Water PipeTape

Products are prepared so that the lab surface-area-to-volume ratio is equal to or greater than the surface-area-to-volume ratio in which the product is intended for use in the field. Additionally, all test samples are rinsed with cold tap water, external cosmetic ink markings are removed, and products are prepared so that only normally wetted surfaces are exposed to the test water.

When I first got the StrikeLight, I handled it with extreme caution. Eventually I grew more comfortable as I learned how it worked. However, the next time I picked it up, I gripped a little too firmly while turning on the flashlight. This pressed the stun button on the other side and “stunned” both me and my cat! To clarify, I had it pointed in a safe direction so neither of us felt the shock, we were just both very surprised and startled by the loud noise.

The standard covers a wide range of water system components and materials used in our drinking water infrastructure from source to tap, including protective barrier materials, joining and sealing materials, mechanical devices (including treatment products), pipes and related products, mechanical plumbing devices, and process media.

There are several test methods in NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 used for pipes and valves, depending on the product type and its end-use conditions in the field, but all products tested to NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 are subject to the same basic testing steps:

Cement mortar-lined pipes are a popular choice for water supply systems that service major cities. They are durable for up to a century and provide great corrosion protection.

Gate valves are one of the most common types of valves used for general and residential plumbing. They are commonly used in either the fully open or closed positions and not for flow regulation. The valve manually opens and closes slowly, which prevents creating a banging sound along the pipeline.

Is it easy to turn on and off wearing gloves? – I was able to use it easily with gloves. It even worked with bulky mittens, but I had to use both hands.

Butterfly valves are lighter than other types of valves because they are compact and short. They are an economic option and can regulate the water flow but are sometimes less durable than other types of valves.

TASER also offers a payment option where you can pay over-time in 12-month installments. For the StrikeLight, that’s as little as $12.00 a month.

A self-protection tool that can be used as both a flashlight, stun gun, and striking device. To deliver a shock, the device must make contact with the attacker.

Ball valves are designed to operate in the fully open or fully closed positions and are commonly used for branch line shutoffs. They are a reliable option and provide a great seal when in a closed position. They do not offer flow control because of their positive stops.

Most states and municipalities in North America require pipes used in drinking water systems to be certified to NSF/ANSI/CAN 61- Drinking Water System Components- Health Effects. For manufacturers, certifying their products to this standard allows access to many markets in North America as well as a competitive advantage within the market. There are various testing methods used within this standard to ensure the products are suitable for use with drinking water. As an industry, it is our responsibility to ensure that our communities receive water from pipes that meet these strict health standards.

I used to think one downside of the tool is that it doesn’t allow you to protect yourself from a distance. However, now that I’ve heard the sound it makes, I can vouch that the loud noise is a good deterrent! I just recommend practicing until you get the hang of it.

50,000-volt stun capabilities – According to my research, volts determine how deep the shock can penetrate. Anything above 25,000 volts should be able to go through clothing. Many police stun guns have 50,000 volts.

Every U.S. state, except Hawaii, has published requirements for drinking water system components to comply with or be certified to NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 and all major U.S. plumbing codes cite NSF/ANSI/CAN 61. Canadian plumbing codes reference the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) standards which in turn require drinking water system components to comply with NSF/ANSI/CAN 61. 11 of the 13 Canadian provinces/territories require drinking water system components to meet this requirement for compliance to NSF/ANSI/CAN 61.

80 Lumen Flashlight - Lumens are a measure of brightness or the total output of a light source. An 80 lumen light is perfect for use around the house, general outdoor activities, making the path to your car visible, finding keys, etc. While it’s on the low end of the spectrum for blinding an attacker, one thing to remember is that a higher number of lumens mean a shorter battery life.

Could it go off in your purse? – I think this is unlikely because the flashlight must be turned on in order to activate the stun gun. Even if items in the purse pressed on both buttons, the flashlight button can’t be pressed inward, it’s a slide that must be slid up.

Pipes and valves play a vital role in our water systems, transporting water throughout treatment and distribution systems. It is imperative these drinking water system components do not contribute any harmful levels of contaminants to drinking water in the interest of public health.

Pressure relief valves are a reliable and commonly used type of valve in plumbing systems. These valves operate using a spring and diaphragm. They are a great option to help reduce the chances of a pipe system bursting by reducing pressure within the water line.

Fire safety signs use colors such as red for prohibition, yellow for caution, green for positive action, and blue for conveying information.

NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 sets the minimum health effects requirements for chemical contaminants and impurities that are indirectly transmitted into drinking water from drinking water system components and materials. Products that bear the NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 certification mark have met the rigorous health effects requirements of the globally recognized standard.

Choosing the best product for the job is important for any water utility with a mission to provide safe drinking water to their communities. Utilizing pipes, valves, and other drinking water system components certified to NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 is critical for meeting this mission. Water quality is only as good as the water treatment and distribution system that provides it.

Testing products intended for contact with drinking water is crucial to ensure the products are not leaching harmful levels of contaminants into our drinking water.

Ductile iron pipes have been used to transport potable water in major cities for centuries, standing the test of time. They are easier to install, stronger, and more corrosion resistant than some of the other pipe material options.

Products are either filled with exposure water for an in-product exposure or submerged in exposure water for an in-vessel exposure. The samples undergo a series of water changes across a timeframe that can range in length from one day to 17 days for pipes and valves. At the end of the exposure period, test water is collected from the samples and preserved for storage until the samples can be analyzed for any contaminants that may have leached from the product.

If you’re looking for a less-lethal self-protection tool, I think the StrikeLight is a great option! It’s easy to grab and take with you. Perfect for women on the go who want the extra dose of confidence!

The setup was simple, just add the batteries provided! There are two separate buttons- a grey one that slides up to turn on the flashlight, and a yellow button to activate the stun feature. The flashlight must be turned on before you can activate the stun gun.

While the StrikeLight is a less-lethal self-defense option, it’s clearly not a toy and should be treated with care. Make sure to point it in a safe direction and keep the stun gun away from your body.

Is it reliable? – At this point I can’t speak to reliability because I haven’t had it long. However, I the StrikeLight is constructed with quality materials. I’ve dropped it to see if it would roll, but I haven’t been very hard on it or gotten it wet. In normal conditions for the average civilian, I would hope that the quality materials lead to reliability.

I’m a concealed carry permit holder but during the winter, sometimes my coat makes access to my firearm tricky. I’ve been using the StrikeLight as a secondary tool when walking to my car at night, or when I’m going somewhere that I can’t bring my firearm. It’s so quick and easy to grab on my way out the door and it’s especially nice to have, now that it gets dark so early.

Cast-iron pipes are another popular type of pipe that is commonly used in water systems. They are durable with a high resistance to corrosion which makes them good pipes for long-term use. Additionally, cast-iron is a cheaper material to work with, resulting in lower costs.

Depending on my destination, I may bring the StrikeLight with me in my purse or leave it in the glove compartment. When I keep it in my coat pocket, it’s partially visible but that doesn’t bother me. It conceals very well in my purse but most of the time I carry it in my hand.

Whether it be for their unique performance properties or their durability, many of these drinking water system components have proven themselves over the course of centuries and are still the preferred options for water distribution systems today. This only goes to show, if the pipe is not broken, why fix it?

Hey guys, today I’m talking about the StrikeLight, another small, lightweight, and easy to use self-defense tool made by TASER Self-Defense. You may remember my review of the TASER Pulse+ from a couple weeks ago. Like Pulse, TASER also sent a StrikeLight in exchange for an honest review. Here are my findings.

Water systems are comprised of many different components that deliver safe drinking water to our communities. Piping systems and their associated valves are made in a wide range of designs and materials, depending on the application within the water system. Some of the most common types of pipes and valves used to provide easy access to safe, clean drinking water include:

A 100% unbiased approach to reviewing stun guns and tasers for self defense purposes. Below are all of the stun guns and tasers that we have rated and reviewed.

Steel pipes are a great option for water systems since they can withstand high water pressure while still being lightweight. For regions that experience extreme temperatures and precipitation, they might not be the best option because they require special preparation to ensure they can endure different weather conditions.

Again, I encourage users to practice operating the StrikeLight. Try turning the flashlight on without pressing the yellow stun button. If you wear gloves, rings, etc. practice with those too.

Third party certification through certifiers like NSF is the most trusted means to verify a product’s compliance with the health effects requirements of NSF/ANSI/CAN 61. Certification provides a mark of trust that products have been independently reviewed to meet this globally accepted and respected standard.

Products being tested are subjected to various buffered pH waters at one of three temperature options - cold, domestic hot and commercial hot, depending on the analyses that must be performed and product end-use conditions.

Before testing, all products are reviewed to determine the field use parameters and chemical composition of all wetted materials. This information is used to request an appropriate sample from the manufacturer and to prepare a test plan for chemical extraction testing. The standard specifies the minimum required test battery for each water contact material, and test batteries include material-specific analyses that cover the specific chemical composition of the materials within the product being evaluated. These tests may include analysis for metals such as lead, copper, and other regulated and non-regulated metals; and/or organic analysis including volatile and semi-volatile compounds.
