Tracpipe commodity class

[Ben Young]

Does anyone know the commodity classification for Tracpipe counterstrike
gas line?
Its SS flex with a polyethylene jacket that includes a flame retardant.
It comes on wooden spools.

Apparently this place is the only one that stores this stuff.

Is there someplace where UL or FM or anyone else keeps a database of
commodity classifications that are accessible for our use?

I try calling the manufacturer and the only thing they can tell me is that
it meets the E82 requirements and its class 55 for transportation. I'm at
the point where I think I'm just going to call back the manufacturer and
ask to speak to the maintenance man and get the hydraulic placard info off
their own risers.


So yeah, the Poly jacketing definitely leads me to believe its a group A
plastic as worst-case scenario, but I can only squeeze class IV out of my
sprinkler system, and that took some work.
I guess I can try to determine the weight and volume percentages of the
poly vs the rest of it, but its not like I can do that easily on the back
of a napkin.

Alright, rant over. But if anyone does know of a place to easily get
commodity classifications I would appreciate being clued in. And thanks in
advance for listening and/or helping me out.

Sorry I meant E84 not 82.

I’ve had good luck if you getting back to manufacturer. If they don’t have the right person I have them refer me to their insurer. Often at that point, especially if it’s FM, you are within 2-3 calls.

It may be they are more helpful if you are the fire department.

Best.
