Materials
Brentwood Pi Bar Splash Fills are made from CTI STD-136 PVC with ultra-fine carbon black UV protection. PVC compounds used in Brentwood components have outstanding resistance to weather exposure and are nearly impervious to chemical degradation by alkalis and acids, grease, fats, oils, and biological attack. Because it is self-extinguishing, PVC has an excellent fire rating, which helps reduce insurance costs.


Wire Hanging System

The Brentwood Splash Fill Media Wire Hanging System (Hanger Brackets and Stainless Steel or PVC-Coated Wire) is designed to securely and effectively install Pi Bar Splash Fill Media:

Hanger Bracket

Hanger Brackets
Brentwood Hanger Brackets are designed to evenly distribute the load of the wire hanging system. Unlike the point loading of staples or nails, these brackets provide full-width support and minimize wire bending, wear, and breakage. They are delivered pre-notched to your specifications and pre-drilled for nailing. Brackets are available with or without a lip.
Heavy-duty brackets are available for installations where higher loading is anticiapated.


PVC-Coated, Galvanized Steel Wire

Riverdale Welded Wire Mesh
Brentwood recommends Riverdale Welded Wire Mesh for our splash fill hanging systems. Designed and constructed for the harsh environments found inside cooling towers, Riverdale Welded Wire Mesh is available in both 304L stainless steel and PVC-coated galvanized wire.

This PVC-coated galvanized wire is made from hard, drawn, low-carbon steel and galvanized to ASTM standards. The PVC coating is a durable, flexible, fuse-bonded coating with a minimum thickness of 0.015”. All factory-cut ends are sealed prior to shipping.

A wide variety of mesh sizes are available, with many of the popular mesh spacings available from stock (see table below).

Special features such as unequal vertical wire spacing, pigtails, and racking are also available.
