Benefits
Cost Effective
- Save Precious Labor Hours
- EZ Purge® is the most efficient and economical purge dam alternative available because the dam can immediately be placed in the pipe.
- Improve Project Timelieness
- Precious labor hours are not unnecessarily used gathering supplies, measuring, cutting or constructing a dam. The dam dissolves instantly upon contact with water. Time and labor are no longer needed to remove inflatable bladders, especially in inaccessible pipe areas.
- Save on Inventory Purchases
- Since EZ Purge® includes both water-soluble paper and tape, there is no need to buy separate inventories of sheets or rolls.
- Save Gas
- Conventional purge dams such as inflatable rubber bladders, rubber gaskets, or cardboard discs traditionally must be placed far from the weld zone. Remote placement of the purge dams may require large amounts of pure gas to be introduced to fully displace the oxygen in the weld zone, making the use of conventional purge dams cost prohibitive. Aquasol water-soluble paper and tape and EZ Purge® can be placed in close proximity to the weld zone, thereby using less inert gas.

- Time Savings

- Ease of Use
- Because EZ Purge® is ready to use, the welder only needs to peel, insert, and press.

- Aquasol's EZ Purge® Dam can be effortlessly dissolved and flushed out of the system with water or steam; leaving no residue in the pipeline.
- EZ Purge® is available in a variety of sizes from 2" to 72" in diameter, designed to fit various pipe schedules enabling you to find the size needed for any project. Custom sizes available upon request.
