A Tradition of High Standards in Corrosion Protection

OCAL-BLUE PVC coated conduit for superior corrosion protection


Corrosive elements cause millions of dollars in damage through lost time, materials, and labor. For years, our industry has searched for an answer to this expensive problem. OCAL Inc. has the solution. OCAL-BLUE coating is a complete and total protection package for your entire conduit system. By encapsulating the conduit, OCAL prevents corrosion from striking weak points in your system. OCAL-BLUE is a complete system with more than 2,500 varieties of fittings in stock, as well as corrosion-resistant supports, and patching compounds. OCAL-BLUE conduit and fittings have set quality standards throughout the electrical industry for over 35 years. OCAL Inc. has achieved its outstanding reputation through careful attention to every step of the manufacturing process. OCAL is unique in the industry. We start with 100% American-made steel pipe, and then fabricate and galvanize the product in our own facilities, before applying the PVC coating. We maintain total quality control throughout the production process. Only OCAL meets NEMA RN-1-1989 standard 2.1 which reads, Where unusually corrosive elements require additional protection, it is recommended that threads be zinc coated with a hot dipped process or equivalent. Only OCAL hot dip galvanizes the threads before coating them with blue urethane for double protection. Hot dipped galvanizing is the process through which the iron pipe is dipped in molten zinc causing the zinc to alloy with the iron at the surface.

Get the OCAL-BLUE Advantage

B
Specify OCAL-BLUE coating wherever the environment is corrosive OCAL-BLUE is a dense polyvinyl chloride coating with a minimum thickness of 0.04" (40 mil) on the exterior and a chemically-cured blue urethane coating with a nominal thickness of .002" (2 mil) on the interior and over the hot dipped galvanized threads. Extra Corrosion Protection OCAL-BLUE PVC coated conduit with blue urethane interior coating is the answer to internal corrosion. We start by manufacturing the rigid conduit and do our special Hot Dipped galvanizing after fabrication, alloying the zinc with the steel. The galvanizing is done after threading, making the industrys only Hot Dipped galvanized threads to provide the extra protection you need. Our PVC compounds are made from primary materials without the addition of fillers or secondary materials. The end result is sealing characteristics that outperform any other corrosion prevention system. The strong bond between the PVC coating and the metal substrate prevents any migration of corrosion under the coating. Chemically cured urethane is baked on for a tough finish that will not chip, peel, or crack and is very flexible. The OCAL-BLUE system permits bending, threading, and cutting without loss of any sealing characteristics. OCAL offers a full line of fittings, elbows, wireways, light fixtures, panel boards, and other electrical accessories coated with the OCAL-BLUE process. Specify OCAL-BLUE Coated Conduit and Fittings in the Following Applications: Chemical Plants Refineries Fertilizer Plants Steel Mills Pulp and Paper Mills Food and Dairy Facilities Offshore Platforms Cooling Towers Water and Waste Treatment Plants Pharmaceutical Facilities Breweries Salt Plants Electrical Substations Gas Transmission Lines And, many other corrosive environments

Kopr-Shield Compound

B
The Copper Colloidal Surface Treatment That Protects, Lubricates and Enhances Conductivity Between All Electrical Connections
Good connections are one of the most important aspects of electrical work. Mechanics know how much down-time is caused when fluids or oils leak into the raceway system or looking for a weak link in a ground system caused by a high resistance connection. Mechanics also know how much time is spent keeping contacts, switches, lugs and other connectors clean or replacing parts because of green scourge build-up. Thomas & Betts has the solution to improve connections made in thousands of electrical and raceway installations made each day by electricians everywhere. Kopr-Shield compound is a unique homogenized blend of pure, polished colloidal copper, rust and corrosion inhibitors that simultaneously protects, lubricates and enhances the conductivity of the mating surfaces to which it is applied. Extremely adhesive, Kopr-Shield compound flows smoothly into uneven contours and voids, making application easy, protection and lubrication complete and positive. A stable compound, it will not settle-out, thin, thicken, harden, or dry out under the most severe environmental conditions. Kopr-Shield Compound has excellent temperature characteristics brushed on at 50F to 250F (other compounds either turn solid or run like water at these extremes). Even at 1800F, Kopr-Shield remains intact for short terms. Kopr-Shield Compound may be used to advantage in all electrical installations. When the environment is hostile to good electrical and mechanical connections, Kopr-Shield Compound is a must! Use Kopr-Shield Compound for Battery Lugs and Cables. Prevention of Green Scourge corrosion. Reduction of resistance. Ease of terminal installation and removal. Use Kopr-Shield Compound for Raceways. Lubrication Ease of assembly and disassembly. Grounding Continuity Improved Exceeds code requirements. Use Kopr-Shield Compound for Fuse Clips. Even Heat Distribution Elimination of hot spots. Oxidation Prevention Prevents carbon path formation. Lubrication Easy installation and removal of fuses. Use Kopr-Shield Compound for Wiping Contacts, Drum Switches and Slip Rings. Prevention of galling, burning, pitting and discoloration. Suppression of arching and dissipation of coronas. Lubrication for ease of operation.

Kopr-Shield by Thomas & Betts meets the requirements of Section 300.6(A) in the 2002 NEC Code for Protection Against Corrosion. Where corrosion protection is necessary and the conduit is threaded in the field, the threads shall be coated with an approved electrically conductive, corrosion-resistant compound.

Application of Coating

3.3.1 Cleaning The exterior surface that is to receive the coating shall be free of grease, oil, dirt, and other extraneous matter. The surface shall be cleaned in such a manner that the galvanized surface of the conduit is not harmed or eroded. 3.3.2 Priming The cleaned exterior surface shall be primed with an adhesive suitable for use with the PVC coating material to be applied. 3.3.3 Coating The PVC material shall be applied in powder, plastisol, or pellet form by a manufacturing method which will produce a finished product conforming to these standards. 3.4 Elbows

Artificial weathering, Minimum hours 1000, no adverse effect

*The above requirements are based on testing a 0.040 in. (1.02 mm) PVC coating applied over NPS 3/4 inch (21) galvanized rigid steel conduit. See Section 1 for information on the ASTM test methods. 3.8 Adhesion

The adhesion of the PVC coating to the conduit shall be greater than the strength of the coating itself. This shall be determined by making two circumferential cuts, above 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) apart, through the plastic to the substrate. A third cut shall be made perpendicular to and crossing the circumferential cuts. The edge of the plastic shall be carefully lifted with a knife to form a plastic tab. This tab shall be pulled perpendicular to the conduit with a pair of pliers. The plastic tab shall tear rather than any additional coating film separating from the substrate.

Coated elbows shall be used with coated conduit. The thickness of the coating on elbows shall be in accordance with Section 3.1.

Bonding Test Using a sharp knife make two parallel cuts through the coating d" apart. Make a cut connecting those two cuts and work with a knife underneath the plastic to free a plastic tab. The tab shall be pulled with a pair of pliers away from the pipe. The tab should tear leaving particles of plastic on the metal surface indicating the bond is stronger than the tensile strength of the coating. Ocal

OCAL Recommended Installation Procedures

B
PVC coated conduit is installed in much the same manner as conventional rigid galvanized steel conduit; however, certain precautions must be taken to compensate for the exterior coating and to assure satisfactory results. By following these guidelines and by using the proper tools, a damage-free installation can be obtained. It is recommended that a yoke vise be used in the field for clamping PVC coated conduit. When using a yoke vise it is recommended that the standard hardened steel jaws be replaced with the specially designed OCAL JAW vice adapters that provide greater clamping force to prevent the pipe from spinning during the threading operation. To hold conduit in any other vise, take two pieces of rigid conduit one size larger than the coated conduit, 6" 8" long. Using a band saw, slice them the long way slightly off center. Use the smaller slices as a shell around the conduit (throw away the large ones). This will grab onto a large area, allowing a strong grip without damage to the coating. It is preferred that a roller-type cutter be used in cutting the conduit as it results in a b" exposed area of pipe before the start of the PVC jacket. This will allow the threader dies to engage the conduit more easily and lessen pressure at the clamped area. OCAL offers an electric bender manufactured to accommodate d" through 2" PVC coated conduit allowing damage-free bending. For 2d" and larger sizes, a hydraulic bender is recommended. Shoes especially designed for PVC coated conduit are available from most manufacturers. Ocal If existing rigid hydraulic shoes (not EMT) are to be modified, acceptable results can be obtained by machining .060" from the inside of the shoe. To overcome any tendency of the conduit to slip vertically out of the shoe during the bending process and cause kinking, OCAL offers a pipe retainer clamp which can be modified to the shoes of any type of bender for sizes 2d" or larger. A hacksaw or bandsaw will result in a flush cut of the PVC and conduit. In this instance it is recommended to taper-trim the PVC starting at b" from the cut. This pencil-cut will allow the threader dies to engage more readily. If the end is not trimmed, additional pressure will be required to engage the dies. Use a reamer to remove any burrs or sharp edges caused by the cutting operation. Threading PVC coated conduit with RIDGID hand dies requires modification to the dies. The inside diameter of the pipe guide of the die head must be machined out .120" to compensate for the PVC coating. Factory modified die heads are available from your distributor. After the new threads have been cut, it is important that corrosion protection be applied to the exposed metal. A degreasing spray should be used to thoroughly clean the threads and the internal ream. After the threads are completely cleaned, liberally apply Kopr-Shield Compound per NEC article 300.6(a).
