A very specialised chemical drainage system mainly used in laboratories and other applications where there needs to be the safe disposal of chemicals and waste after use as they cannot just be disposed of into the sewer system
A general piping system that can be used in many applications including general plumbing in a house
A range of pipe fittings that can be connected to any type of pipe for use in laboratories and similar applications
Starts at the water mains outside the building
It starts from the laboratory sink, drip cup, or fume cupboard and ends at the manhole, or septic tank
Starts at the laboratory tap
Ends at the sink
To store chemicals after use in the laboratory
To trap any unsafe chemicals in preperation for diposal
To dilute the Chemicals and weaken their strength
4 Meters
5 metres
6metres
1 meter
Mechanical jointing system (uses a fiiting with a cap nut to connect the pipe to the fitting)
ElectroGlue System - uses an electric glue gun to weld the pipe to the fitting
Enfusion system which uses special electrical heating equipment to melt the pipe and fitting edges at the same time to electro weld them (or fuse them) together
Solvent weld jointing using special Vulcathene solvent (similar to PVC weld) - easy to use and strong and works on polyprop material

Yes, any standard PVC pipe is suitable to the Vulcathene system
It depends on the pipe material
No. Definitely not. That is why Vulcathene is not a standard fitting

It would corrode due to the harsh chemicals used in a Laboratory and leak. Such leaks cause a lot of damage and endanger users safety
Nothing. PVC is the correct pipe to use with the Vulcathene system
It depends on whether it was installed correctly. When PVC is correctly installed as part of the Vulcathene system it is very safe

All drip cups should be fitted with glass base bottle traps. Because highly concentrated Chemicals from Test tubes are usually discharged into Drip cups
The Vulcathene system only has this type of bottle trap so it is used everywhere
Stacks are used to discharge Chemical drainage from several floors. In other words each floor is discharging into one common downpipe known as a stack
It is a stack of pipes at the water inlet in a laboratory where the pipes are verticlly alighned to get a higher water flow rate
In a laboratory the lab must be able to ensure good airflow to dispose of chemical fumes. An air admittance valve is fitted to the wall to allow this from outside air
On the top of a stack about 1 meter above the first discharge fitting. It allows air to be drawn into the stack for anti syphon reasons
A fitting which allows a stack to expand, and contract with the variation of temperatures
A fitting which allows a borosilicate bottle trap expand, and contract with the variation of temperatures as chemicals are drained
A fitting which allows vulcathene pipe to expand btwewwn the basin waste and before it reaches the bottle trap , and contract with the variation of temperatures
Never used in a laboratory environment
Sometimes gullies are not used. However if they are we can use them to further dilute the Chemicals to the Manhole or particularly to Septic tanks
In the event of Chemicals being splashed onto A Laboratory technician it is essential that such a person is immediately placed under such a shower to dilute the Chemicals immediatelyto prevent bodily harm
A spare shower in case the main bathroom facilitry showers do not work
There is no such thing as an emergency shower
To rinse eyes before putting on laboratory clothes and helmet to ensure no contamination is atken into the labortaory from outside
There is no such thing as an emergency eye wash
Any Chemicals accidently splashed onto a persons face must be washed out immediatelyFor dilution purposes to prevent damage to the eyes
