TEP
Tube-End-Protection-Protective cover for discharge pipes.
Discharge piping can become clogged, dirty or even blocked due to weather conditions such as rain or snow, or environmental influences such as leaves, vegetation or bird/insect nests. This creates an incalculable risk for the process to be protected. Effective pressure relief is no longer guaranteed in an emergency. REMBE® Tube-End-Protection effectively protects the open end of the discharge pipe against weather and environmental influences.
The protective cover made of breathable robust and waterproof PE fleece adapts perfectly to the discharge pipe due to the integrated elastic band. A 45° bevel allows rainwater to run off and prevents pooling.
When a safety device is activated and releases into the discharge pipe, the TEP detaches from the pipe and tears apart with minimal fragmentation as it flies away. The optional retrieval rope set, consisting of a 3 m expander rope, carabiner and 2 rope clamps, minimises the risk of any parts of the TEP flying away uncontrollably during disc opening. The retrieval rope set is reusable and does not need to be demounted after activation of the safety device. Additionally: The breathable material prevents pressure build-up in the pipe and the space between the safety device and the protective cover always remains depressurised. A positive side effect: condensation is minimised.
