Pivot Master Floating Roof Drain Systems
The Pivot Master was designed to innovatively provide a better solution to floating roof drainage problems. It combines both the flexibility of composite and hose systems with the strength found in rigid pipe/swivel join systems. The pivot Master is basically a steel pipe drain system with flexible joints that withstand an extremely wide range of service conditions.
Advantages of the Pivot Master compared to Swivel Joint Systems:
- Straight-line design – no offsets to cause unbalanced loading
- No O-rings, bearings or seals
- No moving parts to lubricate
- Designed for submerged service
- No flow restrictions
- Load Stresses transferred across joint, not through it
- Easy installation
Advantages of Pivot Master Compared to Hose Drain Systems:
- Continuous slope design – no sediment traps
- Small operating area – no tank layout required, minimizing downtime
- Fixed position – no damage due to interference
- 100% aromatic resistant components
- Higher design pressure
- No kinking or collapsing
- No dragging or scraping action across tank bottom
- No ballasting needed
Other Advantages of the Pivot Master Drain System:
- Ease of design and installation
- No measuring of roof legs and other internals required prior to design
- Immediate delivery of system components, reducing tank downtime
- Minimal field welding required for system installation
- No piping runs required on underside of floating roof
- Pivot Master flexible joints can be used for internal floating suctions
- Pivot Master Roof Drain Systems can be designed for dual use Fire Fighting Foam Delivery Systems
Pivot Master flexible joints are attached to Schedule 40 carbon steel piping to provide a rigid, maintenance-free drain system. Piping diameters of 3″ through 10″ are readily available from stock.
