Handy Cap XL IP
is a 5" x 5" prefabricated assembly designed to provide
quick, field-applied corrosion protection to anode
and test lead wire welds on metal pipe and tanks.
This economical product is ideal for use in limited
access applications. New Handy Cap XL IP now adds
the innovative technology of Tapecoat Gray Adhesive
to its unique design. The integration of a primer in
Tapecoat Gray makes field application of Handy Cap
XL IP easier and more economical:
-
No separate liquid primer
required.
- Ideal for
Keyhole Applications
- Dome and Tunnel
Provide Easy Access
- Elastomeric
Compound Encases Weld Profile
- Conforms to
Small Diameters
Handy Cap XL IP
is a larger version of the 4" x 4"
Handy Cap IP.
1. Clean all
mud, dirt, grease, oil and other contaminants from
the metal surface and mill coating which is to be
covered. The Handy Cap XL IP incorporates an
integrated primer in its Tapecoat Gray Adhesive and
does not require the use of a liquid primer prior to
application.
2. Remove the
release paper from the bottom of the Handy Cap XL
IP. Bend the plastic sheet inward at the serrations
when applying to small diameter pipe. Position and
place the Handy Cap XL IP on the welded area with
the tunnel over the lead wire.
3. Push the
dome of the cap firmly into the weld area. Lift the
lead wire away from the pipe and squeeze the
adhesive compound completely around and underneath
the wire. Push the lead wire back down on the pipe
and press the elastomeric compound into firm contact
with the pipe over the entire area.
No
further protection is required when the Handy Cap XL
IP covers the entire exposed metal area. Uncovered
areas should be protected with primerless Tapecoat
or Royston tapes. Remove the narrow plastic release
film to accommodate tool use for keyhole
applications.
