Industry Leading Epoxy

We use epoxy manufactured by A. Lehmann and Co. AG, a Swiss company, which is NSF/ANSI standard 61 approved for 1/2 inch and larger pipes and meets the health standards for potable water applications in North America.

Temperature Rating: Our epoxy is rated for commercial hot application and is recommended for hot water re-circulation systems.  Epoxy is rated as either domestic hot (140 F +/- 3 F) or commercial hot (180 F +/- 3F).  Homes which have re-circulation systems can have water temperatures that exceed 140 F. Although epoxy which is rated domestic hot is standard in the industry, we use the higher standard epoxy rated for commercial hot to ensure that your water system can handle all temperatures.

Viscosity Rating: System Rikos epoxy is rated to leave a coat 20 millimeters in thickness in your pipes.  Most other epoxy is rated for a maximum of 10 millimeters. Our epoxy is more viscous, takes slightly longer to apply and results in a more even coating throughout your plumbing system.
       
Cure Time: After 8 hours the epoxy is set to permit water flow and has near maximum physical characteristics.

Flow Rate: With Rikos Evrfllo technology, you will not detect any downgrade in the flow rate. In fact, you may experience an increase in flow rates based on the smoothness of the hardened epoxy, compared to the rough copper and galvanized surface.
