Special Features

Thermacor Prefab Systems

Pre-Fabricated / Pre-Engineered Systems

Prefab systems are part of a complete piping system designed and manufactured to jobsite dimensions in order to minimize field welds. Prefab systems are delivered to the jobsite as part of a completely pre-engineered system. Thermacor can also offer stress analysis reports, heat loss/gain calculations or design help for this system as well as with others. This system is the highest quality option available. The contractor has only to assemble the numbered pieces as shown on our engineered site drawing, and then field insulate the joints.

Thermacor Pressure Testable Joint Kits

Pressure Testable Joint Kits

Utilizes an electric-fusion stainless steel wire embedded in an easy-to-install wrap-around HDPE sleeve. By applying a 12 amp electric current, the wire melts and fuses the surrounding sleeve and jacket together to create a pressure testable watertight seal. The joint is tested at a recommended 5 psi, and becomes mechanically as strong as the HDPE jacket itself when fused properly. The pressure-testable closure ensures watertight integrity of the critical pipe joint connections and can be used on all HDPE jacketed systems.

Thermacor Ferro-Therm SC

Ferro-Therm SC & Copper-Therm SC

Ferro-Therm SC and Copper-Therm SC are standard component piping products for above and below ground applications. Fittings and accessory components are delivered to the jobsite in standard sizes and configurations for ease of installing the systems. This product provides better security than field-insulated systems because the pre-insulated components are manufactured under quality controlled factory conditions. The contractor is only required to make field cuts where needed, attach the SC fitting and then field insulate the 12” straight joints.


Thermacor Electric Resistance Monitoring

ERM Leak Detection

Electric Resistance Monitoring provides easy to monitor leak detection in foam insulated piping systems. The ERM system is simply a bare copper wire embedded in the insulating foam. Since the foam is not a conductor of electricity, there will be very high resistance between the wire and the metal pipe (reading 100,000+ Ohms). If the foam becomes wet, the water will complete the circuit and the resistance will drop to values approaching zero.
