PVC (PLASTIC) JACKETING Clause Samples
The PVC (Plastic) Jacketing clause specifies requirements for the use of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) as a protective outer layer on cables, pipes, or other materials. It typically outlines the standards for thickness, durability, and installation methods of the PVC jacket to ensure adequate protection against environmental factors such as moisture, chemicals, and physical abrasion. By defining these parameters, the clause ensures that the materials are properly shielded, thereby extending their lifespan and reducing maintenance or replacement costs.
PVC (PLASTIC) JACKETING. 10.1 Plastic shall be fabricated and cut in the same manner as metal. Gores, end caps, and conical pieces should have crimped laps when possible. Notched laps on all end cap pieces will be acceptable in lieu of crimped laps.
10.2 Plastic will be welded under all laps with the appropriate glue to secure installation.
10.3 All edges shall be sealed for vapor barrier by running a continuous bead of glue over their entirety, thereby allowing the installation of the properly lapped plastic in either direction.
10.4 Caulking should be used wherever metal protrusions meet plastic.
10.5 Tacks shall not be used.
