What is Royston Handy Cap?
The Royston Handy Cap is a prefabricated assembly
specifically designed for Cathodic Protection leads to pipes and
tanks. When pressed by hand into position over the anode lead wire
weld, it forms a thick, highly resitant electrical insulation seal
over the weld, the end of the lead wire and the surrounding area
of the pipe or tank. |
- No
Liquid Primer Needed
- Easy Field-Applied Corrosion Protection
- Ideal for Keyhole Applications
- Dome and Tunnel Provide Easy Access
- Tapecoat Gray Adhesive Eliminates Liquid Primer
- Elastomeric Compound Encases Weld Profile
- Serrations Conform to Small Diameters
Handy Cap IP is a 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 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 IP easier and more economical.
Tapecoat Gray Adhesive bonds the tough outer shell of the Handy
Cap IP to the bare metal weld area and surrounding shop applied
coating. Innovative Tapecoat Gray adhesives incorporates an integrated
primer and provides exceptional bonding without the costly application
of liquid primer. A protective compound within the dome molds itself
over the irregular welded profile and encases the exothermic connection.
Application Information:
- Clean all
mud, dirt, grease, oil and other contaminants from the metal surface
and mill coating which is to be covered. The Handy Cap IP incorporates
an integrated primer in its Tapecoat Gray Adhesive and does not
require the use of a liquid primer prior to application.
- Remove the
release paper from the bottom of the Handy Cap IP. Bend the plastic
sheet inward at the serrations when applying to small diameter
pipe. Position and place the Handy Cap IP on the welded area with
the tunnel over the lead wire.
- 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 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.
