Unloading and Handling
Before attempting to unload FRC™ pipes, personnel should be aware of the weight to be lifted.

Preparation
It is essential to be completely familiar with design drawings and specifications, before commencing pipe installation.

Pipeline Assembly
FRC™ pipes are simple to assemble and install, requiring no welding, brazing, or other specialised techniques.

Installing Fittings
On suspended systems, FRC™ fittings should be installed in a similar method to the equivalent sized pipes.

Suspending Pipes
FRC™ pipes may be hung from the structure or coupled to it. A range of different brackets can be used to support pipes and fittings however these should be certified by their manufacturer for suitability.

Resisting Thrust
Normal engineering requirements apply to FRC™ suspended pipelines for the restraint of out-of-balance forces generated by internal pressure at changes in pipeline direction.

Testing
The purpose of testing a suspended pipe system is to ensure that the joints and fittings are watertight and that the bracing is capable of resisting the thrust for which it was designed.
