Installation
Introduction
COLOMBO BeverageCHASE® Systems are designed and engineered to
simplify the process of installing Beverage Distribution Systems
for the foodservice and beverage industries. They have been
designed to meet the needs of this industry. Specifying and
enforcing the installation of COLOMBO BeverageCHASE® System
products will assure proper chase-ways for the client.
The unique design of our COLOMBO Leak-Proof / StructuralJOINtm
provides not only a bonded "Leak-Proof" join, it also provides
a StructuralJOIN that enhances the overall strength and
structural integrity of the total system by creating a "Virtual
Single Tube CHASE®" through which beverage lines may be pulled.
COLOMBO has collaborated with 3M Corporation in the development
of this new JOIN process.
3M Corporation Laboratories have also tested the StructuralJOIN
to a 200-lb pull test with no physical damage to the join or
the tube. After the 200-lb pull test, the joins were re-tested
for water leakage and pressure tested to 40psi. Further testing
was subsequently conducted by 3M to "break load" conditions.
The JOIN withstood an average 574.7lb pull before separation.
(i.e. "started to separate". Note: The JOIN remained
intact.) Testing process
and details are included.
The COLOMBO STOUTi.e. Underground CHASE is another remarkable
product because it eliminates the possibility of groundwater
or seepage to sour and spoil beverage lines. The industry has
until now used PVC product which is intended for sewers and
drains and works well in that application.
COLOMBO BeverageCHASE® Systems are available in Aluminum
for Aboveground applications and STOUTi.e.® for
Underground applications. These products are available
in a variety of sizes to meet the needs of most installations.
Straight tube and bends in various radii and degree of bend
including custom bend radii are available.
COLOMBO has also designed and engineered an Installation Tool
Set to simplify and speed up the installation of BeverageCHASE®
Systems.
Our products address the needs of the food service and beverage
industries. Architects, MEP engineers and consultants will find
that specifying COLOMBO BeverageCHASE® Systems will improve
total cost of ownership for the owners and operators of the
facilities where they are installed.
COLOMBO core business is the design, development, manufacturing,
installation and service of pneumatic tube systems. Our 30+
years in this specialty mechanical field has provided the base
of knowledge necessary to bring these new products to market.
We hope you will be as pleased with their use as have been our
many customers thus far in this endeavor. Thank you for considering
COLOMBO BeverageCHASE® Systems.
