Aboveground CHASE®
Colombo Beverage Chase Systems offers three standard-sized aboveground systems for overhead use. 4”, 6” and 8” CHASE are stock items. The patented leak-proof structural join was designed “in house,” making Colombo’s CHASE conduit system the only leak-proof and structurally solid conduit system available. Colombo’s CHASE creates a smooth, continuous interior coupled with long sweeping bends, ensuring easy beverage line bundle installation and replacement in the future. In addition, all support components are powder coated or galvanized to eliminate corrosion, and designed for easy service access.
Most fire and health codes require beverage dispensing lines be installed in a beverage conduit system. Local codes may require the use of steel rather than aluminum. Colombo carries a complete line of aluminum and steel CHASE products. Many designers, architects and building contractors are not familiar with these codes; however, it is critical that they are specified correctly to avoid costly repairs and fines down the road.
