General Air Products' Vapor Pipe Shield Simplifies Corrosion Prevention

General Air Products’ Vapor Pipe Shield, a UL Listed Vapor Phase Corrosion Inhibitor (VpCI®) delivery system, has been introduced as a new solution to simplify corrosion prevention in dry and preaction fire sprinkler systems. Watch this helpful overview!

VpCI® has a decades-long track record of protecting metallic products, such as car parts and steel bridge cables, from corrosion during transportation / storage and their lifetime of use. Vapor Pipe Shield is piped directly in line on the sprinkler system’s air line, and the protective VpCI® molecules are carried into the piping network by the supervisory air compressor, forming an invisible, one-molecule thick barrier on the internal metallic surface of the sprinkler system. The VpCI® molecules even penetrate standing water in the piping network and protect the pipe beneath it, making oxygen and moisture irrelevant to corrosion prevention.

Now on the market for well over a year with over 300 successful installations in the U.S. and Canada, Vapor Pipe Shield is establishing a track record as a recommended alternative to conventional corrosion mitigation solutions in the fire sprinkler industry. Vapor Pipe Shield offers a fully mechanical and simple installation process and comes at a fraction of the cost of other conventional corrosion mitigation technology in the fire protection industry.
