ACE DuraFlo Creates ePIPE Restoration Technology

ACE DuraFlo Systems announced the release of the new ePIPE system in July of 2008. ePIPE is a patented, “in-place” epoxy-based pipe restoration technology that restores failing copper and encrusted galvanized pipes to like-new condition without the extensive demolition that accompanies traditional plumbing methods. Ideal for homeowners and businesses who cannot afford the downtime associated with extensive renovations, or those with expensive (or hard to find and replace) custom floors, ePIPE renews all plumbing to International Plumbing Code® (IPC) and International Residential Code® (IRC) standards. In addition, the process is completely dustless and can often be completed in as few as three to four days from start to finish, with little disruption. ACE DuraFlo’s ePIPE system restores piping systems to like-new condition in three easy steps:•    Air drying – air hoses are connected to the piping system. The isolated system is then dried with preheated, filtered air.•    Cleaning – the dried pipes are cleaned using an air and abrasive mixture that prepares the inside surface of the pipes for proper bonding of the epoxy.•    Epoxy coating – the final stage of the ePIPE process is the application of the epoxy lining to the system. This seals and protects the piping system from future corrosion.For more information, visit ACE DuraFlo.
