Gastite, a leading manufacturer of Corrugated Stainless Steel Tubing (CSST), has launched FlashShieldTM, a new CSST system that provides more layers of resistance than any other CSST product currently in the marketplace. FlashShield CSST also eliminates the need for additional manufacturer-required bonding and offers the highest level of lightning protection available in flexible gas piping systems.
The two layers of semi-conductive polymer jackets and the metal mesh help make FlashShield more resistant to the damaging effects of electrical energy than standard CSST. The new fitting is designed with tooth-like indentations that directly touch metal to dissipate arcing and ensure better continuity between the fitting and the metal mesh.
The FlashShield CSST system was tested under controlled conditions in a third-party laboratory. The results showed that FlashShield is proven to perform more than 10X better than similar conductive CSST.
