TracPipe® is a fully approved stainless steel semi-rigid gas piping system for natural gas and LPG installations generally between the meter and appliance.
TracPipe®, manufactured and Kitemarked to BS 7838, may be buried underground or directly in screed without the need for additional corrosion protection. TracPipe® bends by hand, needs very limited jointing and dramatically reduces installation time with speed, flexibility and ease of handling and fitting - improving safety and productivity with no need for time consuming hot work. TracPipe®'s superior tubing, coupled with its AutoFlare® fittings combine to make it the preferred gas piping solution.
At the heart of TracPipe®'s design is its unique patented AutoFlare® fitting. Available in a variety of options including BSP taper threads and copper compression, AutoFlare® fittings link all the benefits of TracPipe® to other pipe fittings (e.g. malleable iron, steel, copper, etc) and do it with no specialist tools.
Two spanners, a utility knife and a standard wheeled tube cutter with a steel blade are all you need to connect AutoFlare® fittings. AutoFlare® is self-flaring and easy to use. It is self-piloting and the joint seals with normal spanner torque for safe, leak-free connections. No jointing compounds or tape are required on the AutoFlare® part of the fitting.
