KIMAX^® Laboratory Glass Drain and Vent Systems

Kimax^® Drainline Systems are designed for gravity flow. Borosilicate glass pipe and fittings are joined with bead-to-bead (B/B) and bead-to-plain end (B/P) compression couplings in diameters 1 1/2“ through 6“. Kimax^® glass piping systems are IAPMO Listed File # 0500.  To view the IAPMO Listing Click Here.

Kimax^® products are manufactured to be durable with surprisingly high load bearing characteristics and superior chemical resistance compared to plastics and other alternatives.  To view a short video demonstrating these features Click Here.

Kimax^® UL Classified Borosilicate glass conforms to ASTM Specification C 1053-90, Federal Specification DD-G-541-B, and Military Specification MIL-P-22561-B (YD) as manufactured by SCHOTT.  Glass-to-glass connections shall be made with KIMAX compression type bead-to-bead and bead-to-plain end couplings – article numbers 6650 and 6661 respectively.  Coupling’s outer shell, bolt and nut to be made from 300 series stainless steel.  Bead-to-plain end coupling outer shell must encapsulate compression liner to prevent cold flow and ensure leak-free joint.  Inner seal ring is made of tetra-fluoroethylene. System shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations and the governing plumbing code.

Installing KIMAX^®

• Safe- no off-gassing, field welding or fusing required

• Simple- A socket wrench, butane torch and KIMAX glass cutter are the only tools you'll need

• Fast- With B/P coupling no field beading required...EVER!

• Adaptable- Easily reconfigured to meet changing lab requirements and chemical compatibility needs

• Cost Effective - fewer hangers, no expansion loops or joints, simple UL classified firewall penetration systems File No. R11306 

• Labor - Installation time required is approximately the same as no hub cast iron.

KIMAX^® Glass Drainline is the only low VOC emission piping system validated by UL Environment

The design and construction industries are experiencing dramatic changes led by the sustainability, or so called "green" building movement. With the help of programs like the U.S. Green Building Council’s (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and the Department of Energy’s Labs21, these developments are transforming the marketplace and calling on everyone, from owners and architects to engineers and contractors, to make the ideas and practices of sustainable design the norm.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

PERFORMANCE & SAFTEY

KOCH KNIGHT-WARE^TM - NEUTRALIZATION SUMPS

Every laboratory and industrial DWV System is not only faced with the problem of transporting the acidic liquid wastes, but also how to store and dispose of  these wastes as well. Since KOCH KNIGHT-WARE^TM Acid Proof Chemical Stoneware Sumps have been used for over 80 years as the premium equipment in not only the handling and storage, but also the manufacture, of highly corrosive acids and chemicals it is the logical choice to handle such wastes. Partnered with KIMAX Glass Drainline it makes the most corrosive resistant DWV System on the market.

KNIGHT-WARE sumps provide positive and permanent insurance against acid and chemical attack. It does not depend upon a glaze or coating of any kind for its acid proof qualities - it’s in the body itself. Unlike some plastic sumps, which can be attacked by organic solvents which are normally present in laboratory wastes, KNIGHT-WARE is universally acid and corrosion proof regardless of the concentration of the acids handled. The only exceptions are hydrofluoric acid and strong caustic solutions.
