Carmel Plaza Dental had previously used Nu Flow's pipe rehabilitation technology to repair its water system and called them back to repair its compressed air pipes. Nu Flow cleaned and applied their patented epoxy coating to the interior of the 1/2" copper compressed air pipes to seal leaks and prevent further corrosion from humidity. A pressure test confirmed the system was no longer losing pressure. Nu Flow's epoxy lining can effectively repair and prevent leaks in both compressed air and water distribution pipes.

1. After Carmel Plaza Dental experienced the benefits of Nu Flow’s pipe rehabilitation technology on a 1/2” copper
potable water system, there was no hesitation in calling them back for another project. This project involved pipes
for compressed air rather than water. As with all mechanical systems, compressed air pipes and water lines have
an expected useful life after which regular repairs or replacement are necessary. However, using a patented epoxy
coating, Nu Flow can upgrade the durability of those pipes and extend their useful life.
Project: Line compressed air system consisting of copper pipes using Nu Flow’s patented epoxy coating.
Customer: Carmel Plaza Dental, a returning client for which Nu Flow
previously had rehabilitated a cold water pipe system.
Site: Carmel Plaza Dental Center, a dental office in San Diego, California,
with dental chairs in seven treatment rooms.
System: Compressed air system consisting of 1/2” copper pipe used to
deliver air to power dental tools.
Situation: The compressed air system was experiencing corrosion caused
by humidity in the air within the pipes. This lead to a pinhole leak which forced
the compressor to run more than usual to maintain adequate pressure.
Solution: Nu Flow proved to Carmel Plaza Dental that their epoxy coating
process is effective for water lines and used the same technology to renovate
their leaking 1/2” copper compressed air system. After repairing a pinhole
leak, Nu Flow cleaned the inside of the entire piping system and applied
an evenly-coated layer of their patented epoxy to stop leaks and prevent
corrosion. A pressure test at project completion verified that the system was
no longer losing pressure. The entire process was completed using existing
connection points to the pipe system and thus did not require demolition of
walls or opening access points in the floors and foundation of the building.
Potable and compressed air pipe systems are common in commercial,
industrial and residential buildings. Nu Flow’s epoxy coating technology
is effective in small diameter pipes as well as large diameter water
mains and fire suppression supply lines (up to 12” in diameter). Whether
you are experiencing problems now or are interested in preventing
the inevitable failure of your plumbing system, Nu Flow is available to
restore your peace of mind.
Nu Flow’s patented epoxy
lining system is
effective in repairing and
preventing leaks in both
compressed air and
water pipes.
