Corporation
AN ISO-9001 CERTIFIED COMPANY
Thank You, VALUED CUSTOMERS, for your interest in Conley Piping Systems. Please allow us to
further acquaint you with our Products and Services. Conley Piping Products have performed
successfully in corrosive environments for nearly half a century. We co-invented the FRP industry as
the world's first FRP fitting manufacturer, and built the first FRP valves in 1953. We manufacture
Conley Fittings and Valves in accordance with ASTM D-2996, the filament winding process. We
believe our unique 3-stage process produces superior FRP performance, reliability and safety.
Fitting manufacturing begins with the finest raw materials available: premium Epoxy resins from Shell
Chemical, Ciba-Geigy, and The Dow Chemical Co.; Vinyl Ester resins from The Dow Chemical Co. and
Ashland Chemical Co., and Furan resin from QuaCorr and Ashland. All Fittings begin with a
STANDARD minimum double Nexus reinforced inner liner, (CORROSION BARRIER), available in
Epoxy, Vinyl Ester, or Furan depending upon the chemical and mechanical service
requirements. Conley Fittings are available in STANDARD Nexus veil reinforced 60 mil or 100 mil
Internal Corrosion Barriers, with fire retardant and abrasion resistant resin systems available in addition
to our standard options. We construct the filament wound CAGE with aromatic amine cured Epoxy
saturated finely woven E-Glass fabric and continuous strand for outstanding HDT performance (Heat
Distortion Temperature=over 300°F), with both medium and extra heavy duty structural reinforcement
available. Finally, we encapsulate our fittings with our standard Nexus reinforced External Corrosion
Barrier with UV inhibitors, and all fittings have a standard 25 year guarantee against UV degradation, or
"fiber-blooming". In addition to corrosion resistance, the final layer also provides increased impact
resistance, and allows custom color when requested. Since there is no fiberglass in the exterior layer
lung, eye, and skin irritation associated with airborne fiberglass particles during preparation for joining is
eliminated. Conley uses the straight socket system of joining for speed and simplicity of fabrication.
All Conley Fittings are post cured in electronically monitored ovens to insure optimum performance of
the resin system. This process chemically bonds all three layers into one integral composite laminate
structure. We electronically gauge the corrosion barrier of every fitting to the nearest 1 mil for proper
thickness. Every lot of resin, every bulk mix, and every batch is sampled and tested for reactivity and
cure. Each and every fitting is heat shocked from 250°F to 36°F, impact tested, dimensionally checked,
and visually inspected before the Quality Assurance stamp goes on. We are serious about quality at
Conley with 100% of our work force dedicated to Quality, and 12% devoted to the Quality
Assurance Department.
Conley is moving into the 21st century with our ongoing "Commitment to Excellence" in product,
service, and technical innovation. This commitment is responsible for a new line of Basket Strainers,
Straight-Thru Diaphragm Valves, Dual Containment Valves, Dual Containment Expansion Joints,
as well as the technology to encapsulate valves from other manufacturers. Conley can provide full
engineering services, CAD disks, and of course, our Field Technical Services are available for technical
advice, fabrication seminars, and on the job site supervision. It is standard procedure for the Conley
Technical Committee to assist with design parameters, resin selection, and other advisory functions.
All Conley Fittings are oven post-cured for optimum performance of the resin system. Each fitting is
carefully monitored through all stages of manufacture including: Sampling and testing of every batch of
resin, Barcol hardness, electronic measurement of laminate compliance to 1 mil accuracy, heat shock
from 250°F to 36°F, impact testing, hydro-testing, and final visual inspection before it receives the QA
stamp of approval.
