping is the only plastic LPG pipe approved by TÜV.

    ATEX approved and EN compliant


    KPS LPG Pipe System™ is approved to the EU Directive 97/23/EC on work-
    ers’ safety and CE approved to the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) and
    allowed to carry the CE mark. KPS LPG Piping System™ is also compliant
    with the relevant requirements in EN 13163-1, Non-electrical equipment for
    potentially explosive atmospheres. When using KPS LPG piping you comply
    with all the mandatory EU directives for LPG filling stations.

    Solid supplier
    The KPS LPG pipe is developed by KPS, the leading developer, manufacturer
    and supplier of plastic piping for petrol, diesel and ethanol filling stations,
    with a track record going back to 1981. KPS petrol piping has successfully
    been installed at countless filling stations in Europe, Asia, Africa and the
    Middle East.

    KPS is now part of OPW, a global supplier of fuel retail equipment and a
    Dover company (NYSE: DOV). We are certified to ISO 9001 and 14001.
