Green All Along, Fusiotherm® Is Now Aquatherm Greenpipe®Aquatherm, Inc. gives its environmentally friendly piping system a more appropriate and timely name.
Fully recyclable, Aquatherm Greenpipe uses a simple heat fusion connection to eliminate toxic materials, glues and resins, and open flames from the piping installation equation. It also creates seamless connections that when properly executed last a lifetime, while eliminating worries about the cost (and theft) of copper and other expensive metals. The pipe and desired fitting are simply inserted onto an Aquatherm welding device and heated for a specified time (typically only seconds), then joined together. Pipes and fittings have the same physical properties, thus eliminating systematic weaknesses. Additionally, a faser-composite layer in the pipe reduces linear expansion of the pipe by 75%, ensuring that it hangs rigidly even when subjected to high operating temperatures (up to 200°F). Aquatherm systems come in pipe dimensions ranging from 3/8" to 10" (equivalent) and provide an extremely attractive alternative to metal and plastic piping systems in the commercial HVACR, plumbing, and industrial markets (and others). Aquatherm Greenpipe's low material, installation, and nonexistent maintenance costs, combined with environmental friendliness and code approvals (listed to NSF 61, NSF 51 and NSF 14, in addition to many state and local jurisdictions) position it as the piping system of the future. A proven technology in 70 countries for the last three decades, Aquatherm piping systems are currently installed throughout Canada, with a rapidly growing U.S. presence.
