Environmental Protection Requirements
Contain-It™ benefits Federal, state and local regulations have been created to

protect our environment from industrial pollution. Many of
• Fits over virtually any carrier system
these regulations provide criminal penalties for owners,
• Lightweight, easy to install
managers, and employees for environmental damage caused
• Clear construction for visual leak detection
by chemical spills and leaks.
• Interlocking construction
• Engineered bonding media channels and flanges Industry has been assessed clean-up expenditures which far
• Pre-drilled bonding media injection ports exceed the costs to install protective measures. When
• Quick and easy fitting clips penalties and fines are added to the costs of cleaning up spills
• Predetermined fitting clip locators and leaks, it becomes obvious that industry has a legal and

When you combine the advantages of Contain-It with the
complete line of thermoplastic piping systems from GF, you’ll Split Pipe and Fittings

system can be tested without interference from the
containment piping. Any leaks found during testing can be
easily repaired. Leak detection cable can be installed as the
split components are assembled, eliminating the need for time
consuming cable pulling or the inclusion of lines to pull the
cable. Containment piping can be retrofitted over plastic and
metallic systems above and below ground, protecting
employees, equipment and the environment. Split pipe and
fittings are available in 3”, 4” and 6”.
Solid Pipe
Solid pipe may be combined with split fittings in installations
which do not require retrofit capability or where it is preferred
to pull a leak detection cable. Solid pipe is available in 3”, 4”
and 6”.
Flexible Adapter
Flexible adapters allow connection to metal or chemical
resistant plastic carrier systems other than PVC.
Centralizer
Centralizers center and support the carrier pipe. They are
available for IPS, metric and CTS carrier pipes.

Pressure Rated
Although normal containment systems are not required to
handle high pressures, the Contain-It system can be pressure
tested via low pressure air or hydrostatically as defined in the

• Injection gun and mixing tips: to inject bonding adhesive bonding, the fitting shall be held together by the clips provided.
The clips shall be affixed over the integral fitting clip locators.
Final containment inspection shall be accomplished via low
pressure air or hydrostatic test per manufacturer’s
recommendations.
Injection Bonding System
The Injection Bonding System provides a controlled application
of the bonding media, eliminating the mess usually associated
with brush-applied resins and solvent cements. The bonding
media is injected into the interlocking groove found on split
pipe and interlocking channel found on split fittings to provide
a leak-free seal.
